This month, the spotlight falls on ULTRA MAGNUS, the AUTOBOTS' implacable, upstanding long arm of the (intergalactic) law. But now- in pursuit of his "most wanted" (and elusive) adversary- just how far (outside the law) is MAGNUS willing to go? By Simon Furman (The Transformers: Stormbringer) and Robby Musso. Escalation cover artist Klaus Scherwinski provides a variant cover, too.

Wow, the colors look pretty dang good. Edit: He looks to be based on the G1 Titanium Ultra Magnus as well, kickass.
who's Scherwinski, and why is he drawing transformers cover. I mean, to me, that as of a cover pales in comparison to some of the fan-arts here on this site.
man dont be dissin my boy Klaus he's an amazing artist as is Musso I hope Chris gives him some more work in the future [oh. and here's Klaus' site so you can bask in his awesomeness :3 http://www.klausscherwinski.de/?showme=mixed.php
This looks FRIGGING awesome. *happy* I really, really love it when the spacefaring and society (law enforcement) aspects of TFs get given some focus. And hell-frigging-yes to Swindle's arms dealing getting some forefront, too.
