Knowing how poopy things are on Cybertron I can only imagine the Riot Windblade is caught in on her cover started with starscream saying

Aslo the solicits confirm starscream survives....... I like my idea better.

I don't think it's THAT bad, but yeah, it's certainly nowhere near as good as what Sarah Stone delivered.

Actually, I think Nautica's the only gurl in MTMTE

Cool, a new artist on the Transformers comics team. I always enjoy more stylized looks, and it looks like we will be getting more of that.

If Nightbeat dies again, I will revolt too. I like him too much, and they already killed my fav guy (Trailcutter) and turned another of my favs into a bad guy (Brainstorm). And with the amount of Nick Roche party art, we'd better get a dance scene soon!

I love it when Roche does the covers sometimes. Milne has this epic style to show how serious things usually are, then Roche gets behind the wheel and brings out such a laid-back and cartoony style.
