Transformers Spotlight On…
In Chris Ryall’s latest blog post, he has put up 2 pages for the next Transformers Spotlight issue. He has mentioned who it is focused on but has asked fans to guess.
One quick look at the pages suggests it is everyone’s most hated robot of the original cartoon series (and Transformers The Movie), Wheelie! Many signs point to him being the character, having already appeared in a monitor in Spot: Optimus Prime and with the Spotlight series focusing on less popular characters.

All Hail Megatron Promo Art
You’ve probably already seen the poster with the red Decepticon logo on the front, with the words “Swear allegiance”, but now a more interesting promo piece of art has been found.
IDW Editor-in-Chief Chris Ryall , has posted some more art for the series, with a soviet style poster of Megatron’s head and some jets in the background. The words “All Hail” appear, but apart from this, nothing more is known about the series. There is a possibility that it could be the next Evolutions series but nothing has been confirmed at this time.
The art is done by UK artist Nick Roche.
