Simon Furman (here) and Guido Guidi (here) have announced that they are teaming up to produce a japanese TF comic strip for that series of books known as "TRANSFORMERS GENERATIONS 2009" published in japan by Million Publishing.
And here yuo can see a sample sketch featuring Mirage.

Sabrblade wrote:Another Henkei manga. Interesting. Hopefully they'll stick with the Henkai color schemes, what with it being a manga and all.
Manga is usually black & white...
Anyway, is this gonna see publication in the US, too, or is it exclusive to Japan?

My vote for the HOF goes to my favorite Transformer, Kup, to the Headmasters (who still need new figures that aren't just the characters without their master components) and to seibertron.com for for being the ultimate TF resource.

I would think it's a japanese only book, since the previous volumes of Generations 2009 were.

Too bad. If that sketch of Mirage and Ironhide is anything to go by, this should turn out good.

And... Furman has promised to publish the full english script on his blog, so that there will be no need for reverse-translation.
