By way of Midtown comics we now have the solicitations for the IDW Comics being published in October! October seems to be an unofficial Orion Pax month, with the Autobot formerly known as Optimus Prime figuring into the plot of both More than Meets the Eye and Robots in Disguise. Plus we have Regeneration 1 #84 coming – carrying on the epic saga of Generation 1 from the 1980s! – and trades of Transformers Classics Volume 4 and More than Meets the Eye Volume 2.
Read on for the full solicitation details.

LAST STAND! Things go from bad to worse as MEGATRON tightens his remorseless grip on planet Earth. Can the Wreckers save Kup? Can they reach the Ark in time?

All the covers are either gorgeous or creepy in a most amazing way.
I'll catch them in the TPBs.

I wonder if Chromedome is riding Prowl or most likely Groove.

Love the MTMTE covers! SU-WEET!

So there was a "Season 5," a "best of" season where the eps were introduced by Powermaster Optimus Prime and a kid. The video was spliced from TF:TM, some commercials, and some other footage, but had the Season 3 theme song. The video I attached contains the exact scenes from that intro, but the guy put in HD footage where possible. Also, it doesn't have the "Transformers" graphic on top in the first 5-10 seconds. I couldn't find the actual thing on Youtube.

I was all confused as to Chromedome's new look until I realised it was a flashback.

Umm… I'm pretty sure that video is just a bunch of spliced together clips from TF:TM and the Masterforce Intro.

Just a little tingle. But I see what you mean.

Hmm so we're getting flashback issues? Interesting. I'd like to see what Roberts has in store for Chromedome.

Knightdramon
I'm very confused each time by these solicitations as there's no issue numbers.
Next MTMTE is the Justice Division cover [July issue], August is the one with Grimlock…
Where's September? Seems like MTMTE of October is part 2 of a story.

Interesting so Prowl is motorcycle?
ZacWilliam
That Chromedome/Prowl cover is just about the prettiest thing I have ever seen. Ever. I would hang that poster up in a second.
-ZacWilliam, someone PLEASE make a good new Chromedome to go with upcoming Eject. Please?
