Chris Ryall, the publisher/editor-in-chief of IDW Publishing has posted a new cover for the upcoming Arcee spotlight. The cover is by Alex Milne and Josh Perez.

A bit shocking but great!

So, who else thinks that arcee is going to be a complete psycho?

poor girl.

Welp. Theres the answer to whats under her chest plate for some folks!

It is just me, or is that thing just a tiny bit reminiscent of the Matrix?

Her mascara is bleeding. Pretty scary looking. Either that is the Matrix & she's gone insane w/power like Scourge, or her spark is nuts. Either way, Arcee is having issues here.....

I prefer the original cover, but this cover does a great job of making it appear as though Arcee will be one tortured spark out for some vengeance...

i think she's suffering from P.M.T.
Post Massacitic Tension!
i concur that the other cover was much nicer

Makes me think of a very weird cross between SHODAN from System Shock and the Lady of Pain from the D&D Planescape setting.

It's also way too over-the-top for my tastes. (But then, I have to admit that I find the whole Arcee as Psycho Creation idea uninteresting anyway, based on what info we've been told so far.)

Giger would be proud!

If I thought it was disturbing before, I'm scared shitless now. I'm being reminded of an actual human being dismembered like that and...I feel a wee bit sick...

You stole my joke.

She looks like someone is doing brain surgery on her. Character wise, it looks great, and has pursuaded me to get this issue, but it will be the other cover with the other folks on it. Much nicer looking.

I was gonna buy it..but..if this is what i'm staring at, pass.

This actually makes me want this book more. It's very interesting take on what I thought was a very boring character.

emo.

That looks phenomenal! I was lookin' forward to this anyway and this cover makes me want it more! Nightmarish!

Agreed, emo is whinny not dark. The pansy evolution of goth

To quote a figure I admire, "New package, same product, LOOSERS"

I will say this much though, I use to work with Mike Way and his brother before his band hit. Besides steal, all we ever did was talk about Transformers.

Raw.

I might buy for the cover alone.

Impressive art work... even when it hurts seeing my dear Arcee scrambled

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that the cover with Arcee's face has a striking resembalance to the G2 Decepticon logo, with the ears and the part above her head it fits in nicely.

Coinsidence, insanity on my part or subtle hint of the links to J'hiaxus origins from Marvel??

Now is time for all us to vote for Optimus Prime for PRESIDENT
