"Buy our toys."

Most likely a cameo ^ I rather have the Beast Wars chars stand on their own and be separate race than this. I think the IDW universe could have both a Cyber organic and cyber inorganic race separate ….not because I like Beast wars it is because I think it was strong enough stand on it own. I having two divergent species from an ancestral species would make sense, I never bought that cyber organic was natural evolution of cybertronian lifeforms.

I think it's fairly obvious that Hasbro had some out-there ideas for toys and convinced/told IDW to include them in their comics. I wouldn't be surprised if Rhinox shows up just because.

Ah, I thought the comics packed in with the upcoming waves are the Variant covers, that's how it was with the preludes, and with Starscream, Scoop, and Skywarp, right? I'm wondering if Cover B was revealed yet, unless that is Cover B, hahah sorry for the misunderstanding.

Found it, looks like they're switching it up a bit, the Incentive cover's are packed in with the new figures, but the subscription variant is packed in with the minicons.

It's a BIG GAME CHANGING EVENT it's meant to stir the pot, create hype for itself, fumble around for months doing either jack shit while going on how SO MUCH IMPORTANT it is or just doing a lot of confusing bullshit controversial stuff to create more hype and publicity for itself until is finally leads up to overall jack shit and we resume where we left off with maybe a character dead here and there (who will come back because comic books) or with a newly introduced character here and there and maybe a few changes to the status que that will be either ignored or retconned in a year when the next BIG MASSIVE GAME CHANGING EVENT happens.
Just like every other comic book crossover ever made. I've danced this dance countless times with Marvel and DC I've learned to shut up and take an event up the ass before I resume with what I actually like.

I mean the main arc stories developed Skids into the nihilist we know an love. There just to many chars to focus on in the 32 page book. I mean I have very little hope that the RatTrap will be developed in this arc I would wait until after the DC occurred. It is like the writers want to do so much and have limited time and space to get the point across.
If you honestly look at development the char that has grown the most is Scoop. That because is critical in getting Starscream to the Titan to get the death wave going.
AS to the point it obvious it is bringing about the Unicorn the Chaos bringer. If I was looking at new series for Transformers as way to bring in new readers but Dark Cybertron not so much. A reader would need the history of this universe that IDW has presented.

None of this makes any sense.
Dark Cybertorn is not the place to broaden character personalities? THEN WHAT'S THE POINT?

Isn't it this one?

Although sometimes preview covers don't end up being exactly what it says on the tin…
All the best

If it is so boring I might use as knock out drug for the dentist appointment next week. Save money on anesthealogy. I am sucker for good art and bad story. I am going say the DC is not the place to broaden character personalities. I agree RatTrap was good in Beastwars and easily grows on you. Waspinator was dropped due to Metalhawk coming alive.
Mechafire
Best thing about DC so far is DAT Roche art and Roberts writing.
Everything else is dull as FUCK. They even managed to make Rattrap boring. HOW
SPLIT LIP
Reread what I said. It's not just that they've changed, that's not in and of itself a problem, but they're the only ones to have not been suplemented with NEW personalities that make up for it. Rattrap is just a generic goon who talks like some sort of barely coherant 50s gangster stooge, Sky-Byte is played serious for whatever reason, and Waspinator…. what even is his personality in RID?
These are generic G1 background characters, these are characters with huge, developed personalities that have had them removed and replaced with nothing.
It's not the fact that they have different personalities, it's that they barely have personalities. Which is why I beg the question of why bother using them if you're not gonna USE them?
Negativedark
They are hardly the first characters in the IDW books that don't act like their past selves. Or the farthest removed.
Toonimator
Yep. The "minicon" bit was a good gag, tho, and appropriate since they're Ammonites, the "Cons" of the Stentarian race. Throwing in "micromasters" would be probably be overkill.

Last page, second frame from the bottom. My god, that's Mister Popo. I now know where the dead universe comes from.
Knightsword
Is it sad that I was hoping for a scene with Brainstorm and Perceptor with them arguing over calling them minicons or micromasters?
Yggdrasil
It's the Minicon pack-in. First 4 issues are wave 1, second 4 issue are wave 2 and final 4 issue are wave 3 so the Minicons are the only ones left.
primushatesyou
Hm, why hasn't the sub cover been revealed yet?
Star Saber
Man, it was nice to see Roche on art again!
That said, I keep forgetting Magnus is no longer the Duly Appointed Enforcer of the Tyrest Accord That line there just cracked me up!
Yggdrasil
Oh wow the colours are much nicer than I originally tought, I like it! Even makes Rojo's art almost not terrible…almost.
It's going to be REALLY fucking awkward to jump in form Nick to Raiz when it comes to Lost Light scenes.

Nail meet head. Cracking spot!
