Earlier today, Transformers More Than Meets The Eye issue #27 was released. Part 10 of the crossover storyline, Dark Cybertron, may have provided us with our first taste at an upcoming Transformer toy release from Hasbro via fantastic artwork from Alex Milne. Long time fan favorite and female Autobot Arcee debuted a new body in this issue. Her new look is strongly reminiscent of her Generation 1 body, but with a more updated feel and a darker shade of pink/almost red. Is this an indicator of the toy we’ll be seeing in wave 5 this year along with Chromia? Not necessarily. But, with the way IDW’s Dark Cybertron has been working in characters with toys either on the shelves or about to be released, it could be the real deal.
Take it with a huge grain of salt at the moment, but feel free to have fun and speculate on the 2005 Boards.

I recall reading that DC Arcee isn't a representation of her new toy.

Looks cool. Shame it'll probably be not much bigger than a Hot Wheels car, given the trend of cost cutting measures in the plastic.
I'm joking of course.
If the Generations figure is a car, I expect it to be about the size of TF Prime Knockout. Plus with G1 Arcee being a car of sorts, this is closer to a true Generations representation of her.

So RID #29 came out today…And I thought the vehicle mode for Arcee was in interesting choice. Definitely not a motorcycle. Images below with body that was already revealed during dark cybertron next to it.
Curious now if this is probably what we are gonna see in the fall when the generations toy releases.

Im a bit confused…in which issue do we read about the defeat of Shockwave?Coz after RID27 and MTMTE 27 we get a 6 month jump
Sockie
He was shown alive in Part 12, with the Decepticons that Galvatron met with.

Quick thread resurrection xD
Is it safe to assume Scoop is dead?

I always figured that Megatron and Galvatron are going to somehow get fused together into like a white/silver Galvatron II and then lead the Decepticons + have the cartoon style crazy because he had two-personalities in himself.
That's what I would've done anyway but what they are doing now is just so much better because it doesn't make us lose one character while also honoring the previous tradition.
Plus I have a soft spot for Galvatron so more Galvatron (PROPER Galvatron with the new body and crown and orange blaster and stuff not just recolour Megatron) is always a good thing for me
Kickback
I just want to say – putting Galvatron in charge of the Decepticons is probably the one thing I've been looking forward to the most. I always hated how they treated his character in the IDW-verse, being his own persona and always being a subject to another bigbad (Nova Prime). To see him now becoming the leader of the Decepticons is an awesome nod to my favorite season of the original Transformers cartoon. Cannot wait.
Loved the finale, thought it was very well written.

Hmmmmmmmm….
Rodimus 'So long everyone, I'm off to continue my quest'
Optimus 'Siddown, bitch, no ones going anywhere until we've sorted the Megatron sitch.'
Paraphrased from the #28 preview.
Prime_Directive
Optimus Prime is Optimus Prime. The vast majority of the Autobots will obey without question regardless of if he's formally in command or not.
Murasame
Optimus can't order anyone around. The war is over.

I figured that the thumb/ore might have contributed to it in some way. Then again he was smiling and stuff before he even gave the thumb back to Metroplex.

It's been a while since I read "Chaos Theory" I need to reread it.

You know in retrospect, at least the fandom seems to be taking autobot megatron way better than the marvel fandom took Frankencastle (the Punisher turned into a frankenstein monster who then ends up helping to protect Marvel's monsters from persecution…. it was awesome and fun but the fandom went completely nuclear)

Don't forget Iron Patriot! And the new Venom!
