And in an entirely different tone direction... It may not be the anticipated Sharkticonado script, but the Optimus Prime annual from IDW Publishing's Transformers comics does see Thundercracker's obvious and not at all hammy scriptwriting talents put to good use (in what is probably set before the end of Till All Are One) to create Starscream: The Movie.

Check out below the sneaky preview from iTunes, and head back in a couple of weeks for more!

THUNDERCRACKER IN: STARSCREAM: THE MOVIE! The good news: somebody finally gave Thundercracker money to make a film. The bad news: it’s Starscream, and he wants a biographical picture to win over the people of Earth. Will Thundercracker stand by his principles or... well, no, he makes the movie.

With Earth having control of one of the few remaining energon sources, it would not surprise me in the slightest if starbucks was selling engex or circuit speeders to corner the new giant robot market in this universe's canon.

Soundwave has become one of my favorite cons thanks to this book, and he and Ravage continue to thrill me. Those 2 are/were great IDW characters

I no longer read the comics but, why does Thundercracker have a different seeker type of body?

All Seekers have gone through some changes, be it personal preference, location (Cybertron vs Earth), or artistic licence that then stuck!

The first of the previews coming to us from a number of comics media sources, for comics due out next week from IDW Publishing is via Newsarama, and featured the next chapter in the ongoing Transformers series Optimus Prime, and the second part of The Falling arc. Check it out below, as Soundwave takes the POV for the issue, and join the Seibertron.com discussion inside!

When Starscream tells you "good luck," you know things must be bad. Check out this preview of next week's Optimus Prime #16.

Ugh I keep saying I need to start reading this comic in addition to the others I read.

Goodbye money, hello books!

I love Thundercracker's face in that last panel, and I can't wait to see how the movie will turn out, it's got a razzie with its name on it...which knowing how Thundercracker's mind works he'll think it's an achievement.
