Transformers Titans Returns TFcon Chicago/Acme Comics Exclusive Cover Variant | TFcon – America's largest fan-run Transformers convention – Chicago, Illinois
Hmmm...interesting character selection for who made the cover. Definitely a number of characters that are expected to come down the line in later waves but haven't been announced yet (like Blitzwing and Octane). I'm a little disappointed that Alpha Trion didn't make the cut, or at least if he did, I missed him. I was hoping that since he was so prominently featured in the Titans Return promo-comic that came out of SDCC that we would see him show up in some of the earlier waves of the line, and appear on more of the material. Only time will tell I guess.
I don't understand how IDW picks these shit artists to do Transformers. No one has passion any more and the ones that do are working for the bigger companies that actually give a damn about their product...
These are special-event variant covers; IDW is merely approving the artwork, not commissioning it. In this case, it's likely ACME and/or TFCon who selected/paid the artist and paid for the print run.
