IDW has put a flash document on Issuu containing their solicits for November. https://issuu.com/idwpublishing/docs/idw_previewads-november-2016-web For anyone who can't browse it, Seibertron helpfully took some mirror images. It sounds like we're finally getting IDW Quintessons! (outisde of that one who showed up in the -acy series)
Guess the TAAO description kind of spoils that Fort Max and Prowl aren't gonna succeed in stopping Sentinel Prime
I love the MTMTE solicit as well as the cover. They're great! Yeah, I assume the cork-screw shaped craft mentioned in the Optimus Prime solicit is the Quintessons.
Possible Quintessons? Finally! The Mtmte Revolution description is hysterical. Also looking forward to the future Micronauts and Rom issues.
I haven't thought about the Quints! For a long time I wanted for the Transformers to embrace their alien origin and expand the known universe. Usually, it's humans and transformers (although there was an actual alien invasion in Griffin Rock). On the other hand, Earth seems like a really popular place right now: Transformers, Wraiths and now some other entity. J.R. knows how to roll with the flow. The issue also has Nick Roche - so I'm definitely in. And Zombie Titanocalypse. Starscream does not have it easy (and did Rattrap just called him fearless leader?)
I'm a little lost... Is "Optimus Prime" replacing "ex-RiD" as a new ongoing? I know "MtMtE" is being soft-relaunched into "The Lost Light."
You could say that about Transformers itself. Its all (movies, cartoons, video games and comics), playing of nostalgia and selling toys.
Highly relevant to my interests, though I'm rather surprised; thought the Quints were being saved by James for later in Lost Light. Interesting.
