TFW2005 member G1Wheeljack was present at the IDW panel at New York Comic Con this past weekend. He reported on some of the announcements from IDW. Click here to see all the details. Highlights are below.

There will be a second Infestation crossover. This one will feature Galvatron.

The Transformers Prime graphic novel will be released as individual issues.

There's a second Transformers: The Dark of the Moon prequel planned.

The next major arc for the Transformers Ongoing series is called "Revenge of the Decepticons" and will feature a redesigned Megatron.

There will be another printing of the Animated Allspark Almanac.

There are four new spotlights in the works.

The comics will tell more about Ironhide and Sunstreaker and there are plans for some other fan favorite bad guys.

See the full post here.

Good to see there's something to look forward to with some spotlights [hopefully all by Roche], nothing else interests me.

Oh ho ho. Looking forward to these! I'm left to pondering what Megatron's redesign will look like...much glee if it's like his Cybertron mode, but I guess time will tell on that front! I'll live whatever the case may be.

One of the spotlights will be by Roche. I heard one will be by Mowry, too, though they wouldn't tell us which characters got spotlights.

Actually there will be three TF3 comics, not including Sector Seven.

* Foundation (a prequel) the origin of the feud between Megatron and Optimus
* Rising storm--the direct prequel and
* the adaptation

The Infestation arc is 2 issues and takes place in Vegas

Su does the art for the Prime comic and they're not expecting much more than the prequel.

I thought it was interesting that of the authors they mentioned? McCarthy was not among them.

Yeah. I guess the cliche factory that's Drift is the last bloody straw for him.

HK, weeabooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Blurry, but I can't wait to see the upcoming arc!
