I guess I was hoping for some "Scramble City"-style action; But That's not possible with only 1 torso and 3 limbs...

Can't wait to read it!

All the Protectobots and Aerialbots are in the story (although some in just minor roles). Not in a Scramble-City way though.

There are a few other bots in the story too that have had very little "page time" up until now...

WaitWaitWait!!! You're saying that there's no Combiners at all in the IDW continuity? Well why not?!?! Well that just scuffs my skidplate! I must admit that I haven't been keeping up with the IDW Comic stuff, as awesome as it is. But I was completely unaware that there were no combiners in any of the stories. I mean, why not? If Megatron can transform into a handgun for No reason, and Sunstreaker can be cloned and made into a Headmaster, then we can have some Combiners!

...rant over.

Don't think of this as a Mosaic, cause it ain't.

The picture above is a "cover" for an upcoming 22 page webcomic.

and to answer an earlier question, from left to right we have; Hot Spot, Silverbolt, Slingshot & First Aid.

There is no widespread combining technology...YET. It is in a highly experimental stage, the Terrorcons wewe subjected to combiner tech by Jhiaxus and it drove them crazy. Jetfire and the Technobots were ordered to study and try to fix the Terrorcons ...

Actually, it was the Monster Pretenders that had undergone the Gestault experiment. Terrorcons are still stand alone bots.

Yup, my mistake!

Don;t see what all the fuss is about anyways, when in gestalt form all you ever get is "grr smash" and such, having the teams functioning as a team in a War zone but remaining individuals is something new and different. We get story and character!

Actually, if you think about it if combining technology were widespread then every transformer would do it. If it's fairly easy to do then why wouldn't every bot do it. The only reason these bots combined was because the toys did. What IDW has said is that there must be a reason for these things. They've tried to rationalise these things. Otherwise in a battle any given transformer would merge with the next biggest transformer and kick the crap out of each other. And if they don't, you'd end up asking why only a few are combining... The only way to rationalise it is to suggest that the process is not a good one and that the reasons for it must be pretty severe, and the consequences of such an act would outweigh the positive aspects...

The same goes for Headmasters. Why would a robot give up it's own control and its own head voluntarily? It wouldn't and it makes no sense, unless it's forced on them, and it's a loss of control. IDW has also made sense of the Pretender technology (finally).

I've got no problems with the IDW continuity so far, they're not resting on "the established" way things are. I'm not interested in another retelling of events I've already seen. I'm enjoying the twists and the unexpected turns.

As for War Journal, you'll find that the same rationalising of certain aspects occurs, although at it's heart it's a war story. And we've tried to take a snapshot of the decisions that have to get made in war. It's only 22 pages, but we're trying to show how hard a war would really be on these guys.
