    B, B, Beast Wars....:drool: 

    Have I mentioned that Mairghread Scott is my favorite IDW TF writer?

    I've been wanting to see more of Needlenose. If I'm still reading notRID by then, I'll be interested in seeing what he's been up to.

    And Megatron at an Autobot cemetery? That's going to be good. More interesting is Rewind and Chromedome. I expect they're going to get a lead on Dominus.

    That Windblade cover makes me happy because more Beast Wars always rocks, but it also makes me sad because Combiner Wars means we won't be seeing any deluxe version of Tigatron/Cheetor (whoever it is).

    So is that Chromedome cover a homage to 2001? :eek: . Man it gets difficult to wait weeks in between issues and August so far away :(

    Eeeee more Beast Wars characters! Fingers crossed for Airazor. She's is like my favourite Transformer of all time.

    Loving the other covers and summaries. And oh ho ho, love and hate is it? I wonder what that means for Tracks and Needlenose. If it is hinting at a past relationship tgen good oh. It sometimes feels like the more 'risky' story elements get put into MTMTE as it's seen as the more progressive book. So it will be nice to see a bit more of that in Not-RiD.

    What's with Bee on that first RID cover? Looks like a strange mix of his Prime and RID designs.

    Awesome stuff.

    Beast Wars integrated into the IDWverse is great news for BW fans. All great in my book.

    Could Windblade be THE series?

    Also Tracks. yeaaaa

    See, now I wasn't going to get invested in the RID15 comic, but then you guys had to go and put Smokescreen on issue 2's cover. Why do you torture me, IDW? Why?!

    And Beast Wars? Yes, please! :D

    BEEEEEAST WAAAAARS! *cue epic rock theme*

    Best news to come from these solicitations! Can't wait to see who pops up there and, possibly, who gets hinted at for a potential new toys. Fingers crossed for that Generations Tigatron.

    Black Arcee looks very oddly-proportioned. Like the artist made her lower chassis a lot tinier or something.

    Yeah, whatever floats anyone's boat. It happens all the time from one medium to another anyway. =)

    Indeed it does.

    Epic stuff potentially.

    The only thing that is getting to grate a tad on me is the whole Chromedome/Rewind thing. There are other characters lol

    The new Tracks/Needlenose dynamic will be a change of pace.

    Also we will have had the Cosmos/Soundwave plot line at that point too.
