New 5-Page Preview of Transformers Timelines Summer Special

Jetfire repaint!

Whoot!

(looks like a remolded head too)

neat-o!

I'm more excited about the Snarl repaint in the background!

WEIRDWOLF!!!

There also seems to be a green recolor of Cyb. Def. Hotshot.

Thats Springer

Wait, wait, wait. This is coming out to retail stores this month?

...

SCORE!

Just read the 5-page preview. Very cool. Even if we don't see all of these characters as actual figures, its still cool to see them in print. I really want this comic. And, of course, it would be super cool if characters like Springer got a general retail release, maybe as part of Classics. Man, I wish Hasbro would let IDW do an ongoing series set in the Classics continuity. Ah well, here's hoping.

Even if they don't release the figures, it is nice that they give them bodies that resemble previously released toys as a basis for kit-bashers to work upon.

Yea judgeing by the colors it's Sixshot. Although I don't see the head where am I missing it?

It's Darkwing. Or Dreadwind. Whichever.

Also, hypothetically speaking, these could all be additional Botcon Exclusives!

Springer (CD Hotshot)
Elita-1 (Thunderblast)
Huffer (Armorhide)
Weirdwolf (Snarl)

Maybe. If so, they'll most likely be handled in the same way that Tigatron/Airazor/Waspinator/Megatron were done last year.

I want to know who "Tyrannitron" is though? Could this be a Grimlock repaint, or could it be a repaint of the Dinobot minicon?

Nice!

SCORE!

and u dont have to b a club member to buy it

Looks good so far. I just want 2 things:

1) Be set outside of the club comic story.

2) Be a complete story, and not choppy and rushed like the club comics.

Otherwise, bring it on! I love how Bugbite looks in the comic!

not bad, id love to see a repainted hotshot/springer (with new head mold) toy to come out

Nice art, story? It's to smal to read. But if you can buy it at stors I'l be getting it thrue my comic shop Ijust have to wait a nother 3 months. Man I can't wait to read the reat of Escalation and the rest I've been missing.

Nice to see a decent ensemble comic with plenty of characters to try and spot, also a nice touch Prime almost calling Rodimus 'Hot Rod'.

Lets hope we dont have to wait too long to read it if your not a club member...

I'm sure Skywarp's "Good to see you, 'Cracker," line echoes the feelings of everyone who's getting the Botcon set.

I know they have a large cast, but I hope there is at least one scene where we see some non-toy characters. Maybe using other line toys as their models, like Cybertron Smokescreen as Classic Smoakescreen?

Ore, Energon Shockblast as Classic Shockwave, Energon Douwnshift as Classic Wealjack

Looks good, but doesn't it ruin a surprise or two???

I hope that Tyrannitron is not the Grimlock repaint... too obvious, but also expected, since, well, what else are you going to do with that mold?

Monzo/Weirdwolf out of Cyb-Snarl...interesting.

Tyrannitron is Action Master Snarl's partner - you can see him (barely) on the first page of the preview.

It's not. Remember the last page of the last club comic, with Classics Megs meeting Skyfall and Landquake?

Roboto750 wrote:2) Be a complete story, and not choppy and rushed like the club comics.

Can't be too sure about that.

It does? What spoilers are present?

I didn't look at the preview because I want to wait for the book to be released. I'm very excited about this book, hopefully it sells well so we can get future issues in the Clasics universe

Trypticon will probably be a Cybertron Scourge repaint, like the LoC Classics repaint.

If that became a toy, I'd buy it.

i think skywarp was just implying that his nosecone felt like trypticon kicked it, not that trypticon is actually there. But a voyager sized trypticon repaint of scourge is the only way id buy that mold... i never liked it much.... id prefer a massivley oversized grimlock repaint for old trypy anway!!!

He's right you know Snarl is based on his Action Master form in this comic.

Now I am confused again. Reading the preview pages Ultra Mganus mentioned he hasn't been to Earth before, but I thought this was set in the Marvel comics continuity, but ignoring the G2 comics. Magnus came to Earth in the Marvel UK comics. Is this ignoring the Marvel UK comics as well? Because Springer mentions he's been to Earth, and he came to Earth in the UK comics.

good eyes both of you!

Now, if we get these repaints after the movie, I really will be really really happy!
Especially that Sringer and Huffer. They look damn better than the originals...

Oh nice, I want to read this!

Hope I can get this like I did the Beast Wars one. That was fun! This looks great!
