Ramjet has been getting a lot of press time lately. You can check out his World's Smallest Transformers here, and the solicitation by IDW of his very own Spotlight issue here.

Well now we have some preview pages to show you of that very same Spotlight issue. Comic News I.com has gotten their hands on some of the first interior pages of the comic.

You can see the preview here!

Pay attention to the Seibertron.com Comics News for the most recent information on Ramjet and Prime's Spotlights, as well as, any other comic book news.

Sweet art, and yet unexciting for the first five pages...it's a race between he and Skywarp... :(

I hope there is a lot more story to it than that. I know, there is, I was just kind of disappointed by the preview. It didn't get me fired up to buy it. I certainly am not more excited than previously.

Nice, I hope the SpotLight stories start doing more of the B-characters.

I love good one shot stories.

They definitely should continue doing bits on small characters. Some of them are among my favorites, like Red Alert.

If they can take Kup and make it a badass Spotlight, then it shouldn't be too difficult for Ramjet. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and buy it.

Spotlight Kup, a TF storie with zombies.

I'm working on the assumption that these pages will have dialogue along the lines of Ramjet trying to persuade Skywarp to side with him in his coup attempt, something like that.

Interesting that they kept the modified F-15 design as used on his Classics toy, rather than updating him to an F-22 like the original Seekers.

And yeah, this should be better once the dialogue's added. ;) I kept loading the next page and waiting for something to happen. :lol:

Though of course I'll buy it even if it isn't. I'm a sucker for IDW...

Oh yeah, and it was SOO much better than I expected. Get it. I passed it up once or twice before finally shelling out the measly four bucks. Very glad I did.

They certainly are giving spotlights to characters I would never have expected to get that much attention. Kup I'm really surprised at, and I always felt that Ramjet was a bit of a nobody as well.

But that's good, I like the nobodies. I will look into it.

Well, in the Kup Spotlight the poor guy is losing his mind. I like stories when the character is a bit off, and in this story it really works. So far they have what, 8 Spotlights? I am really looking forward to Optimus Prime, and I'll also get this Ramjet one.

Did Josh do the colours? Because they are feaking sweet.

Personally I ma intruiged to know when this is going to slot into the IDW Furmanverse, seeing as Ramjet seems to be fleeing Skywarp...

Summary of the first five pages: WHEEEEE!!! I can draw jets!! From any angle!!

It was cool to see Skywarp warping from so many angles and instances, but Ramjet didn't ram anything yet.

They'd be screwing up a Kup story to not make it badass.

You know, I initially liked the idea of updating the seekers to F-22s, but after seeing Skywarp next to Ramjet, I take it back. IMO, Ramjet just looks better.
