The Revolution ripple effect continues to shake things up as IDW’s Transformers line will see some changes with the introduction of two new ongoing titles: Transformers: Lost Light and the first-ever ongoing Optimus Prime series.
Transformers: Lost Light will continue the fan-favorite adventures told by More Than Meets the Eye writer James Roberts, joined on art by Jack Lawrence (Doctor Who Adventures). Beginning in December, this new series will take Rodimus and the crew of the starship Lost Light into the farthest reaches of the universe, searching for the long-lost Knights of Cybertron.
Next, John Barber, who recently exited his post as IDW’s Hasbro Group Editor, won’t be straying too far from his IDW roots as he tackles Optimus Prime, the first solo series to star the eponymous Autobot. John will be joined by artist Kei Zama (Scarlett Witch). Optimus Prime has declared Earth to be under his protection—and this November, he’ll have to face the consequences.
All those titles will join the currently running Transformers: Till All Are One, Micronauts, and upcoming ROM, which will each continue on, their storylines now converging with this newly established universe as their backdrop.

I like the MTMTE name change, though it will bring to a close the pronunciation game...
Optimus Prime series? Huh.
New artists? Ok, we'll see.
I guess the Lost Light goes back for the crew? Otherwise, that section is misleading.
Overall, some stuff to look at

What's with Rodimus' new paint job and where's Megatron? At least the art looks very nice and similar. (see here for a better image: http://www.bleedingcool.com/2016/07/21/ ... comic-con/)
Overall, I'm pretty good with stuff post Revolution. I'm looking forward to it. and I agree: I really think the Lost Light shall return for the crew.

So apparently Alex Milne just found out he's not gonna be the primary artist on Lost Light. He found out on Twitter... AWKWARD!

Holy cows people. The amount of hate and disgust spewing out on Twitter right now over Milne going part time and him not even knowing. Even Roberts didn't know Milne didn't know. Geez louise. But at least this wasn't a fault between the 2 but instead a fault somewhere up the ladder, but still a bad situation. Enough so they said night and we'll try this again tomorrow.
And yes, it looks like Optimus is replacing the current ongoing. And I like that we are getting new names for the series.

Reason I'm hesitant is just due to IDW being very open minded with the idea that God and the devil may or may not exist especially with MTMTEs entire over all plot being about proving that a god like mythical groups existing or not.

I have to agree with that.
Then again, IDW has been hinting at Unicron for a little bit now. Bludgeon and Jhiaxus saying "true chaos is coming"; Cyclonus being cut off from mentioning his name in the myth; those theories of Rung being the T-cog or otherwise significant part of Unicron...

MrBlack wrote:Interesting color scheme for Rodimus. I hope those are not mourning colors for a pair of bots that have that color scheme...
Between the title change and the preview of #55, there is certainly a possibility of the Lost Light returning. Although, given the scene is #50 of Getaway using the time portal to look back on the crew, perhaps the ship arrives too late, and Team Rodimus has moved on by that point. The title could be a reference to Team Rodimus' goal: Finding the Lost Light. It seems fairly certain that the group is going to find out some really unsavory things about the Knights, and they may be trying to stop the mutineers from finding the Knights and causing more trouble. Besides, I can't see the mutineers every allowing Megatron back on the ship, so unless he dies or isn't in season 3, I don't see how he's allowed back on the Lost Light.
Maybe they've avoided it directly but since 2012 (debatably earlier) they've been building this up, at least on the Primus end of things. Would be odd to never get resolution of any sort on that, even if only partial.Randomhero wrote:Not sure how I feel about Unicron possibly showing up.
