More specific details on the content will be revealed in the coming months.
For anyone unable to attend the San Diego Comic-Con this year (probably most of our readers), and disappointed by the fan made video coverage, IDW Editor Denton J. Tipton has posted a clear video of IDW’s powerpoint presentation, which shows previews and covers for All Hail Megatron #2 and #3, the covers for Spotlight: Blurr and Maximum Dinobots, the logo for Spotlight: Sideswipe and lots of toher bits of art.
Editor-in-Chief Chris Ryall has posted the cover The Transformers: Spotlight Volume 3 TPB. The cover art is an unused image by Marcelo Matere featuring Grimlock with the other Dinobots.

Marcelo Matere has updated his DeviantArt Page with the cover for IDW’s Transformers: Animated Arrival #3 comic. The comic, due out in October, is written by Marty Isenberg with art from Dario Brizuela and Boo.
The cover was originally revealed with the October 2008 comic list and last week at SDCC.
After the announcement of Transformers: Destiny, the 5 part prequel to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Chris Mowry has talked to MTV about the series and how it will link his current series, The Reign of Starscream, to the film sequel. He goes on to confirm what Simon Furman mentioned, that The Fallen is in the sequel.
“[We’re going to] explore the background of The Fallen — the main villain of the movie — as well as expand on the ‘Reign of Starscream’ story that we’re doing and tie everything in to what this next movie is going to be,” explained writer Chris Mowry, who partners on the book with artist Alex Milne. “The next movie starts out with just tons of action and there’s obviously going to be a lot of questions, so we’re hoping to answer some of those beforehand.”
Simon Furman has completed his script for issue #16 of Titan’s Transformers UK comic, and has provided a general story overview. The story, titled ‘Dark Spark’, is a stand alone story, following on from the previous two stories, Aftermath.
Titan Transformers (UK) #16 is due out on 11th September, with art from Jeremy Tiongson. A preview can be found below:
IDW had plenty of panels at last week’s San Diego Comic-Con, and announced some new titles coming in the next year.
Lots of art was shown for All Hail Megatron, Spotlight: Blurr and Simon Furman’s new series, Maximum Dinobot, a 5 issue series, which is previewed in the following image:
As far as new series, Transformers: The 13 will celebrate the 25th year by telling of the original 13 in another origin series. The series will be written by Simon Furman with involvement from Hasbro, which can be considered good or bad.
Continuing the Transformers movie universe, Transformers: Destiny will act as a prequel to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The 5 issue series will start in December 2008. Chris Mowry and Alex Milne will pair up again to produce the series. Simon Furman will work on the Transformers 2 adaptation.
Chris Ryall and Simon Furman were also interviewed by Comic Book Resources. BEWARE, there is a major spoiler for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
Alex Milne, who is the artist for IDW’s Transformers: The Reign of Starscream, has posted his cover for the 5th and final issue of the series on his DeviantArt page. The issue is due for release in August, but will probably come out in early September.
Reign of Starscream #4 is oiut on 13th August.
