IDW have sent us a preview of the next part of the Combiner Wars! Transformers #40 hits comic stores this week, along with the third part of the ongoing saga. As the Combiner Wars escalate and gestalts rampage unchecked, where do you turn for protection? Answer: the Protectobots!
Check out the preview attached to this post, along with the retailer incentive and subscription variant covers. And yes, Transformers fans – the reason Blades is so heavily armed for a team all about protection and rescue is somewhat addressed in this issue, in a throwaway line which you can see in this preview.
G1 Warpath
He's actually very dead right now. Y'know, being stabbed and blown up by Arcee along with Triggerhappy.

Issue #11: The End of the Beginning of the World.
Autovolt 127
No I mean why is Prowl going to end joining with Optimus Maximus, especially since he seems to hate everything Prime does these days.
I despised this…I kept reading it wrong most of the time.
Starscream Gaga
Blot was killed by Arcee when she stormed the Decepticon base in RID #11. There's wiggle room, but the dialogue between her and Prowl definitely suggested her attack left him permanently offline, plus his absence in Windblade doesn't make his chances look good.
Atom Magnus
when did Blot die? What issue?
Atom Magnus
why is it hilarious?

Blot is *probably* dead, not confirmed dead like Blip.

The story here is looking VERY promising, and I find that Barber is doing quite a good job of conveying First Aid's character in a manner consistent with how he is in MTMTE. That, and his continuity-wrangling skills continue to impress– I was NOT expecting a Spotlight: Mirage reference!
Yeah, Livio's art is either okay or horrific from panel to panel, as usual, but I've made peace with that. I'm also really wondering how Rook will come into this…funnily enough, I think I spotted him as one of the running bystanders in Mirage's dream, but I really hope that's not the last we see of him.
G1 Warpath
But Blot's dead. And Blip can't take his place either 'cause, y'know, he's kinda busy being killed by the D.J.D. and all that stuff.
omegafix
just read the whole issue, didn't like the style of the whole issue with the bottom boxes on every page. interesting ending
WilyMech
I actually like it the art. Basically it's wtf moment for Mirage, Ironhide, and Sunstreaker moment.
Knightsword
That's an easy one, his body is already formatted to be part of a combiner and if I recall any of the Constructicons and Prowl (and Megatron) can become any part of Devastator now to get around missing Scrapper, but typically stay in configuration they have now.
Autovolt 127
I'm really interested to see how Prowl will end up part of Optimus Maximus.
anyways I'm with everyone else here, I'm sorry Ramondelli but this is just awful.
IaconStargazer
Spotlight: Mirage finally has some meaning? Awesome!
Grimlockimus
Still not a fan of the artwork used in these issues but at least it sounds like some interesting developments will turn up in this issue.
Though I'm still curious how or where Rook will pop up in all of this.
Knightsword
It's Groove as the infiltration specialist, its just a creative description of his scout function.
Achilles1943

TF14

Achilles1943

Soundwinder
Who's the Cop, and who's the Infiltration Specialist in First Aid's little run down? I assume Streetwise and Groove, but Groove specializing in infiltration is news to me.
