TRANSFORMERS EVOLUTIONS HEARTS OF STEEL #1
Chuck Dixon (w), Guido Guidi (a&c)
Ever wondered what form your favorite Transformers would take if they existed in
different eras? Wonder no more, as IDW’s new Evolutions line will look at some special
out-of-continuity tales involving the Robots in Disguise. In issue one of the five-part
debut miniseries, “Hearts of Steel,” writer Chuck Dixon and artist Guido Guidi transplant
the ‘bots to the Industrial Revolution, where a charismatic hammer-man named John
Henry discovers that a steam drill is really an alien robot named Bumblebee. Before he
can process this information, the pair are attacked by Decepticons disguised as tanks,
trains and walking engines. Is this all part of a larger scheme by Starscream? And if so,
will the other Autobots arrive in time to stop his nefarious plans?

Simon Furman (w), E.J. Su (a), Su, Guidi, Roche, Scherwinski(c)
The first titanic arc—Infiltration—wraps up in spectacular, no-holds-barred style, as
Megatron sets about—demonstrably—putting his house (on Earth) in order. But, mighty
as he is, has even Megatron got what it takes to curtail the activities of the all-new, hyper-
powered Starscream? Whichever way it goes, the outlook looks distinctly bleak for the
beleaguered earthbound Autobots. Could be that it’s time for Prowl and Co. to roll out
the big guns? FC • 32 pages • $2.99

Thanks for the heads up!

Cybertron Leader Optimus Prime Redeco?! Confirmed then!

 

soundwave dosnt come out til july? I thought it was march/april?

 

^I belive the only new addition to the voyagers for July is Nemesis Breaker. Soundwave should still be due out soon. I think.

 

Diamond is also shipping the Beast Machines DVD in April but that been out since February, their release dates aren't consistant with the earliest sightings for toys at retail.

 

Good times for Transformers comics. I love it.

 

Previews is always behind on most retail toy releases

 

I like the GI Joe/TF cover with Grimlock...

"Psst, Shrapnel, you're facing the wrong direction"

 

Holy crap now I have a new favorite Predaking art. That G.I.Joe/TF crossover cover is so freaking sweet I am gonna get it for sure.

 

already got myself the beast wars grathams Crackers cover its awsome. But it seems that there be alot of very niffty things coming out, hope in before my holiday ends
