This week sees the release of the final part of The Transformers: Devastation from IDW and Simon Furman, as always, has provided his thoughts on the issue. There are spoilers-a-plenty so buy and read it before reading his blog post.
The Transformers Devastation #6 is written by Simon Furman, with art by EJ Su.
Fantofan have provided some details from Wonderfest 2008 in Japan with news of TakaraTomy’s releases.
The Japanese Transformers Classics release(Henkei Transformers) was shown, with vistors given a hands on. Transformers Encore Jazz, a rerelease of G1 Jazz, was on display, with a new face mold.
There was also Trans-scanning Optimus Prime and Music Label Optimus Prime Ipod Docking Station Trailer on display.
Artist Shane McCarthy has posted some information on the IDW forums about the All hail Megatron series that will be quite interesting to fans.
He doesn’t given away any spoilers but does confirm that the series is in continuity with the main IDW G1 story. There will be Autobots in the series but there is still no news on when the series will start or how many issue there will be.
I thought I’d drop by and say hello. ‘Focus On’ is due to hit the shelves soon and it’s great to see everyone getting excited about ‘All Hail’. I’m a big TF fan myself and if you guys have half the fun reading it as I’m having writing it you won’t have anything to worry about.
Anyway, I’m not one for spilling the beans completely (we buy comics for a reason, I like my surprises on the pages) but I wanted to at least drop a hint or two your way since being supporters of these boards should come with some perks right?
Hints:
1) Yes, it’s ‘in continuity’.
2) No, it’s not a ‘world without Autobots’ (that was a misquote from a television interview I did)
3) F-15s? Hell yes.
This weeks comic releases have been revealed as – Transformers Spotlight: Arcee, costing US$3.99 and Transformers Spotlight TPB Vol 2 for US$19.9. SPotlight volume 2 contains Spotlight Soundwave, Kup, Galvatron, Optimus Prime and Ramjet.
Chris Ryall has posted the second cover to Transformers Spotlight: Grimlock on his blog. The 13th Spotlight issue is written by Simon Furman (who’s favourite character is Grimlock) with the cover and interior by Marcelo Matere.
The bad news is that the issue seems to have been delayed from March to late April. This may be a mistake but we will try and confirmation for Chris Ryall soon.
Fan2Fan are reporting that Encore 07 Skylynx, the famous British accent Transformer, has been released today in Japan from TomyTakara.
The rare figure, that was originally released in 1986 as part of the season 3 line, is likely to sell out very quickly, so get shopping.
Also released in Japan are various Transformers movie toys.
With the release of Transformers Spotlight: Arcee in the next couple of days, Simon Furman has commented in his blog on his expectations for the issue and the fan reaction to his take on female Transformers.
Artist Alex Milne has uploaded 5 pages from Transformers Spotlight: Arcee, which is due out later this week. The full colour pages offer a glimpse of what’s to come in the comic.
Red Mercury, an online Japanese retailer has put up a picture of what looks like the linup for TakaraTomy’s Encore 09 Minibots.
In the picture there is Bumblebee, Swerve, Pipes, Tailgate and Outback. We will have more confirmation once other retailers have updated their listings.
The set is due out in May 08.
After teasing us with some art, Chris Ryall has now confirmed that the next Spotlight from IDW is going to be Wheelie. The ryming Autobot is going to get a new personnality and is aimed at NOT being the most annoying character that ever lived.
