So, the solicits for January's Transformers books have been posted at TFormers - and MOST interesting is the solicit for TF Animated: The Arrival #6: Quote: |
A special standalone tale concludes the first-ever TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED miniseries. The AUTOBOT Elite Guard sets into motion a plan to use a captive STARSCREAM to help create a first: A flying AUTOBOT! But they get much more than they bargained for! Twice as much in fact: witness the debut of JETFIRE and his twin brother JETSTORM!
| Keep in mind that all indications are that this miniseries is canon - the head writer is treating it as canon after all!
And, there's Max. Dinos 2 as well: Quote: |
The action cranks up to fever pitch, as GRIMLOCK and the other Dynobots—SLAG, SLUDGE, SWOOP and SNARL—tear into each other and, in the process, the small town of Fallon, Nevada. As Skywatch desperately tries to contain the widening disaster zone, so SCORPONOK agitates and inflames, ready at last to unleash his Machination Empire on an unsuspecting world. All courtesy of Simon Furman and fan-favorite Nick Roche!
| And of course AHM 7: Quote: |
Tempers flare within the AUTOBOT ranks as the hunt for the traitor continues and the secrets of the Autobot’s defeat are revealed. How did they come to be on CYBERTRON and what caused OPTIMUS PRIME’s devastating injuries? As they seek answers, the real question is, will they survive on Cybertron long enough to find out?
| And FINALLY... the movie prequel. 2 issues solicited:
Defiance #1: Quote: |
The second official prequel to next summer’s TRANSFORMERS movie begins here! In “DEFIANCE,” writer Chris Mowry and artist Dan Khanna tell a tale that delves back to the very origins of CYBERTRON and the beginnings of the war between AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS. This first issue introduces new threats and sets up the reasons for the conflict that leads directly into next summer’s sequel to the smash-hit film!
| Allegiance #2: Quote: |
The official prequel to next summer’s TRANSFORMERS movie continues! The AUTOBOTS and humans team-up for an important mission. When their guard is let down, STARSCREAM returns to settle a score with the DECEPTICON known as WRECKAGE. The ramifications of their battle not only spell the end of Sector Seven, but possibly the life of an AUTOBOT as well. Unknown to the parties on Earth, a mysterious DECEPTICON makes his appearance, and leads the way for a new invasion of our planet!
| There's also several TPBs out that month - Classic Transformers vol. 3, Saga of the Allspark, and some of the DW material. Transformers Comics For January 2009 From IDW - Transformers Toys, News & Reviews - TFormers.com |

This must mean that their creation is set sometime after Starscream escapes in "Fistful of Energon", I guess. Or maybe DURING Starscream's escape, for all we know.
...could they be Allspark clones perchance? Or just copies of his exostructure given Spark? | |

VERY surprised to see Animated Arrival #6, though... I thought their miniseries ended at #5 now?

This isn't the first time they've extended a miniseries (see the UK Dinobots reprints) | |

At least when it comes to normal Cybertronians. http://www.tfwiki.net - I'm a pepper! Wouldn't you like to be a pepper, too?

I wasn't expecting the jet twins to be, essentiall, reformatted Starscream clones. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out in the show, and how Starscream will react to that. Quote:

The description pretty much just says that the autobots tried to reverse engineer Starscream's flying ability. | |

Send the books!
There may be no peace for the wicked, but the righteous can damn well get a piece whenever they feel like it. | |
