Cant really read the writing on my screen, but this looks like it will be brilliant.

I love how IDW are tying these all in together.

YES!! Soundwave this week! That means I won't have to make a special trip to get it. And the new turtles movie at the end. This is shaping up to be a good week for me. :grin:

Soundwave has always been one of my favs!!! His figure was one of the first ones I got way back in '84!!

Thought Soundwave was great, but the movie prequel wasn't wort the $4, although the cameos in the museum were amusing.

I know I recognized BW Megatron's last fragment of the Golden Disk, a sketch of Cosmos, a chunk of energon (purple crystals), a chunk of those red crystals Megatron tried to lure the Autobots into to kill them in G1, and what looks like the severed hand of a Predacon, specifically, Magmatron. I figure the three-eyed skulls and the diagram behind them must be significant, but I can't place them.

Nice! Looks like the comic series is coming on pretty well!

Damn i still need to find the first one.

Well, my FP today had two copies of Spotlight: Soundwave (both the Marcelo cover) and about the same number of copies of TFTM Preview #1, both the (I think) BB non-wrap cover, plus a pile of Generations that they don't seem to be able to shift. They've been a bit crap for TF comics lately...

I enjoyed the Soundwave spotlight, unimpressed by the Movie preview on a first read. Even with Don on art duty, I found it pretty difficult to tell which character I was supposed to be looking at in any given panel, and TBH the movie designs are still just killing it for me. Don makes them look better than the CGI, but even he can't save them IMO.

Oh yeah, and Simfur.

SPOILERS:

I've read Movie Preview 2 today and for my money it seems to be more interesting than anything I've seen about the actual film. I really like the scenes set at the fin de siecle. They're clothes and facial hair look awfully familiar... I would have liked to have seen more of whoever this group conspiring to cover the truth is. I would quite happily buy another two issues if they focused entirely on these chaps, rather than Bumblebee, etc.

That said, I am still not convinced by Megatron sinking into the ice. Even if his body temperature caused the ground to cave in, I don't believe that he wouldn't have time to transform and escape. In fact, I wasn't convinced that he failed to restrain his reckless abandon when entering Earth's atmosphere in the first place.
