With the run up to the release of The Transformers: Maximum Dinobots #1 on 10th December, some daily teasers are going to be released on the IDW forums.
Yesterday’s teaser is a page from the first issue, drawn by Nick Roche and colored by Josh Burcham.
Look out for the next teaser later today.
More Ark additions, this time with some concepts for the Generation One episode, Megatron’s Master Plan. The 2 part episodes sees the Decepticons trick the humans into thinking they are good, and the Autobots are evil.
Jim Sorenson has put up a page of designs that showed how humans celebrated the Decepticons.
This weeks only new comic material is Transformers: Animated: The Arrival #5, which continues the in continuity stores from writer Marty Isenberg. A 5 page preview has been put up, which features material from the main story starring Optimus Prime in the Autobot Academy.
Also present are the 3 covers available. Here’s my favourite cover:
Everything in IDW’s catalogue is arriving 1 day later this week, so no need to get angry. This week sees two releases, Transformers: Best of UK: Time Wars #5, the final part of the Marvel UK story reprint, and Transformers Animated: The Arrival #5, the penultimate issue of the series.
Chris Ryall has also got his dates mixed up, having originally announced Maximum Dinobots #1 and
More than Meets the Eye Vol. 2 TPB coming this week. This explains why he has the covers for these comics on his blog.
Bad news people, after two Beast Wars comics series and a set of sourcebooks, it seems we will not be getting any more for the foreseeable future. Editor Denton J. Tipton has posted the announcement on the IDW forums, but didn’t give a reason. Most likely it is due to the large number of comics planned for 2009, with lots Revenge of the Fallen comics coming.
I’m sorry to report that there are no Beast Wars minis planned for the near future.
At least this gives me time to complete my Beast Wars story.
Jim Sorenson has posted the transformation sequence for Fortress Maximus. The piece was originally, as well as other transformations, to be included with The Ark books.
A repackage of The Ark and The Ark II is coming in August 2009, perhaps with some more content, if space can be found.
Out in 2 days, the next issue in the All Hail Megatron series introduces a new character, Drift. To help the wait, ComicsNewsi.com have a 5 page preview, which focuses on the Autobots, which should please some of the haters.
Just one release this week, with the continuing of IDW’s main arc, The Transformers: All Hail Megatron #5. The issue features the first appearance of new character Drift.
The AUTOBOTS make a shocking discovery on their home planet of CYBERTRON that could be their greatest hope, or their worst nightmare. This is an issue of startling discoveries as a secret is revealed that will shake the foundation of the AUTOBOT cause and a brand-new TRANSFORMER makes his first appearance!
As usual, Chris Ryall has the 3 covers for the issue.
