The most likely length of this new edition will be the Imax version of the film, which added a few needless scenes.

Written by Big Bot on November 7, 2008 | Comics,IDW Publishing,News | Tags: ,

Chris Ryall has posted some new art from longtime Transformers artist E.J. Su, a cover from a mysterious future issue.

The inks cover shows Jazz and Razorclaw battling it out with destroyed buildings around them. The only other clue to the issue is that it is coming out in March 09, which means it is unlikely to be an IDW main series, and more likely a Spotlight issue.
