    Bee is still a Decepticon? I thought his cover was blown like, twice already. And sweet Primus, please don\'t let Swindle anywhere near the enigma of combination again, that never turns out well, ever.
    How is Skywarp not a con? All the other seekers are.
    And why does Windsweeper look like a repainted CW Skydive?

    It's mean more to me if I had ever heard of Twirl. Is she Whirl's sister or something? From the previous continuity? Or a new character?

    Just a random Japanese Mini-Con repaint. She's gained prominence because she's female and pink.

    Completely agree. The funny story is that the artist has been a fan of Transformers their whole lives and was finally given the opportunity to produce a cover for the comics. And this was the low quality effort they could muster.

    He's been trapped outside the universe since the War of the Threefold Spark and only just found his way back due to Jumpstream's teleportation experiment.

    That cover B drawn was by a blind make-a-wish kid with broken hands.

    Worst I\'ve ever seen next to the new Ninjak 1

    Agreed. Out of curiosity I looked up his twitter. He definently has a niche style that works in some places but definitely does not here. A good amount of his tweets are composed of Lloyd begging for work or being irked for recieving "unsoliceted critiques". I couldn't eye-roll harder.

    I can only guess but I'd say the colourist was specifically told not to use the original colours and no one knew or cared that Crashers toy also had a white and blue deco. Why specifically pink. I think we'll actually have to ask the colourist. I'm leaning towards their being no reason.
    If I had to put on my tin foil hat I'd saw IDW know the RI covers bring in orders so they spend the minimum on one of the covers so that stores have to order larger numbers to actually get the covers people want to buy.

    Marvel had Micromasters wrestling. It’s an intentional or unintentional reference to that. And yes, it was goofy back then as well.

    We previously had gladiator pits, fights to the death. At least this won't necessarily end another bot or con's life.
    Also, it's pretty funny. I like it.

    Loved that issue.

    That's a bit of an extreme opinion, don't you think?
