After months of wondering exactly Transformers: Focus on Decepticons was, we finally have a better idea, with Chris Ryall posting some details, and a preview page, on his blog. There is also the cover for the issue.

The issue is a preview book, with an 8 page preview of issue 1 of the Transformers All Hail Megatron series, which starts in July. Luckily, Chris has also posted a 1 page preview, featuring some characters who haven’t appeared in this continuity yet, so spoilers are coming.
