From what I gather, final designs for most of the "name" characters are still under wraps to a degree (in spite of any leaks) because of publicity arrangements for the movie. IDW is cleared to use them for the comics themselves, but having covers with too many spoilers out there ahead of time would be a big no-no. The first issue concentrates mainly on establishing a few characters. Reckon it'd confuse the new folk a lot otherwise.

Most of the cues I was talking about are interior art and appearances, though that bulky dark grey 'Con on the second cover reminds me a lot of Barricade.

actually I think prime jazz bb ratchet and ironhide are all there. look under bumblebees legs. and for ratchet it is the red one. looks like concept art of the red ratchet.

Thanks for sharing the prequel. The story is actually getting me interested in the movie. The artists do a pretty good job of taking the movie protoforms and trying to give them a Transformer appearance that we are more familar with.

One question - if the Allspark is full of unyielding energy, then why doesn't it fry Spike when he runs off with it?

While I like the artwork, that image of the crossbow-wielding TF, if it is a crossbow, made me think instantly of Samus Aran and not Transformers. I'm sorry if that comes across as a slur, but to me they resemble more humans in cybersuits than Cybertronians.

I'm willing to accept that's a close-minded view of it, however.

I like that review, well writen and worded. I normaly pass on the comics(I know I shouldn't) so for someonelike me, this was a perfect summation!

I look forward to issue 2.
