Thanks once again to digital assistant Mariel Romero over at IDW, iTunes now has a three-page preview for the upcoming ReGeneration One issue 97, the second part in the final arc of the series. Check out the images below!

DARK FORCES RISE! JHIAXUS—the mysterious senator who deleted himself from Cybertronian history—is back… but as friend or foe? RODIMUS PRIME is forced to question the motives of Primus himself—does he drag the AUTOBOTS into a war they can’t win… or side with an “enemy” who seeks only one thing: universal order?

I hope Furman decides to ratchet up (pun intended) the action, because it's been 1 disappointment after another for me from ReGen, except for a few good plot points and the mostly cool retro covers. And this coming from a fan who considers Furman's G1 work superior to all others, not to mention having my namesake be the main character for the series. As always, the art is crisp as ever. Now here's hoping for either a multi-issue battle between Rodimus and Jhiaxus, as well as Magnus and Galvatron, or a giant issue #100, just like issue #50 was, even if it was before Furman took over.

I'm wondering if the creatures will end up trying to destroy the cybertronians in the name of Primus or if Primus wants to wipe the slate clean again and is going to coerce the creatures into doing it.

Either way this doesn't bode well.

The issue is out on Wednesday so we should be due a full preview and script wrap today by my reckoning....the impatient child in me wants all the pieces of the puzzle to analyse.

Tomorrow. The IDW embargo for fansites is tomorrow.
