(W) Mike Johnson, Mairghread Scott (A) Agustin Padilla (CA) Ken Christiansen
Bridging the story from the Fall of Cybertron video game to the Prime TV show-the DINOBOTS hold the line as CYBERTRON falls! With OPTIMUS PRIME and the Ark long gone, the rest of the population makes their escape from the dying world-but SHOCKWAVE remains behind, continuing his experiments!

Magnus...

Yeah, he's totally going to be in season 3.

The Dinobots look beautiful.

Can't wait to be filled in.

[KUMA-NIN Maximus]

I literally found myself rubbing off a speck of drool from the corner of my mouth. I guess the Dinobots still have that kind of impact on me.

I hope so. And totally agree.

Because they are so evil, they realized that they can do far worse than kill likable Decepticons?

Ha! Slug!

Anyway, this looks good, but I'll wait for the TPB.

[Rodimus Prime]

Slug? SLUG??? WTH?

Other than that, I'm sold. I didn't think iDW would get my money for anything other than ReGen, but this looks so promising it could be a stand-alone series even if it wasn't a TFP tie-in. And I liked both the game and Alex Irvine's books. So bring on the Dinobots! I just hope it doesn't end up like Maximum Dinobots. That was a bit disappointing. But I'm not at all familiar with Johnson's writing, so I don't know. All I know is Furman dropped the ball with MD.

Uh, Sludge, you're supposed to be dead.

Still, can't wait to read it.

Slug? SLUG??? WTH?

Where've you been? He's been "Slug" ever since we first saw his Fall of Cybertron design.

But I'm not at all familiar with Johnson's writing, so I don't know.

Some examples of Mike Johnson's works are the Prime prequel graphic novel (the one about Cliffjumper and Arcee coming to Earth), TF: Prime episode 20 "Partners", and TF: Prime episode 43 "Out of the Past" (which itself was an adaptation of the graphic novel).

Really? I even played the game and for some reason that never registered. Never. Wow. I just always read "Slag" because I was so used to it. Anyway...

I've seen those episodes, they were pretty good. OK, I'm definitely sold on this series. Hopefully I won't be let down.

Yeah, I wanted Sludge dead too. Now Slug and Sludge will be like Laserback and Laserbeak.
