    Default 5 Page Preview of Spotlight Blurr

    Written by Shane McCarthy, (author of AHM) with Casey Coller making a full art debut.

    Preview.

    Set on pre war Cybertron, our first real look from the neutral-Autobot side (since Origins was all Decepticon) of they way things were before the crap hit the fan.

    Yeah you need an up to date Flash player.

    Just in case my link is dodgy, there is another link to it from Ryall's Blog.

    Sorry if this question has been asked before or the answers are elsewhere but I am too sick and tired to search around but are they going to continue the spotlights even though they are apparently done with the "tion" series?

    Yes they are, they are good tie in books that expand new and existing characters.

    Since AHM is meant to be in continuity, These Spotlights are just furthering the back history if the IDW-verse. If/when AHM is discarded or retconned, it'll be interesting to see what happens to AHM based Spotlights, do they become retconned, or mashed into the actual continuity.

    Does that cover with the picture of Blurr running remind anyone of The Flash? Or was that intentional...

    ...Blurr's always been drawn/animated that way since 1986. That's why he's called Blurr - because he moves so fast that he leaves a blurr behind. In G1 toy continuity he can only do so in vehicle mode, but the cartoon and comics transferred the ability to robot mode as well.

    From his G1 tech specs:
    "In vehicular mode, he can travel faster than the speed of sound, leaving a blurred image in his trail."

    From the G1 animation:


    From the G1 comic:

    Yeah, I'm aware of that..

    I merely meant, that the way he was drawn looked remarkably similar to poses I've seen The Flash drawn in... But I guess it's unavoidable considering the fact they both leave a "blur" behind them when they run... Just something I thought was funny

    I just picked this one up and read it today - I enjoyed it quite a lot. The art is nice, a different style to Guidi's and Figueroa's, but still really nice in its own way.

    One thing about Blurr I found strange though, but won't talk about it as I don't want to spoil it.
