We'd like to thank Kathleen Green of Titan Magazines (the publisher of Transformers comics in the UK) for sending us the following info about issue 2.18, which is on sale starting on October 7th.

Check out the latest issue of Transformers Comic for action-packed features, games, puzzles, competitions and lots more! Issue 2.18 also includes "Shadow
War", a fantastic comic story written by Simon Furman and
featuring art from Jon Davis-Hunt. Find out more on the story from the synopsis below and check out the sneak peeks attached!

BUMBLEBEE realising the need for a change of tactics, Optimus Prime gives Bumblebee command of a new Autobot unit that operates behind a veil of stealth, off even official NEST books. Their job is to track rogue
Decepticons and only take action to contain/restrain when they can do so swiftly, safely and without media attention. But holding back, holding
off (especially when human lives are endangered) proves the biggest test of Bumblebee¹s life!

Below are some special sneak peek images. For more information on this comic and all of Titan's offerings, visit their official site at www.titancomicsuk.com. To go directly to the Transformers page, you may click here.

I dont believe it's his actual face but a Menpo (samurai face mask...I could be wrong) although they could have drawn a much better one at that, overall nice representation of ol' bludgie

funny thing is (as far as I can tell) that this comic is UK oriantaited. well why use all the hftd scouts and bludgeon, who were never released here? surely this is aimed at children so they ask there parents to get them then new scouts?

Its like WFC allover again, back of the booklet says that you shoulld go and buy WFC prime and bumblebee, who at the time werent in the UK.....

i seriously hope its a "Menpo"

...and in the one panel looking over primes shoulder it looks like we can see the hollow plastic molding, quite a odd detail there if i may say so
