    Looks like a homage to Metropolis to me.

    Arcee has the Matrix of Leadership?

    I have to agree with the majority here on the perspective being wonky.

    The 'running mascara' makes her look like The Crow to me. IMO, IDW should rework Arcee as an effeminate male robot. It's a different approach and would probably cause lots of confusion in the fandom. Which is always good. :) 

    Edit: No, I'm not serious. It's just that Arcee looks like some teenaged emo-boy on that cover...

    Dear IDW,

    Please give Alex Milne a better colorist at least.

    Kind regards,

    Hmm... Kinda loosk like a cross between The Crow and Heath Ledger's Joker... Strange mix...

    I think you'll find that it is just her spark core, and not the Matrix... I'm just impatient to know what exactly they're gonna do with Arcee in this continuity.

    I might actually pick this up, I'm intruiged as to where they're going with this. As for all this 'Arcee sucks!' rubbish, she has far more potential than a perpetually dull and tiresome character like Bumblebee who's been given a thousand times as much exposure and to little effect. It'll be good if the creative crew do make the most of the opportunity they've got here.

    Here's hoping for an Arcee toy to fit. If I'm not mistaken, wasn't there another cover too of her with a sword? Definate must have if she's got twin rapiers to fight with. I can't wait for this! Come on Hasbro, put Arcee in Classics 2.0!

    Man, you have got to WORK to make *PINK* murky, but then, it would hardly be an Alex Milne cover if it wasn't...

    With all of those bright lights some of the shadows on and around the monitors are wierd. Also on the topic of lights the makers of TF comics are really in love with Photoshop's "vivid light" tools. TF comic's make Blade Runner, no, Las Vegas look like the Batcave.

    Glargh, the more I look at this, the more the dreadful colouring stands out. Bright light glowing out of the monitors... and the surface that the light should be striking is... *in shadow*? A light shines out of the middle of Arcee's head, and the area immediately around it is... in shadow? Hello? *What*? Did I miss something and we slipped back in time three years to Dreamwave?

    Definitely something sinister going on, regardless of art opinions.

    Hmm, i'm intrigued what this means for Arcee? Can't wait to find out. They're definitely going with a more 'disturbing' rendition of Arcee in her spotlight.
