Straight from Newsarama: "So, you think that December’s Transformers Profiles Book I is just your run of the mill encyclopedia in the same format as dozens of other “encyclopedia” books? Wrong. Simply put, the four volumes of Transformers Profiles will officially establish a new continuity for the Transformers, free of key points that were specific to the animated series, the Marvel series, and the movie. When all is said and done, Dreamwave will have its own, independent Transformers continuity." Read the full article HERE to find out all of the details about the Transformers "transformed" history.

You bet! In the new issue of Wizard they report that a new crossover is in the works for 2003. Both publishers ( Dreamwave and Devil´s Due ) will release their own interpretation of the meeting between the 80´s legends. It is said that Dreamwave will release a 3-issue mini-series with art by Don Norton and a writer yet to be determined. While Devil´s Due is expected to release a 48- to 68-page one-shot. These will be in "Elseworlds style format" meaning that they don´t belong in any continuity. This release is tentatively slated for a June 2003 release.
