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 art is done by UK artist Nick Roche.
