Or Hell maybe she'll be like Father Comstock and might be a leader of a cult of sky racists I don't know at this rate.
Or she manipulates the faith/cult/power to her own ends. IDWverse has not shied away from showing religion under a negative light (e.g. Star Saber), but this would be the first critique of organised faith systems.
And I would love that. A great addition to the complex world-building at hand in the publisher's output since 2005!

And with what looks like a Forge of Solus lookalike in her hands, I'm guessing there'll be more exploring of the recent Barber overseen overlap between Aligned mythology and Guiding Hand.
I am so very stoked.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

It will be predictable if it ends up like that.

TMS: Combiner Wars seems like it might offer more of a chance to examine the Metrotitan Caminus and the culture of his planet, being the only Transformers society (in the IDW continuity) to have developed gender. Or is that the kind of thing that might be left until after the event dust settles?

Note: Male is also a gender.

So... part of the population is female...?

Yes. I worry about your reading and comprehension skills sometimes.

I'm glad IDW is not afraid to evolve and make history go by just how real life does it.

Is this growth in female Cybertronians a bigger deal than I think it is? I know that the Transformers Franchise is pretty sparse of female bots, but I don't feel like this is a big deal (an improvement, definitely).
Anyways...
Dat art work is nice!

Va'al wrote:Comics and geek culture website The Mary Sue was also able to have a chat with IDW writer Mairghread Scott about the upcoming Windblade return with the beginning of Transformers: Combiner Wars - and we've copied a couple of snippets below! Read the full story here, and take a look at some preview art by Sarah Stone, too.TMS: Combiner Wars seems like it might offer more of a chance to examine the Metrotitan Caminus and the culture of his planet, being the only Transformers society (in the IDW continuity) to have developed gender. Or is that the kind of thing that might be left until after the event dust settles?
MS: Combiner Wars is going to be our first real introduction to the planet Caminus (where Windblade is from) and the ‘Bots that live on it. It’s also our first time meeting transformers who are completely unlike the ones from Cybertron. Camiens are proud, devout and desperately in need of help and we see how that affects their dealings with Autobots, Decepticons and Starscream himself.
In fact, we have an exclusive sneak peek at of one of the most important members of Camian society, the Mistress of Flame. The Mistress of Flame is the leader of the only faith on Caminus, The Way of Flame, which worships a female Prime said to be the mother of all Camiens. But fire can be as dangerous as it is helpful and the faith of Caminus burns hotter than any Cybertronian realizes.
[...]
TMS: And finally: Is Windblade combining with anyone in the series? Are we looking at a potential metrotitan combiner (several bots transforming into a single larger bot)?
MS: Now that would be telling. But there will be a brand new combiner in our series. Who it is and how it gets made are things you’ll just have to read to find out.
