    The colors aren't SG, they're Black Rodimus Convoy.

    Black Rodimus Convoy - Transformers Wiki

    And I for one think Rodimus's new colorscheme is pretty swish. You can never go wrong with black, teal, and purple.

    To sell more toys :) 

    I hope you're still on the book and this is a mix-up!

    I'm more interested on why Nautica has two BFGs, than Rodimus' new paint job.

    Well technically I haven't been told what I'm doing from IDW since John stepped down so I don't know what's going on. So as of right now the last thing I'm working on is the Revolution MTMTE one-shot and then I have nothing after until I'm told I do.

    Someone at MMC is influencing character coloring at IDW to have more deco options for their Calidus figure when it's released.

    Did anyone else frantically check Lawrence's artwork to make sure he's a good fit for the book? I remember some really bad IDW Doctor Who artwork and thought that it might have been him. Luckily it wasn't and Lawrence's art looks great.

    I'm glad I waited for the purple version of the Carry figure.

    I'd say either Stealth Paint like Arcee used to wear, or he's now Punished "Venom" Rodimus and he's out for a spot of meandering obtuse revenge and animal curation.

    ME: I guess the TR design is closer to MTMTE than Classics, it might be a good choi--
    ROBERTS: (folds arms) Rodimus is blue now.
    ME: GOD DAMN IT.

    People who hates MTME Rodimus because its design is not geewun enough will now be hating him even more. They will say that: Look, now with that colors, without knowning its Rodimus, would you guess it's Rodimus?

    I'll simply answer it: I'd guess it's Rodimus at first glance, what with the long shoulders, the pipes on the arms and legs, and the back V-shaped spoilers.

    I'm curious about the colors, but not at all concerned. Maybe Drift finally made Roddy a Spectralist...

    Just window dressing, to me.

    Excited to read the new Optimus ongoing, and of course even more excited to continue reading the adventures of the MTMTE crew in Lost Light!

    I'm glad Milne is still seemingly on board, despite whatever mixup IDW seems to be in. But they should rectify the situation, because it comes across as awkward and somewhat rude.

    As for black and purple Rodimus, I dig it. Different take for sure, but the colors complement each other well. Hopefully MMC will release their Calidus in both colors! :D
