Hi, just posted this in the General forum too... sorry!

IDW have posted the 5 page preview for Escalation #6 - and oooh yes, this is good! Seems most of us were guessing along (ALbeit obvious) right lines... but they're doing it in an intriguing way... I like!

Enjoy!

Ooh, I'm excited! I need a cup of Lady Grey for this!

When you say guessing along the right lines, what exactly are you referring to?

Without spoiling anything for those who want to read it themselves (But then why would you be on here looking for spoilers lol :-?

) I was referring to the 'out of body experience'... sa-weeeet!

I don't remember anyone saying anything about an out-of-body experience, but I'm intrigued by this none-the-less!

LOL I'm obviously being obtuse... I just seem to recall seeing lots of chatter round here and on the IDW boards that Prime was probably going to 'download' himself to Roller or his trailer and so it has proved... but he's in 'limbo' apparently, and not alone... *cue dramatic music'*

O, I see, I never saw any of those speculations, to be honest. I don't recall any mention of Prime downloading himself into Roller. I only remember people talking about the mystery 'bot at the beginning of issue #5.

Good find, anyway. I'm really enjoying this series. This "not alone" notion is intriguing..

Isn't it just...

The preview looks cool, like always. Any idea when issue 6 is going to be released?

News Credits: 38 · by **Sunstar** » Wed Apr 25, 2007 10:02 am

Starscream in limbo too?

News Credits: 1 · by **Calvatron** » Wed Apr 25, 2007 10:41 am

It'll be out next week on the 2nd. Can't wait for this.

Alright! Bring on #6, then Devastation!

Prime is a sneaky bugger, and I really like Hardhead, he will be another Furman gem I feel.

The biggest shock of the 5 page preview entails Prowl and HotRod, I never would have guessed that little revelation at all.

Dont think I spoiled anything for anyone did I?

If you're talking about what I think you are talking about, then I'll say that to me it sort of feels right, given the treatment of the Rodimus character in all lines/continuities since G1 season 3.

Front paged and credited. Good job.

We're going to merge your other post on the TF General Discussion into this thread, to keep everything nice and clean.

Yay! My First front Paged & Credited

As you can see, long time lurker, first time poster... I got overexcited in my desire to post the preview link and stuck it in general not comics, so thanks for the housekeeping assist!

No worries.

Groovy. This issue really has me interested!

Did anybody else have a hard time reading Prime's internal monologue because of the black on red font?

Yeah, I did too. All the more reason to buy it when it comes out! :grin:

I thought this preview was awesome, exspecialy the revelation about
Hotrod and Prowl. I always thought that Hotrod was a calvalier or just a warrior. It was cool to see them interact I always wondered how Prowl would interact with Hotrod. More, give me more.

I wonder who dies more, Prime or Goku?

Goku. By far.

Half the time I can't remember if he's dead or alive.

The last page of the preview, with Prime's internal repair monologue or whatever it is, is probably the snazziest design for a head trip I've seen in a while. Mad Props to IDW once again.

Also, I think Hot Rod must be guided by destiny...to baby-sit.
