    Shame about the spotlights. Cuz who knows when I'll get to read Prowl now haha

    P/CP sounds like it could be cool. Did they mention when or if Don would be returning to the ongoing?

    Woo. Nice explosion of good info there. I'm a much bigger fan of the 4part mini series' that I am of the one shot Spotlight comics.

    I have to wonder if Lockdown was a Hasbro-mandate, because this decision is already going "to sell toys".

    Punch/Counterpunch by Nick Roche (both writing and art) would be AWESOME.

    This might be a sign of how bad IDW has been with TF since no one cared to attend.

    As far as I know, it was me and Miraibaby. I was tweeting a few updates and then realized I was the only person in, which made me spazz when I realized my updates had just been...well, spazzing. But I hope this information helps!

    I want to point out again that the image I linked in the first post is NOT the one shown at the panel. It was an actual page out of it, with Lockdown half-crouched over a dark background (night, I'm assuming). It looked a lot like the ROTF, but G1ized, so I doubt there'll be another toy. If there wasn't one made for Animated Cyclonus...they might just tweak the ROTF one slightly and rerelease as classics. Or would that be too quick?

    well that was pretty uninformative

    And that Awesome looking illustration proves what, exactly? I'm sorry, but comparatively, I found Don's art and designs far more exciting than any of the other artists' entries (not that the other artists' work was bad or anything).

    I hope when they say that Don will tone down his style that they're referring to those ugly faces being replaced with more normal looking ones. I like the body designs, but the faces have to improve.

    Everything else sounds pretty cool, especially the appearance of Lockdown and a P/CP mini.

    Possibly the best news out of this con. Wish we knew more about the Wreckers not a Roddy die hard but I find that I don't hate him as much if at all like I did in my teens. Lock down rocks and P/CP is cool hope don does g1 faces and designs like he did in dw ongoing. I will miss spotlights. Wish we knew when springer was comming back.

    Yeah, seriously. I think that alone will substantially increase the sales of this comic.

    I'm going to keep my excitement for the P/CP mini-series in check for now. I need to know who is writing the mini-series first. If Costa is going to be the writer, no thanks.
