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!

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.

so they are just going with the toy design huh? I was hoping for a bit more of an IDW modernized upgrade.

It'll be interesting to see the conversation between Ramjet and Skywarp.

Looks really, really good.
I love Musso lines.

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

Woohooooooooooooooooooooo!

:grin:

Yay, more Skywarp!

Oh, and Ramjet too... I guess that's cool... Sort of...

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.
Re: IDW Spotlight Ramjet Preview Pages (292726)
Posted by Tekka on August 18th, 2007 @ 1:16pm CDT
Of course. It was always going to be badass.

But wait.... they did a spotlight on Kup? :shock:
Re: IDW Spotlight Ramjet Preview Pages (292869)
Posted by waaaaghlord on August 18th, 2007 @ 2:52pm CDT
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.

This looks pretty good. I'llbe looking forward to this as well as Spotlight Prime. I still have to pick up Spotlight Galvatron.

I only have the Shockwave and Kup Spotlight, i want to get all of them though
Re: IDW Spotlight Ramjet Preview Pages (293261)
Posted by Glyph on August 18th, 2007 @ 6:50pm CDT
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...

I really like how Ramjet has a different jet mode then the original 3 seekers
Re: IDW Spotlight Ramjet Preview Pages (293506)
Posted by Cyber-Kun on August 19th, 2007 @ 1:44am CDT
WAit... did that 3rd page show Ramjet's face in alt. mode?

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.

Posted by Judge Deliberata on August 19th, 2007 @ 8:22am CDT
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.
Re: IDW Spotlight Ramjet Preview Pages (293637)
Posted by Bass X0 on August 19th, 2007 @ 9:17am CDT
Blozor, it will be the conversation between Ramjet and Skywarp that will be the focus of the preview pages, not the actual flying itself.

And no, Ramjets face isn't shown on the underneath of his cockpit in that panel. Transformers very rarely does that in fiction (only case I can think of is Energon Ironhide, his face isn't covered up) even if the head is visible on the underneath of the alternate mode. Transformers isn't Gobots.

they should make a Spotlight for the Seekers: Skywarp, Starscream, and Thundercracker :D
that would rock

5 Pages of quality time between Ramjet and Skywarp.

Heading into that hole in the ground at the end for some seeker yaoi.

well, enjoy ladies (and 10% of men)

:lol:

It does look good. I'll be intrigued to see how Ramjet fits into the whole thing.
Re: IDW Spotlight Ramjet Preview Pages (298418)

Personally, I'm not fond of the whole Ramjet schemer thing. Imagine a whole comic devoted to Ramjet when all Dreamwave needed was one page and the classic "Bring it on, you slaggin' cowards!!!"

Will give it a chance but just feel the schemer approach which has been done to death with Starscream, should have at least gone to a more fitting character. Ramjet only has an intelligence of 6 compared to creepy Dirge and the braggard Thrust both of whom have an intelligence of 8 and even their personality type would seem to better fit the usurper mentality. At least that's my opinion.

Still will get it anyway as I loved the Dreamwave approach to the character along with his snazzy new Classics toy.

Want a Prowl spotlight where he is not depicted as a whiner.
