    Default Surprises from the IDW Panel at NYCC09

    Some big and unexpected news from the NYCC regarding Transformers.

    IGN has posted their rundown on both Transformers and GI Joe.

    Most of the rundown consists of information we already know, on many comics already released, such as the RotF movie prequel comics, Maximum Dinobots, and even Spotlights Jazz and Drift.

    However there is also the first reveal of Spotlight Metroplex, to be written by Andy Schmidt with Marcelo Matere on art duties.

    Also revealed is the AHM Coda, a four part mini series that IDW looks to be using to attempt to try and get AHM and the Furmanverse to mesh together better. (so a 12 issue maxi series then needs another 4 issues to help set it up ).

    Also coming out will be a IDW Beast Wars comics collection and a 16 page poster book.

    Awesome. Another writer. I'd love to see how Metroplex comes into being or his role in the IDW verse. Hopefully he's at full size like Omega and not Fort Max

    I don't think that's a problem. It's just a prequel that's all of how all of it came to be and I like it. It goes back over the mysteries set in AHM.

    More good news. Especially on that poster book. Look forward to that.

    I like this attempt to mend things with fans. No complaint from me.

    some good news there, especially spotlight Metroplex (love Metroplex) and AHM coda is a good idea, as i think IDW lost people, when all of a sudden you have a planet full of decep's and left wondering what happened to the autobots and how certain characters are still in one piece. So hopefully this will answer all those questions.

    Spoiler joke?! AHM issue 11 ends with Drift laughing as Megatron is about to destroy him. He reveals that New York City is actually a Transformer and he just woke him up. Last page, splash: New York City stands up in robot form: Metroplex!!! Oh wait, that's the end of Space Pirates!/Spoiler joke

    If it had have happened in the G1 toon it'd be very believable, but I doubt McCarthy ever read the G1 comics, he didn't read the IDW ones he was meant to be following on from.

    Well remember that probably-wont-happen-but-maybe-could-spoiler Trypticon was built by the Constructicons out of a human city in FFOD. So maybe I'm wrong about which giant robot New York City will transform into? Maybe Metroplex will be needed to fight New York/Trypticon?? End
