Transformers: Dark Cybertron #1 Cover Revealed

idw has way too many tf comics. but some cool art in there

I think this is the first time we see Rattrap in robot mode. It looks like a toy would have a show accurate design (from BW).

There was speculation about Starscream's new, obviously Armada-based body? We were told back at BotCon that all characters getting toys in the Generations: Thrilling 30 will be featured in Dark Cybertron. It's no surprise that Starscream would be refitted into a new body that is identical to his Armada incarnation.

Nah, his robot mode was shown in issue 20 of Robots in Disguise.



As for a Generations toy, he was not announced at neither BotCon nor SDCC, but it would not surprise me if Hasbro shows off even more Generations: Thrilling 30 at either next year's Toy Fair or BotCon. But I fear that instead we will be shown only the accompanying toys for the fourth film, and no further [i]Generations[/i figures.

Can't wait for this arc!

Whoah that looks good!

I'm hoping Jhiaxus' role might mean we'll see him in some plastic form in the near future, too.

I'd like a nice Jhiaxus as well.

This is looking like it may be a bit flippin' spectacular. I certainly hope so given how much IDW have been hyping it.

Hasbro's main focus is making toys of old characters who've yet to recieve a Classics update. Hot Rod already has his own update, so there's really no need to make one of him (though that would be kinda cool if they did). I could see FunPub doing Hot Rod from the Prime: Robots in Disguise Vehicon as a TFSS exclusive, or something of that nature.
