Denton J. Tipton has also updated his blog today, not with a post, but an update to this sidebar, which contains IDW’s Transformers comic schedule.
The only addition is that The Transformers: All Hail Megatron #5 will be coming out on 26th November, and given the quality shown so far, we recommend you pick it up.
Chris Ryall has posted a new cover on his blog and in the process revealed the next series of Marvel UK reprints from IDW. Again coming under the “Best of UK” subtitle, the next series will be City of Fear, following on from current series, Time Wars. The cover is drawn and coloured by Andrew Griffith.
Given that the January 09 previews are already out, The Transformers Best of UK: City of Fear is expected to start in February or March next year.
The Boo has posted his cover for Transformers: Animated The Arrival #6, the final issue in the series. The issue features brothers Jetfire and Jetstorm and their origin story.
The Arrival #6 is due out in January 2009 from IDW Publishing.
Just 2 Transformers comics this week, the first being The Transformers: All Hail Megatron #4, continuing the Decepticons reign of Earth, and Transformers: Animated Volume 5, the screenshots of the cartoon series.
Chris Ryall again has the covers for the issues, 2 for All Hail Megatron and 1 for Animated Volume 5.
After completing the script for The Transformers: Maximum Dinobots #3, Simon Furman has provided some information on the issue, which is due to be release in February 2009. The blog post has some spoilers, so only read if you’re likely to forget what happens before next year.
Art is by Nick Roche with colours by Josh Burcham and issue #1 is currently looking beautiful!
Good news for anyone like me wanting to pick up The Transformers: Revelation in trade paperback form, Amazon have listed it for release in February 09, so check back a month from now for the official February solicitations.

Derrick J. Wyatt has posted some more interesting comments to do with the Transformers: Animated universe.He discusses how because of Marty Isenberg’s involved with the cartoon, IDW comic and Animated Game coming later this month, it helps expand the Animated universe and make everything more manageable.
His last comment is of particular interest to G1 fans:
There are absolutely TONS of G1 concepts that are practically begging to be in Animated. Maybe some of them will get to.
