Devastation Hot Rod looks pretty darn cool. I'm guessing his altmode looks bitchn'.

Devastation 3 cover with Roddy sure looks good too. Poor Wheeljack always gets pushed to the back.

Antagony you say. All I've ever read about her was her bio listed here. I will be intrested in seeing how this character is portrayed. Thanks.
Also, I like what you did with the whitewash to avoid a spoiler. I squinted for a while to see it, then in quote saw it plain as day.
Now I feel the pride of persistance, and the humility of ignorance. Thats cool how 1 thing can create such a range of though, thanks for that experience

If you had have been able to read this, Darth would've been paying you a visit to see if you had the Profile books as well!

The real Neo villains are in #3, hehehe.

I don't have the books, but I can say outside of maybe 20 or so bots, not even, I have just about every Beast Era mold there is.
The repaints I don't chase down unless it's something real good!
But figure wise "Ah, I've nearly completed the whole set" -BW Megatron
But hell,

Got to wait until the 26th for Ascending #1 and BW Profile book #1.
DB has been waiting (not so patiently) for the profile books for over a year now. If they do not get released on the 26th I think he might crack.

Dam I dropped the ball on that one! But hey DB, if you want, I'll keep my eyes peeled for you.
If it'll help, why not, and some anticeptic should prevent infection(sorry that was the evil in me).
Still, as far as the books go, I'm just realy getting into them. I wait for TPBs and just sneek peaks at art here(I am a fan) but the specifics get lost on me.
Go to the index in the ultimate guide and look up "Ineptitude in these matters" and you'll see I'm refrenced directly on pages 41, 32, 83, and 19384572981398134. So it must be true

D'oh! My bad, I get them confused for some reason.

You're assuming I haven't already cracked about something else.

The cover shows Shockaract, the 2000 Botcon exclusive figure who Simon Furman confirmed a while back to be "the nemesis" menioned in the previous issues summaries. Now, while he revealed that as fact, there are those out there who might have missed it and thus don't want to be let in on the fact that he's on the cover, ipso facto learing a big secret about the story.

Scaleface wrote:Isn't Shockaract in the first pages of the first issue? Along with one of the Cyborg Beasts.
Yes, but as with the Simon Furman interview, some people may have missed that, which is why I went to the trouble to keeping it a secret in this instance.
Something you have just ruined, so thanks a bunch for that.

Maybe, maybe not. You can't exactly know something like that with 100% assureness.

I just got off from work when I posted that, so you can cut me some slack, OK? *scurries of to edit*

BTW - Can a cover image be a spoiler? Anyone who is going to read the book has to buy it. Unless they buy comics with their eyes closed, they have to see the cover. Besides, seems like half the Dreamwave TF covers had characters on them not even in the book!

Yeah, no problem. It's cool and all. Glad you pointed it out to me, anyways. Otherwise I never would have noticed.

Good idea trying to keep the *ahem* Shocker under wraps, I just didn't consider that much of spoiler considering:
a) "It" appears in issue one.
b) When issue one was previewed everyone mistook "it" for "X" leading to a mass information leak on these very boards to help all those of inquiry divine the true nature of this particular evil.
c) The recent "He Is Coming" also alluded in some minds and aroused interest in this particular "Shocker".
But yes, good idea to try and keep it under wraps, leave some chaste curiousity going around out there.

Yeah, but that's months from now, and by then, it won't really be a spoiler anymore. Of course, it isn't a spoiler to some now, but there are some people who think that way.
Oh, and BTW...

If they do, I'll still have to wait to get them, as I've got school that day, and I've got to go to work right after that, so the earliest I'll be able to get them is Thursday if I'm lucky, Saturday if I'm not.
