There doesn't appear to be any faction symbols on the bots on the cover of Drift #2.

3rd faction story?

MYoung 23, yes this is a third faction. It was discussed very little in the Spotlight of Drift but all that was mentioned of them was that they are a third faction. All I can say is I will be buying all of them, and yes Blurrz the BB riding Thundercracker must be imitated in toy form!!!! If somebody does this please post pictures. And to be a little off topic, when War for Cybertron drops next week anyone with a 360 hit me up for some matches at gamertag PanzerBatallion.

Actually, it's the opposite of that.

And as for the Mary Sue mini...I think this might be the first time a comic company has solicited a writer for a story, something I thought they never did.

I'm not usually given to hyperbole but that cover for Drift #2 is one of the worst things I've ever seen. If it were something other than Transformers I would be laughing and rolling my eyes at how hard the artists are trying to be Japanese and failing. As it is Transformers it made me just feel ashamed.
