It would seem as though more details have been leaked by none other than IDW Publishing Editor in Chief Chris Ryall; who has this to say in response to questions from Seibertron's own Grifter Prime:
Q: By the way, not really knowing that I might get an answer, but any BIG Transformer stories or news this year coming up?
A: Biiig things for the TFs this year, yeah, something no one knows about yet.
Q: The dead universe? Or is it the story that goes WAY back in the TF History?
A: Neither one, actually. Although we're also going to do the TF origins this year, too. That one will be called "The Thirteen."
Ryall also preceded to provide this link, which will take you to the "Swear Allegiance" teaser Image that we earlier reported here.
One could assume that the TF Origins series would be referring to the IDW Publishing version of the Original 13, but as yet it cannot yet be confirmed.
You can check out the original thread by clicking here, and don't forget you can discuss all things comics, IDW or otherwise in our Comics Thread.

Wow. 
An origin story of the Original 13. That'll be impressive.
I wonder how it will affect other stories like the Japanese Continuity, or the one about the Quintessons being the creators of the TFs.

Seems that IDW have got the right idea when it comes to timelines and testing the water first.
They have now had the license for just over two years and, after a good pubic reaction to their work (except Megatron origins) have decided to publish their take on the original 13.
Consider how many books Dreamwave had thrown at us by June 2004 (about the same length of time they had been running with TF) We got book after book of stuff, could barely keep up, and yes while it was good to be having so much TF material again, quality was sometimes lacking and they ended up burning out very quickly.
I for one am very excited now given how the whole "ion" title has been handled, an origins story won't detract too much from what we know about the TF but on the other hand nothing we know is truly set in stone with the IDWverse.
I feel it will be one of those stories much like UK:150 that gets referrenced for years to come and becomes a large part of the TF mythos.
Thats just my take on the upcoming story, does anyone have any timelines of release so i can see if i was right???

On that note, I hope to hope for the best!

I'm excited to hear this news! I hope that IDW continues with their winning Transformers series. There really has not been a bum title in the bunch, well Hearts of Steel was pretty bad, but an interesting attempt to add an Elseworlds or What If type title to the brand. Besides, it did introduce us to some really cool designs!
