    Thanks for the links bossbot, looks like the series I don’t want to end is going out with a bang and the series that has only gotten worse due to the Hasblow universe tie ins is going out on a whimper, completely ruined by the “event” releasing concurrently, yet set after it...

    The art for Optimus Prime 23 looks too simple to me... not a lot of detail... almost 2 dimensional in places.

    What happens to all IDW's transformers books, they run over time and get delayed. Hopefully not because of family issues this time.

    I think Unicron #4 comes out this week, and a preview can be seen here.


    (obviously by this point, if you aren't following the story and want to later, don't check out the comic previews at the moment, as there will be spoilers... particularly the fatalities)

    The Gen1 Bumblebee one-shot TPB called "Win if You Dare" was meant to be out this week, but it has been pushed back a month to October 9th.
    Newsarama have still released a preview as if it was still coming out this week, showing that it is not set in any existing story universe, but is closest to the Gen1 cartoon, in terms of characters and setting... except, the retconning of Windblade into this Gen1 Universe, just like how they retconned Drift into the Gen1 one-shot story "I am Optimus Prime" (which was probably more inspired by IDW's Gen1 universe).


    Transformers: Bumblebee—Win If You Dare
    James Asmus (w) • Marcelo Ferreira (a) • Nicoletta Baldari (c)
    Life can feel rough when you aren’t the fastest, or the bravest, or the tallest Autobot, and Bumblebee’s feeling the pressure. When he’s hurt, Bumblebee takes it upon himself to prove his worth to his fellow Autobots. Things get tense as ‘Bee and his new human companion race into action hunting down dangerous foes and a devastating device. It’s ready, set, go in this new exciting ’80s adventure packed filled with laughs and thrills!
    TPB • FC • $9.99 • 72 pages • 6” x 9” • ISBN: 978-1-68405-227-1

    (the title is a line from the immortal song by Stan Bush called Dare)
