IDW's November solicitations have been posted, which include the cover image for the final issue of "The Ascending". You can check out the soliciations here, but be foreward that the cover contains a major spoiler for the story that those wishing to avoid such things should steer clear of.

Wow! I who'd have thought that Darth Vader would be Luke Skywalker's father?

Devastation Hot Rod looks pretty darn cool. I'm guessing his altmode looks bitchn'.

"Shocking" cover for Beast Wars now isn't it?

Devastation 3 cover with Roddy sure looks good too. Poor Wheeljack always gets pushed to the back.

My guess is Antagony.

Hmmmm...So the bad guys from Beast Wars Neo, and two Botcon exclusives...interesting. I wonder what role they'll be playing in all this.

I'm not sure, Darth. With a 'toe that big, I'm guessing she turns into a camel.

Antagony you say. All I've ever read about her was her bio listed here. I will be intrested in seeing how this character is portrayed. Thanks.

Also, I like what you did with the whitewash to avoid a spoiler. I squinted for a while to see it, then in quote saw it plain as day.

Now I feel the pride of persistance, and the humility of ignorance. Thats cool how 1 thing can create such a range of though, thanks for that experience

If you had have been able to read this, Darth would've been paying you a visit to see if you had the Profile books as well!

Cyborg Beasts are BW2, not Neo.

The real Neo villains are in #3, hehehe.

I don't have the books, but I can say outside of maybe 20 or so bots, not even, I have just about every Beast Era mold there is.

The repaints I don't chase down unless it's something real good!

But figure wise "Ah, I've nearly completed the whole set" -BW Megatron

But hell, :BANG_HEAD:

as long as it's not 8-|

"The Ultimate Guide" 8-|

I don't care who asks about what books at this point :-$

I was going more for a "the books arent even released yet" kinda thing.

Got to wait until the 26th for Ascending #1 and BW Profile book #1.

DB has been waiting (not so patiently) for the profile books for over a year now. If they do not get released on the 26th I think he might crack.

Dam I dropped the ball on that one! But hey DB, if you want, I'll keep my eyes peeled for you.

If it'll help, why not, and some anticeptic should prevent infection(sorry that was the evil in me).

Still, as far as the books go, I'm just realy getting into them. I wait for TPBs and just sneek peaks at art here(I am a fan) but the specifics get lost on me.

Go to the index in the ultimate guide and look up "Ineptitude in these matters" and you'll see I'm refrenced directly on pages 41, 32, 83, and 19384572981398134. So it must be true

D'oh! My bad, I get them confused for some reason.

I'm digging Hot Rod's Alternators-inspired robot mode.

You're assuming I haven't already cracked about something else.

The cover shows Shockaract, the 2000 Botcon exclusive figure who Simon Furman confirmed a while back to be "the nemesis" menioned in the previous issues summaries. Now, while he revealed that as fact, there are those out there who might have missed it and thus don't want to be let in on the fact that he's on the cover, ipso facto learing a big secret about the story.

News Credits: 49 · by **Scaleface** » Fri Sep 14, 2007 8:30 am

Isn't Shockaract in the first pages of the first issue? Along with one of the Cyborg Beasts. Also, I don't think spoiler tags are necessary in a thread about a spoiler. No one who is avoiding the spoiler should be reading the thread.

Yes, but as with the Simon Furman interview, some people may have missed that, which is why I went to the trouble to keeping it a secret in this instance.

Something you have just ruined, so thanks a bunch for that.

This is a thread about a spoiler dude. Are people reading it who don't want to know the spoiler?

Maybe, maybe not. You can't exactly know something like that with 100% assureness.

News Credits: 49 · by **Scaleface** » Fri Sep 14, 2007 8:35 am

Okay, just to let people know, if you don't want to read a spoiler about something, don't read a thread with the title "*MEGA SPOLER ALERT*" I know spoiler was misspelled, but still.

I just got off from work when I posted that, so you can cut me some slack, OK? *scurries of to edit*

I've written more misspelled words than you can imagine, so don't worry about it. I was joshing, just like you were.

BTW - Can a cover image be a spoiler? Anyone who is going to read the book has to buy it. Unless they buy comics with their eyes closed, they have to see the cover. Besides, seems like half the Dreamwave TF covers had characters on them not even in the book!
