I'm looking forward to reading this. The art does look a bit... meh, though, but I mainly read it for the story, rather than the art.

Orion Pax previously appeared with the new body he receives in this story in Spotlight: Blurr, published four years prior to this issue. A continuity error arose nearly three years later when Pax appeared in author James Roberts's "Chaos Theory", set earlier than Spotlight: Blurr, with an entirely different body that was not hugely different from his Cybertronian Optimus Prime form as seen in 2006's Stormbringer. This story, taking place between the two, patches that hole, explaining how Pax switching from his "Chaos Theory" body to his Spotlight: Blurr body, and notes his intent to switch back in the near future.

Well, this story takes place after Megatron: Origins and before Autocracy, both set in the IDW continuity.
As far as I know, War for Cybertron is a different continuity altogether, which includes the videogames, novels, toys and tv shows (Prime and Rescue Bots).
This note from TfWiki explains the 'body' issue better than I could:Orion Pax previously appeared with the new body he receives in this story in Spotlight: Blurr, published four years prior to this issue.
