Bumbleebee and his inner circle have their recent Earth modes on the four covers. The cover with them all together suggests that they are getting new Cybertronian modes (which makes sense given the storyline of their book). Bumblebee still has a cane though.. shame that getting a new body can't fix the problem with your leg!

We are buying two Transformers comics a month now anyway, and I don't find it a bad thing... I just look forward to the Chaos issue more than the Last story on Earth issue. It's also similar to the early IDW days where there were are couple of series at a time.

Comic companies assume that large numbers are "off-putting" to new readers and know that speculators/'investors'/somewhat interested people are likely to try out a new issue 1. DC just renumbered every single superhero book they produce and, even though some where approaching the 700s. Marvel has restarted the numbering on every long running comic they produce, but often then reset the numbers back to 'original' numbering (Amazing Spider-Man, Captain America, Fantastic Four have all done this). And now they are adding .1 to some book numbers to suggest it's like an issue 1 as it's the start of a new story/status quo. It does makes things very confusing.
