More ponies, more bots, and more magical mayhem as two worlds collide in the return of this hit crossover event!

While using a modified Spacebridge to bring magic to Cybertron, the Decepticons end up unleashing a more powerful evil from Equestria than they ever could’ve imagined—looks like the only way out of this one is to team up!

New partnerships will have to be created—the Seekers and the Wonderbolts, Applejack and Wildwheel, Soundwave and Octavia—in order to recapture the magic of their first meeting and save the day! All of this and more in the second My Little Pony/Transformers crossover!

Retailer Incentive Cover by Livio Ramondelli

Transformers: Halloween Special—SPOTLIGHT
Dan Watters (w) • Beth McGuire-Smith (a) • Nicole Goux (c)
Whispers of a disembodied spark howling alone in the desert are floating around Cybertron. Whispers of Starscream’s loyalty to Megatron’s cause are also floating around. Frustrated and needing some space to clear his head, Starscream visits the desert and is surprised to actually hear the rumored screams. He follows the sound and is met with a creature that makes him question what it means to be a cybernetic being. Starscream faces off with this grotesque experiment in “I Have No Mouth And I Must Starscream,” by Dan Watters (Home Sick Pilots, Lucifer, The Sandman Universe).

Cover B by Andrew Griffith


Retailer Incentive Cover by Sara Pitre-Durocher

Transformers: Shattered Glass #2 (of 5)—Cover A: Alex Milne
Danny Lore (w) • Daniel Khanna (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 #2, Megatron is the only bot who can stop the three Autobot warlords from acquiring information that could reignite the war, but can he forgive his past mistakes and take up the mantle of Deception leader again?

Will you be picking any of these up?

Shout out in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

I'm not sure what's going on actually as Burcham's name is still on the B Cover and no mention is made over a new artist (normally you get some spiel about the other books the artist has worked on etc etc)

As for Shattered Glass though, I just noticed that the cover B and Retailer Incentive Cover have 1 on them (the listing is for issue 2) I need to go back now and see if we've made a mistake or if IDW did.

I just hope the grimlock story lives up to the covers, and we don't see the delays other mini series have had recently.

To answer my own question from earlier, it was IDW who mucked up the covers for Shattered Glass

I'm not 100% if I'm honest, I think it's the one from the current ongoing but it could easily be it's own thing. I've also just realised that Grimlock seems to be based on the design used in Cyberverse, looking at the Missile launchers on his shoulders.
