Greetings Seibertronians! It's that time of the month again where we look three months ahead to what Transformers comics are hitting the comic book stands in October 2021!

Transformers #36—Cover A: Anna Malkova

“Sea of Rust,” part three! The Autobots are outnumbered and surrounded in Termagax’s base with
Decepticons on one side and the most deadly Cybertronian environment on the other. With an incredibly
powerful artifact on the line—one that could turn the tide of the war in their favor—can the Autobots
withstand the siege?

“Thicker Skin”. The Predacons begin their hunt for other fallen protoform pods, containing potential
reinforcements in their quest to crush the Maximals. But Skold, the Predacon powerhouse, is left behind
because she’ll slow the mission down, at least according to Terrorsaur. When Skold encounters a pod on
her own, it’ll be up to her to bring it to the Predacon’s side... or put it down for good.

Celebrate 25 years of Beast Wars! The Maximals and the Predacons are back in this all-new series.

disguise!" With this one line a whole new generation of Transformers toys and fans was created. Now, 25
years later, an all-new series brings your favorite characters back!
In the future, the planet Cybertron belongs to the scientific-minded Maximals and the action-oriented
Predacons! When a crew of Predacons, led by the successor to the Megatron name, steals a golden disk
and a ship capable of traveling through time, it's up to Optimus Primal and his Maximal crew—Rattrap,
Rhinox, Cheetor, and new character Nyx—to catch them! Collects issues #1–6, Savage Landing!

Transformers: Shattered Glass #3 (of 5)—Cover A: Alex Milne
Danny Lore (w) • Guido Guidi (a) • Alex Milne (c)
Shattered Glass isn’t your average Transformers tale… “Shards” is the story of the ongoing battle
between the power-hungry Autobot autocrats and the freedom-fighting Decepticon laborers. Join author
Danny Lore (James Bond, King in Black: Captain America, Champions) in exploring this fractured
alternate universe just before it shatters.
In issue #3, Starscream seeks out more Decepticons to prevent another war that could destroy Cybertron,
but memories of the past haunt every step. As the Autobots close in, Starscream must decide between
peace for his planet and his former best friend.

MONTH
David Mariotte (w) • Jack Lawrence (a & c)
Out in the Cybertronian colonies, good entertainment is hard to find. Fortunately, there’s always the
Wreckers—brave Cybertronians broadcasting death-defying stunts and action—all as a cover for
undercover operations! When the only event bigger than a new Wreckers broadcast, the Speedia 500, a
race for governmental control of a whole world, is threatened, the Wreckers have a new mission: Save the
most viewed race in the galaxy... without getting caught. Wreck & Rule!

I'm glad to see Minerva get some characterization in Western fiction. Hopefully it leads to her getting a new toy, or a re-release of her G1 toy. That thing is hideously expensive.

Looking at all these covers, that Guidi cover of Shattered Glass is the only gem in the bunch. If more of the comics looked like that, they'd be more enticing to read, even if the stories aren't that good.
