Running just a smidge late, and not actually being the fault of IDW this time, we have our newest comic solicitations to share with you for March of 2019! These solicitations finally bring us back to a Transformers ongoing, featuring Issues #1 and #2 for the new Transformers series, set before the war on Cybertron. We also get the Go-bots final issue, some trades, and a Synergy project for you to check out.

So without further ado, here we go!

TRANSFORMERS #1 CVR A RODRIGUEZ

Cover coming soon

(W) Brian Ruckley (A) Angel Hernandez, Ron Joseph (CA) Gabriel Rodriguez

A NEW ERA DAWNS! In the infinite universe, there exists a planet like no other: Cybertron! Home to the Transformers, and a thriving hub for inter-stellar commerce, it is a world brimming with organic and constructed diversity. Immense structures line its landscape. Mechanical giants roam across its surface. Starship-sized titans orbit its skies, keeping a constant protective watch above and below. Ancient Transformers merge into its very fabric. Small, mysterious creatures skulk in its shadows. It is a truly amazing realm, long untouched by war, and exuberantly reaching for the stars. This is the Cybertron that Optimus Prime and Megatron vie for in this bold new origin-a world of seemingly endless peace! All that changes when Bumblebee and Windblade take a newly-forged Cybertronian on his first voyage through this world of wonders-they are confronted by the hard reality of the first murder to have occurred on Cybertron in living memory!

I suppose this really leaves no doubt regarding the authorial stance on Cybertronian history. I was honestly worried it would be simply peace for thousands of years, which would have likely proved... boring in a narrative sense. This definitely has left me more enthused for the coming stories.

I do, however, find it interesting that no mention is made of any Decepticon characters, save a brief mention of Megatron. Perhaps this is coincidental, but given the circumstances I could imagine scenarios in which this omission could prove significant. I am beginning to wonder, also, if the murder might be wholly unrelated to the Decepticons. It is certainly what we are meant to assume, but it seems too obvious... Only time will tell, I suppose.

I do like the sound of Prowl and Chromia as a Cop Duo.

It seems close to how the last continuity had its pre war setup, with only the first murder being the different catalyst. It is going to be interesting to see more, will the victim be important, or is the identity irrelevant but the act itself the far bigger issue.
