Cool, but who's getting slagged by Soundwave?

So, does this take place within the mainline IDWverse?

Yes, one year in the Future!

Curiously drawn with spit in it.

Looks perfect. Can't wait for that.

Cool. Cuz the original bits of info we got made it seem like "a possible future" type story, y'know?

Very nice! It doesn't even need color!

Looks like Frenzy or Rumble, depending on what color he is, and then on who people decide he is based on the color.

I wonder what he did to make Soundwave angry.

I hope it's one of the cassettwins! We haven't seen much of them since the begginings of Megatron Origin. Readers will remember that they didn't want to be cassettified either. I know the boys are back for All Hail, I just want to see how they get to Earth and see under what circumstances they are re-united with Soundwave.

What I DON'T want is for the to just all the sudden be there on Earth, with no back story or explaination as to what they have been up to since Origin. If that happens, please somebody more talanted than me, make a Mosaic to at least unofficially explain.

Now that is nice! I see that we have lost some head details of the reflected bot in the inked version...

Am I the only one who thinks this cover does not need any colour added?

Nope, I'm with you. Thissun I'd buy B&W.

I bet they will make it a dealer incentive for the B&W.

Lookin' good Guido, lookin' good.

My favorite 'Con is one scary guy! Looks great Guido. I'd buy it b&w too.

Nope! It looks fantastic in B&W! But then again, I have always been partial to black-and-white work...Sometimes color works against a piece of fine art!

I'm curious as to how he did this. Is this digital inking, or is Guido really that good with a pen?
