    Haven't read the interview yet but that cover... what in the world?

    Okay, looking at it a bit more I think I may have it somewhat figured out:
    Cybertronians aren't allowed on Hedonia so Magnus, Rung, Skids and Swerve all choose human avatars of themselves to go instead.

    Still dunno why Verity's there though.

    Examining it at full-size, it looks like
    all of the humans there are holograms, including Verity. There are spots on all of them that look "blurry." And considering that Magnus and "Verity" are both in the same poses, does that mean Magnus' holo-avatar is a Verity look-a-like? That's kind of... odd.

    This is gonna be one weird issue man :lol 

    Also it makes sence for Uncle Magnus to take Verity as an avatar. Which other human can say to have stared Overlord into his oversized freaky lips and lived. She's badass enough to be his avatar :p 

    Love Rewind's camera guy and Swerve is so perfect it's not even funny :lol 

    And Rung you're sexy Victorian beast you are!

    Also incredible read! You must respect these guys weather you like the comic or not they know their stuff when it comes to writing!

    Is it wrong that I now must demand for a HA Rung w/ the Victorian Badass holo-Avatar? Because if so, then screw being right because I want it.

    My bet is on Tailgate! Just listen to his track record dude is waaaaay to perfect for someone as clumsy as him! There's something up with him I'm sure!

    Also HOLY SHIT MAGNUS IS SMILING! Look at that smug happy face in the backgound! Awww :3

    Barber is wrong about one thing though, not everybody likes Swerve. Roberts shoulda used Bluestreak if he wanted a chatterbox. If his reason for not using decent Transformers is that he is planning on killing a bunch of these guys... then I forgive him.

    I've been a fan since 84. Some (though not all) of my favorite characters are from the first two years, but I would LOVE it if IDW killed off every Pre-87 character permanently. I would just laugh so hard imagining your response.


    -ZacWilliam, and then I'd go right on enjoying these AMAZING comics and their awesome, diverse and well written casts of cool Transformers for years to come. :)

    I would at first but considering how that would probalby cause him to do a suicide-bombing on the IDW HQ or die from a heart-attack or a rage induced aneurysm I think we better not do that yet :lol

    Well,
    Magnus with Verity as an avatar is hilariously awesome. I can't wait to see if he acts any differently because of that (You know, the whole idea of liberation/roleplay/how people act differently online).

    Also, not everyone is what they seem? Hmmm.... I've heard Tailgate bandied about as that, but there's also Swerve - except we know he's not quite what he seems. SOMETHING is up with Chromedome though, methinks...

    Really cool interview. I'm really pleased that the Hasbro creative team is totally on board with what they've been proposing/doing. I looooooved seeing the "shades of gray" reference.

    I think that burst of rage/despair will be so epic it'll rival the Second Impact from Evangelion.

    Nice interview! I just wish we heard more about Hasbro's "crazy in a good way" ideas...I am intrigued. :)

    Man, I'm really loving this cover. Can't wait to see what Whirl, Cyclonus, and Tailgate end up looking like.

    Also, the interview was a really good read. I hope we have these two series continue for at least a couple more years.

    Sshhh! Don't give these guys any more bad ideas! Barber's book is shaping up nicely, let's not spoil it with radical suggestions!
