Out next week is MTMTE #50... which is from February, so IDW are still a bit behind with some of their comics.

[griffin]

A preview for MTMTE #50 has been released as well.

[griffin]

Out next week should be Transformers #51 and Transformers Volume 8 TPB, plus a one-shot "what if" comic called Deviations, which has a description that suggests it is set in the 1986 movie universe (for the anniversary this year).

[griffin]

Previews are now out of Transformers #51 and Deviations, which is indeed a what-if story that plays out the 1986 Movie if Hot Rod didn't interfere in the Optimus & Megatron fight.

when is the next sins of the wreckers issue due?

[tinyJazz]

Sins has been delayed til April due to Nick Roche having a 'family thing'.
