Quote:

"(W) James Roberts (A) Alex Milne (CA) Alex Milne, Nick Roche
DINOBOT MONTH! Three years ago, Grimlock disappeared from his prison cell on Garrus 9. Where did he go? What happened to him? One thing's for certain: the leader of the Dinobots is back-and he's itching to settle some scores!"

Quote:

"(W) John Barber (A) Andrew Griffith (CA) Casey Coller, Andrew Griffith
DINOBOT MONTH! Guess who's back on Cybertron? SLAG, SLUDGE, SNARL, and SWOOP-and they're as mad as ever! IRONHIDE leads them deep into the Cybertronian wilderness searching for lost AUTOBOTS... but what they find might be the greatest danger of all!"

Quote:

"(W) James Roberts (A) Jimbo Salgado, Guido Guidi (CA) Tim Seeley, Alex Milne
THE ORIGIN OF THE KNIGHTS OF CYBERTRON! Rodimus and the crew of the Lost Light finally reach Crystal City, home to the mysterious Circle of Light. But what they find waiting for them is going to change everything-and not necessarily for the better!"

Quote:

"(W) Simon Furman (A) Andrew Wildman (CA) Andrew Wildman, Guido Guidi
DINOBOT MONTH! And ex-Dinobot commander GRIMLOCK wishes it wasn't! His quest for a means to restore his ability to change modes takes him to Nebulos-a world off-limits to TRANSFORMERS, where a welcome that's more incendiary than warm awaits him. Plus, KUP and THE WRECKERS find themselves stranded, hunted and in a whole world of pain. Quite literally!"

Quote:

"(W) Michael Higgins, Larry Hama (A) Herb Trimpe & Various (CA) Klaus Scherwinski
The worlds of G.I. JOE and TRANSFORMERS combine in this first volume reprinting the classic crossovers. Contains the 4-issue G.I. JOE and the TRANSFORMERS limited series plus issues #139-142 of A REAL AMERICAN HERO. MEGATRON and COBRA versus the JOEs and the AUTOBOTS, who will come out on top? "

Guessing we'll get the RiD annual in September.

My body is ready.

Is that Metroplex on the MTMTE cover?

ORIO · 05-18-2012, 09:20 PM

That annual cover was the last slide the idw panel teased us with at Botcon

HeroicC300 · 05-18-2012, 09:29 PM

Hmm, here's hoping they pick up Dai Atlas and crew.

Also, Grimlock and the Dinobots!

Funny how it takes Grimlock 21 years to finally find out how to get his transformation ability back... They could have just built him a new body and been done with it.

SPLIT LIP · 05-18-2012, 10:08 PM

God Dammit. They blew Metroplex up. Damn them! Damn them all to hell! Those damn dirty apes!

Can't wait.

Actually Simon Furman wrote a conclusion to this storyline for a UK annual. However, it was ignored when Marvel's G2 comic came out.

Also, damn I hope that isn't Metroplex! The turrets on his head are wrong.

Considering the artists tend to redesign characters every few issues, no reason it isn't Metroplex.

True, the thought did occur to me, I'm just hoping it isn't because in Metroplex's case, he has more or less stuck to his classic design.

Also, Grimlock and the Dinobots! Isn't it hilarious when industrial equipment follows the form follows function design style? Some weird shit that'd make for good Constructicons.
