Thanks to IDW Publishing's Facebook account we have the subscription cover for Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye #26 (Dark Cybertron Chapter 8 ). The cover features Tailgate, who's apparently been hitting the gym. Check out the cover mirrored below:



As you can see it's based on the previously revealed Generations toy design:

Either little Tailgate's not so little anymore... or this is the most misleading case of perspective ever.

[Dead Metal]

See, that's what happens if you have unprotected Spark kickstarts, you can catch all kinds of STD (Spark Transmitted Diseases) like Hefty Badass D.

Oh god, that was bad even for my standards.

[RhA]

He hit the gym and skipped leg day.

[Flashwave]

If I had to guess, I'd say it has more to do with "Artist got Tailgate out of proportion" syndrome

[T-Macksimus]

By about the 3rd or 4th shot of tequila the proportions started looking a lot better to me. Of course, calling up my ex-girlfriend seemed like a good idea too so maybe that's not the best gauge to go by.

For some reason this picture made me think of Hulk Hands.

Comic Vine has posted the retailer incentive cover for Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye #26 (Dark Cybertron Chapter 8 ). The cover by fan favorite Alex Milne features a trio fembots; Windblade, Chromia, and Nautica. Pick up your copy tomorrow.

CYBERTRON FALLS! The monstrous NECROTITAN ravages the world-but is there anyone left to save it? Meanwhile, in deep space, ULTRA MAGNUS and the crew of the LOST LIGHT struggle to make sense of what they find in the depths of the scarlet sea!

It's carnival time!

[Mindmaster]

Windblade is rapidly becoming more and more visually appealing. Let's hope the same will be said about her toy.

[Doubleadam]

Would I be out of line if I said that this cover was......sexy??

[Yweggo]

If the wheel on Chromia's back means what I think it does I'm going to have to pass on her figure when it comes out.


And, no Doubleadam you would not.

[Va'al]

And here I was, going to reveal this with tomorrow's review.. oh well, more for everyone!

[Neurie]

decent issue, the interplay between Nautica, Windblade and the other girl is interesting as are ratchets musing over why they refer to them selves by a female vernacular. much fun

[Blurrz]

Naughtyca is looking like an Arcee repaint

Man, I need to catch up on these comics.

[Mkall]

This is a pretty cool cover. I really hope Nautica will make it as a figure too.

[Bumblevivisector]

I'm still years behind on IDW, and want to avoid spoilers as much as reasonably possible (I mean, I know Waspinator and Rattrap have shown up, just not exactly how) because I will catch up someday, dammit...

...but looking at Nautica's design and color scheme, my curiosity's getting the better of me: is she supposed to be sort of an 'improved' version of Galaxy Force/Cybertron Chromia/Thunderblast? As in, what if Thunderblast had been an actual character instead of a snowball of female stereotypes that gained sentience in the form of a speedboat?

[durroth]

Is there some kind of active disagreement between the designers at hasbro over whether chromia or arcee gets to be a blue motorcycle or was arcee blue in prime just to justify a teenage boy riding her?
