Fan-favorite Autobot Bumblebee is recruited for a top secret mission, and 1960s London won’t know what hit it when this robot in disguise goes undercover.
It’s high-tech, high-octane, high-clearance spy hijinks in From Cybertron with Love.
Some call him Goldfender, but the name’s Bee… Bumblebee. On loan to MI6 and teamed with a human partner, Bee’s trapped in the middle of a Cold War plot to disrupt British Secret Intelligence. But when their base is destroyed from within, it’s up to Bee to discover if there’s a traitor in their midst…and, in the spy world, allegiances can change just as easily as a Cybertronian.
From long-time Transformers writer and British super spy aficionado John Barber (Optimus Prime, Action Man), From Cybertron With Love is the official prequel to the new Bumblebee film, in theaters December 2018.

This is the internet. You're always being judged by somebody.

I'm judging you for that random comma.

If this is a prequel to his movie, set in 1984, they could've at least used his old 74 camaro from the first film or 67 camaro from his AOE high octane body. Either would've been closer in age and the 74 body presumably got new art recently, for the Studio series toy.

The cover is an homage to the theme of the book, and a call back to the pulp-style paperbacks with a noir/crime/spy thriller of past publications - though no artist is currently credited UPDATE: The artist is Sara Pitre Durocher! - and you can check it out below. Will you be picking this up, even if you're not planning on watching the movie in December?

WHY DOES HE HAVE A MOUTH?!
At least he won’t look like that in the movie.
EDIT: that shadowy figure on the right may actually be an Autobot because the one on the left is totally Bee.

You are assuming these films make any sense, haha.
Anyways, we know what this bumblebee will look like and it does look a bit like that. You can all see what he will look like in the film witha quick google search, its the first result that comes up
