Thanks to a tip from TFW2005 member D-Drive we can give you this first look at the Giant Robot Comics retailer incentive cover for Robots in Disguise issue #33. The cover is a companion piece to Giant Robot’s exclusive cover for Transformers Regeneration 1 issue #0 last year. this cover shows the Generation 1 Autobots Optimus Prime, Jazz, Sideswipe, Prowl, Ironhide and Arcee on the MacDonald Bridge leading into Dartmouth, Nova Scotia where Giant Robot Comics are based.

That cover makes me wish there were comic book shops near where I live.

That is a nice cover. There is something good about seeing them in their original forms.

^This.

You guys find a way to complain about everything.
Sockie
Him being on this cover doesn't really spoil anything–we already know from solicits this issue takes place on Cybertron.

Awesome cover!
Special guest appearance by Ironhide!

Kup would have probably been more appropriate as the "old bot" on the cover. At the very least, it wouldn't have spoiled anything and Arcee wouldn't stand out so much as the only 1986 character.
GAUGE
Arcee seems so out of place in that cover.
Without her next-gen Autobot companions, she looks lonely.

what is with Arcee doing a pin up pose? Not that I am complaining, just confused

That's a sweet cover. Made me smile, brought me back to my childhood. Going to use that as the wallpaper on my laptop. I could hear the background music from the original cartoon in my head when I saw it, thanks for posting

This is totally just a G1 nostalgia cover on a modern IDW book. The design cues of Optimus Prime and Arcee in IDW just are not there.

Dare I say, Better than than the first one – and definitely better than the MLP version

Great cover! Love it and want it!
D-Drive
Thanks for all the questions and comments guys. The main reason Ironhide is on the cover is because I like Ironhide. The other reason is something happens in this issue which I don't want to spoil. The two reasons they are not in their IDW bodies is because I picked the bodies your average person would know and like optimalprimus said I wanted it to look great with the last exclusive we did.

#33? I ain't read #1

That's a fun one!

I think it's a homage to G1..
It sort of links up with this cover..
Sockie
No, his current body is an Earth one. It's not the exact same one he had on Cybertron.
That said, I don't think this cover is really going for accuracy to the current comics, given that all of the characters on it are in their classic G1 bodies.
Captain
Exactly. They could have put Cosmos or Jetfire on the cover but they didn't. Ironhide isn't relavant in this story yet. Also, Prowl is in his Cybertronian from right now.
