Okay, this looks really interesting.
flamingunicron
I love the art for these compared to the last few totf.
grimlock1972
interesting seems we get the backstory for the combined mode and perhaps skids and mudflap ice cream truck combo
General Magnus
Wow, seems pretty cool and a explanation why we have bike sisters in the movie.
SmokescreenGT
Looks good. Glad to see an explanation as to how Arcee went from being one bot in the comics to three in the film.
Darth Rodimus
Sound like a fun read!
Vangelus
Hooray, I'm finally jazzed for a movie comic again! Glad to see the Mowry/Milne/Perez trinity at work.
Toxicon
I'm definitely gonna have to read this one.
DecepticonsRule
Wow... this looks VERY interesting.

I'm thinking that perhaps Thundercracker is the guy experimenting with combiner technology, and using Autobots as test subjects. This could be VERY interesting, actually...
TriBlurr
Is Flatline a new Character? Would like to see more of him.
Omega Charge
Really can't wait for this one. Looks good.
DecepticonSpike
I haven't read a movie comic since "Defiance" But I think I'll pick this one up. It seems to answer my one big question about Arcee.
samtastic
This looks pretty cool. Nice art and story set up..... Will pick up if I see it.
blackout501st
who is this "flatline" fool? the only acceptable decepticon doctor is SCALPEL!
just kidding. i like his design alot. and im also glad that thundercracker is getting some spotlight. also, its nice to see the twins. i really am looking forward to this issue.
DecepticonSpike
Is TOTF a series you have to read from the start, or can I pick up this issue and not be lost?

You shouldn't be lost, its basically the regular series Spotlights but in the movieverse.
World Prime
This looks great! I was left wanting more of the sisters after the movie, and I love the combo of Milne's spot-on and highly detailed artwork with Mowry's sharp and intelligent writing.

*obligatory FLATLINE TOY PLZ request*

Okay, now that that's out of the way, looks great. Nice to see Skids & Mudflap get some comic time.

And IDW sure likes to take apart Arcee, don't they?
Onions
OMG, too awesome. Now if only they would release the third bike - Flatout.

Flatline's Earth-mode is a 60s hearse btw. Begin the storm of toy demands to Hasbro post-haste.

According to the article about the comic on Seibertron.com, Chris Mowry created Flatline and gave this basic profile of him:

Quote:
...He's a Decepticon medic, basically their version of Ratchet. While Ratchet may work to save lives, Flatline merely gets his soldiers operational again. Because as I'd like to think of him saying "to cease to serve, is to cease to function."
So I was thinking, his alternate mode would be a dark repaint of Movieverse Ratchet's Hummer H2 Search and Rescue Sport Utility Truck alternate mode or some other kind of ambluance in dark colors.

I never really thought about picking up TOTF,but,DUDE!!!!!Twins-in-a-comic,Arcee-body change,what's-not-to-be-interested-in???
Moy
Very sneaky way to explain ingenious how arcee's form changed, when in reality her form was change completely out of the blue. Thanks to the comics for stories though.
Black Oracle
This looks like it could be the most interesting ToTF issue of all!

And loving Milne's artwork!
SearchmanDS
Yay, a semi-continuation of Reign of Starscream. I always wondered what happened to the characters introduced in it after the comic ended, especially Thundercracker.
MeggyAnimated
is very interesting this TOTF......Arcee changes because Thundercracker kill him.
haha skids & mudflap.........hasbro i need dlx of the twins in cybertronian mode
Voyager Flatline in the future wave of rotf toyline!!!!!
blunghole
I've enjoyed all of the TotF comics so far....just some more than others. I'm really looking forward to this one though. I always wondered how Arcee going from one robot to three would be dealt with.

Him????, dont you mean Her, Arcee is female!!
Tiller
I'm digging Thunder-nipples there on that last panel.

But hey, at least they figured out how to represent the old Arcee toy and fit it in with the whole mystery behind just what in the hell are the bike sisters.

I was just going to bring that up. Shouldn't the Twins pre-earth forms look more like their ice cream truck forms? But we "may" get to see how they got chopped up into a combiners.

This looks like a good one
Fit For natalie
This comic makes me rather melancholy of the fact Arcee was killed because Michael Bay is a misogynistic asshole.

I hope Hasbro canon can retcon Arcee's death out of continuity, like Ravage's death was forced to be.
eisen
wow. the IDW continuity really has it in for arcee.

was she REALLY killed? We donīt know..Besides we know for sure that the Blue Bike survived at least...
Chopperface
Very interesting. Some solid storytelling, even in the first 5 pages.

I'm guessing Arcee, the Twins, and Sideswipe came to Earth together in one ship? Then again, Sideswipe seemed to have arrived on his own in TotF #2.

Chromia was last seen clearly moving around, so Bay can't prove she's dead. She's probably in the plane of existence Barricade's in.

Chromia was not seen running with ironhide and she was Not during prime ressurection that means she is dead, (skids, mduflap and wheelie were no tseen after that but its cleary that they live THEY BAY FAVS Anyway why would he kill hsi fav autobots?)

In audition, rotf dvd commetnarys the writers say that all 3 sisters Might be dead
NothingHead
That doesn't mean she's dead, it means that she was last seen alive. Commentary isn't canon, only what's onscreen.
Sage o' G-fruit
Looks fantastic! I'll have to pick this one up when it hits stores.

thats ur opinion but for me What the Writers say are canon for me

BUT when tf3 starts filming the AWNSER WILL BE REVELADED if theres no chromia or other bikers Alt modes in set that means the writers were right, they dead

i still think they all dead including chromia cuz for me if she were alive she would be on prime ressurection or al least with ironhdie runing from that explosion,

but tf3 filmnig will finish this mystery
alien
so thats why Arcee become into 3 sis....

Can anyone make those words english?
Aernaroth
Oh, that's a big improvement in art over most of the other movie stuff we've seen.
SPLIT LIP
Skids and Mudflap saying anyone doesn't look right is hilarious. Some really nice art, too. I like their snake-like robot modes.
