More comic news (it seems the only thing happening in the Transformers world) this time from writer Simon Furman, who has added his thoughts to the Transformers Revelation announcement with a post on his blog.

In his blog, he confirms that the four Spotlight issues are indeed Cyclonus, Hardhead, Doubledealer and Sideswipe and together they will bring the Dead Universe storyline to an end. There will also be “fallout” from Transformers Stormbringer and many of the Spotlight issues.

He also clarifies what series are coming out this year. He confirms the The 13 and All Hail Megatron series that we’ve already heard about but also that there is another series which is set within the main continuity.

Expect more details on the series in the next few days when the June solitications are released and Simon continues his script (w)raps.

After the news and cover unveiling 2 days ago, we now have some more artwork for Transformers Revelations from IDW Publishing.

The covers are for Spotlight Cyclonus and Spotlight Hardhead again but these are the Nick Roche variant covers with a sort of Animated twist.

After the end of The Transformers: Devastation this month, fans have been not only wondering when the next series starts but which series it will be. All Hail Megatron and Revelations have been mentioned but not officially announced until now.

Chris Ryall, on his blog, has posted the first details on the next arc, the ‘Transformers Revelations Saga’. However, instead of being a 6 issue story arc like Infiltration, Escalation and Devastation before, the re will instead be four chapter, presented as Spotlights.

This may sound confusing but Chris had this to say on the naming of the series “It’ll be, like, Transformers Spotlight: Cyclonus, with the “Revelations Saga, part 1″ as a subtitle or some such.”.

As you will have gathered from that quote, the first Spotlight will be on Cyclonus, with the second being Hardhead, and both covers have been shown. The other 2 characters we will let you debate over from the sketch.

E.J. Su and Nick Roche will be providing covers for all four issues with Su also doing the artwork for issues 1 and 4. The series is set to start in June.
