Transformers #41

In “The Landscape of Fear,” the Crystal City, last refuge of the Autobots, is under siege. But with the arrival of last-minute reinforcements, do they have what it takes to turn the tide of battle in their favor? And what of the other threats to Cybertron-Insecticlone swarms, rust worms, and a great evil reborn?!

Transformers: Beast Wars #14
(W) Erik Burnham (A) Josh Burcham (CA) Winston Chan (CA) Brenda Chi (CA) Colm Griffin
Everyone is acting a bit strange… In Transformers: Beast Wars #14, Waspinator and Scorponok come across some more of the aggressive mutant animals we’ve seen in earlier arcs and find out what actually mutated them! How will this new power affect the Cybertronians?

Transformers: War’s End #2

(W) Brian Ruckley (A/CA) Jack Lawrence (CA) Angel Hernandez (CA) E. J. Su
Trapped at the bottom of the Sonic Canyons, a group of Autobot scientists come face-to-face with Cybertron’s greatest threat, Exarchon, and his lost armory. Can the peaceful Autobots hold out until help arrives-and with the Crystal City under siege, can the Autobots spare any help to begin with?

Updated the upcoming books and TPBs listing with some new items and new release dates (including the Beast Wars Vol 1 TPB being pushed back yet again, now 6 months delayed from its original publication date).

Also worth noting, the "Best Of Megatron" issue that is due out this month on the 2nd (so should now be out) could just be a digital exclusive, and is the first of three, with Optimus Prime (January 5th) and Hotrod (May 25th) being the other two (which also, both appear to be digital exclusives).
The Amazon listing also says that Megatron is book one, coming out two months after book two (Optimus Prime)... but they could be wrong, if there isn't any numbering on the actual digital copy.
