    I'm hoping that Overlord clears out 50% of these guys. Roberts has been focusing relentlessly on the same characters for over a year now, it's time to see some new faceplates.

    There is a three page preview on iBooks. It's very hard to see what's going on, but there is a brief Prologue story that looks to be set in the distant past. The third page is back to the present.

    Heck yeah! He can chop up Hound, Sunstreaker, Trailbreaker, Hoist, Brawn, Grapple, Powerglide, Cosmos, Gears, Inferno, Huffer, Pipes, Smokescreen, Hell, maybe even Rachet.

    I wouldn't care at this point, IDW uses the majority of the '84 cast so infrequently that they might as well be dead.

    Roberts makes his characters seem more like humans than Transformers, so it's obvious he would rather write about people as opposed to robots. That being said, I think Roberts should replace Swerve and Whirl with Chip Chase and Abdul Fakkadi respectively. This next story arc would be an excellent opportunity to introduce them to the IDW universe.

    Cool...the prologue feels unsettling.
    Some weird looking dude with one eye - doesn't feel like a victim of Empurata, but a guy from a very different, higher order. In my mind he talks like the sniper drones from Fall of Cybertron :lol 

    Mysterious object, linked to the green flash?

    Another reference to 113.

    Chromedome is in Overlord's mind, reliving his memories. Kinda like Bumblebee did with Megatron in TF Prime.

    How do you get the preview on iBooks? I downloaded the sample, but all that's showing up are the covers and some blank pages...

    The white pages are explosions of awesomeness too bright to be visualized correctly.

    I thought it was the glint of perfection from Swerve's smile.

    I think I just clicked on the book and it immediately showed the pages..didn't download the sample. The pages should show up right there, in the same place you would expect screenshots to appear when downloading an app.

    iBooks is being reeeaaally wonky for me. Would anyone mind just uploading the preview via screencapping or something? You would have my infinite thanks!
