In the June Solicitations for comics being release by IDW Publishing this summer, we had information - but no cover art, see here - about a new Bumblebee live-action spin-off movie prequel comic, courtesy of the minds and hands of John Barber and Andrew Griffith and aimed at a younger audience. Thanks to the Penguin Randomhouse site, we now have both a cover (possibly temporary however), a title (From Cybertron with Love), and more information on the plot of this movie prequel.
Check it out below, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub discussion thread!

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.

Oh cool, IDW might finally get a bit more of my money again cos I've missed the tie-in comics they used to do for the movies. They were my fave modern TF comics. 
heh, Goldfender... that amuses me more than it probably should.

What's sticking out to me, and may just be because he hasn't 'officially' been revealed yet in his new appearance and this is just a placeholder, but the Bee on the cover is TLK, or his 2017 body, as opposed to his new Beetle body. 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.
And yes I know this is silly and doesn't matter, I've seen way more irrelevant discussions on forums like these, don't judge ,me!

This is the internet. You're always being judged by somebody.
I'm judging you for that random comma.

Is it possible that the Bumblebee movie starts off as a prequel and then catches it up to post TLK? Or has it been confirmed it's 100% prequel?

We have another update for the Bumblebee movie prequel comic, which sees the reunion of John Barber and Andrew Griffith, with Priscilla Tramontano on colours, on a movie piece of work, in the form of the actual cover for From Cybertron with Love!
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?

Weird. Is that Bee's actual face in the movie? Half movie/half G1?
14.99? It's more of a graphic novel then?
ah whatever i'm just glad to see a movieverse comic again.

Yup it's got 96 pages so it's a prequel graphic novel. Interesting premise, I guess bee has been majorly distracted from looking for the all spark. Can't blame him from wanting some fun

This cover actually looks pretty cool to me. I may have to take a look at it when it comes out.

We had to take down an image of his actual movie appearance some time ago. It wasn't this face, much closer to his '07 look :/

No interest in reading that Bumblebee comic but the cover would make a nice poster.

He has a mouth.
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.

Other than the fact that Bumblebee has a mouth... which is a bit odd... I really love the look of this comic and will 100% be buying it when it comes out. Hopefully it gives some insight into HotRod's and Bee's friendship. TF5 dropped the ball on that. Fingers crossed for an epic Barricade vs Bee fight!

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
