Hasbro press release. Take a look at the images below, from both

dregxx has brought to our attention the
Amazon listing for the third instalment in the Aligned fiction continuity, sequel to Alex Irvine's Exodus and Exiles: the novel Transformers: Retribution. This will be released in January, according to Amazon, with the current pricepoint of $7.99 (plus online discount) and is written by Mark and David J. Williams. Check out the synopsis and cover art below!
For decades, Transformers fans across the globe have marveled at the mighty clashes of Megatron and Optimus Prime, and speculated about their arrival on planet Earth. Now, in Transformers: Retribution, the prequel to the Transformers animated series, the epic odyssey of these two great warriors is finally revealed as Autobots and Decepticons battle one another . . . and the most diabolic foe they’ve ever encountered.
Aboard the Ark, Optimus Prime leads his Autobots through deep space, searching for the AllSpark so vital to their home planet, Cybertron. Megatron’s not far behind, and his Decepticons are itching for war. But a mysterious planet conceals an enemy far more cunning and powerful: the Quintessons. Masters of tyranny, technology, and twisted double crosses, the Quintessons are out to enslave both Autobots and Decepticons. Their deadly bag of tricks includes time travel, fiendish trials, and a secret link all the way back to Cybertron, where Shockwave is wreaking havoc with supercomputer Vector Sigma. In the coming conflagration, Star Seekers, Wreckers, Alpha Trion, and Sharkticons all have their parts to play. For none can dodge the Quintesson juggernaut of evil, and none will escape the cataclysmic life-and-death battles that will catapult Autobots and Decepticons to Earth.

While I was unable to attend in person, the wonderful world of social media (and the eyes and ears of El Duque, who was able to attend) has allowed us to put together a brief outline of the things discussed during the IDW panel that took place at BotCon.
The speakers were John Barber (editor, writer), John-Paul Bove (colourist), Jim Sorenson (writer), Alex Milne (artist), Livio Ramondelli (artist), Andrew Griffith (artist), Mairghread Scott (writer), Michael Kelly (Hasbro publishing), Carlos Guzman (editor).
Beast Hunters
(Scott)
With issue 6, comic and animated series will join up somehow; the mini-series will see story arcs of two issues each, to be more accessible to readers. Scott's soundtrack for issue 1 is Amanda Palmer's
The Killing Type. The next arc will be written by co-author Mike Johnson.
Monstrosity
(Ramondelli)
Not really a reveal for those following the cover updates or have read the digital issues so far, but Trypticon is going to show up. Ramondelli mentioned that he really enjoyed conveying the character's scale in the series.
ReGeneration One
(Bove)
Mostly focused on issue 0: as
previously mentioned, five artists will collaborate on Furman's script for five different stories - Geoff Senior, Jose Delbo, Jeff Anderson, Casey Coller and Nick Roche (who we know for sure will be drawing the Hot Rod section).
More Than Meets The Eye
(Milne)
The story set up so far -
Remain in Light - will continue, ending with #20-#21. Issue 22 will then be more of a summing up of where-we-are-now, and will hint at what's to come (see below).
Fun Fact: Mad doctor Pharma has Mark Hamill's Joker's voice, at least for Alex Milne!
Robots in Disguise
(Barber, Griffith)
Barber states that his inspiration for RID is both realistic and fictional: post-war scenarios in history and George R.R. Martin's
A Song of Ice and Fire/HBO's
Game of Thrones. As we saw in the
preview, #19 focuses on Gorlam Prime, and features Waspinator. Issue 20 will include Rattrap, by the looks of it! Issues 21 and 22 will focus on Shockwave and Soundwave, and set off the big event with
Shockpoint, leading to...
Dark Cybertron
...the big crossover, co-written by James Roberts and John Barber (remember?
The Death of Optimus Prime?). The arc will run for 12 issues, across both titles, starting with a one-shot (Dark Cybertron #1, the Annual substitute for 2013) and then continuing in MTMTE #23. No word on the artistic team, but James Raiz (from DW's
Armada comics and IDW's
Spotlight: Sixshot) was mentioned.
UPDATE: Andrew Griffith has
tweeted what looks like an indication that multiple artists will be working on the story arc.
As suggested by the
Spotlights collected in the
Prelude TPB and the link with recent events, Metroplex and maybe the other Titans will take centre-stage for the story, as well as Shockwave.
Other
Jim Sorenson talked about how he went through selecting stories from all Transformers comics eras, to put together the 30th Anniversary Collection.
Marvel Classics UK and US will both continue, and a book will be released collecting the Art of Transformers Prime.
That's all we could pull out of the Twitter madness!
Come back in a short while for the slides used during the panel, and thanks to
Robbie Robbins from IDW for the panel photo.
