Once again Simon Furman has updated his blog. In this latest entry Furman talks about finishing Transformers Devastation #3. Here is what Furman posted:

"As promised, here’s the second of this week’s script (w)raps, my rambling disgressions on Transformers Devastation #3. As always, these are teasers rather than spoilers, but boy does it get tougher as a series progresses not to give away crucial plot details. I need to remember that as of yet no one’s even seen #1, and dole out my revelations (hm. Isn’t that the next series?) sparingly. So, what’s going on? Well, this is more a fallout kind of issue, as the tumultuous events of the previous two issues settle into a kind of shellshocked aftermath. Not that the issue is short on action and surprises, quite the opposite. Sixshot does his, er, worst to tie up a loose end in the shape of Ratchet (and Verity and Jimmy), within the Machination’s Florida hub, Hunter is faced with a shocking request (courtesy of Sunstreaker) and Hot Rod and Wheeljack face a twin dilemma, the Headmasters and… well, wait and see. It’s what you might call a ‘crushing’ deadline. Once more ‘doc’ Ratchet finds himself at the sharp end of things, but this time it’s a planet-smashing living weapon he’s facing. No contest, I’m afraid. Oh, and a few more sub-plots bubble along: General Deacon and Senator Holt (from Escalation #2) make a reappearance, the Reapers step up into the limelight and the forces of the Dead Universe make their own moves. All this in 22-pages? What I call a value-for-money issue. It’s out in November! Don’t miss it."

sunstreaker requests hunter to put him out of his misery rather than be bonded with a lowly "hyooman".

NYA!

Damn you september for being three months away!

Considering how busy Furman is, does anyone think we'll see him at Botcon this year?

That's not promising...

He better not kill off Ratchet.

If he does...I'll cry.

SMALLER PICTURES, MORE SUBSTANCE! At least that's what I'm hoping for.

Makes me long for the good old days when nobody remembered the Transformers.

Oops, wrong news item, please ignore the above post.

A year a go, who would have thought we'd have so much tf goodness.
