Rounding out the new covers seen on PreviewsWorld today are three covers for the upcoming and presumably delayed until October Lost Light #10. This first chapter in "The Mutineers Trilogy" will have a main cover available by Jack Lawrence, being seen here in color for the first time. Additionally, variant covers by Nick Roche and Marcelo Matere will also be available, the latter being a 10-copy Retailer Incentive cover. While covers don't always indicate the events to come, some readers may not be surprised by one of these new covers' depictions of the latest captain of the Lost Light as he deals with another famous Autobot! Check them all out mirrored below, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest news on IDW's Transformers and Hasbro Universe comics.

Okay, I seriously adore that Lawrence cove. Are we up to... 4 now? Season one with Rod, season two with Megs, Swearth and this one?

Also, for anyone (myself included) worried about Thunderclash's moral scrupulousness and whether he'd actually go along with the mutiny? As Scotty highlights, I think cover 2 gives you your answer

All of those covers are great!

Those covers look great especially the group one. I'm just disappointed Bluestreak and Hound would go along with the mutiny. Along with Trailbreaker, they were always the nice bots of the G1 Ark crew.

Of course, as I type this I remember Bluestreak's tech spec motto, "I never met a Decepticon I didn't dislike".

Alex Milne is synonymous with the Lost Light crew, the team of Transformers found in the IDW More than Meets the Eye and Lost Light series. Even Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus is based on his designs. While he left when the book changed its name to Lost Light, James Roberts, the author, has now revealed that Alex Milne will be drawing this team again in Lost Light number 13. After that, he come back at a later date for a longer run on the book.

Here are the tweets from Roberts:

At last it can be revealed! @markerguru makes his Lost Light debut (interiors) with issue #13!

Just for this standalone issue, but he'll be back for a longer run.

Alex Milne is awesome and I am so glad he is returning. I wish we had more of the crew from MTMTE.

So that's #12,13 - unless the listing for #12 was wrong

Sweet! Milne's art is fantastic and it's been my phone wallpaper many times. However I hope this isn't just because of what people (myself included, albeit to a lesser extent) have been saying about Lawrence's art.

I personally can't wait to see Anode and Lug drawn by Milne

No need to wait! They're between Rodimus' right arm and leg, unless Milne didn't draw that cover.

True, but as a part of the story

This ain't G1, there was never an Ark crew in IDW and 95 percent of the Autobots are edgy douche bags so personality means nothing unless their sarcastic or snarky meme spewing or Ratchet.

Ooh, Milne's back, excellent.

I'll actually give this series another shot and start buying it again if they make his return permanent.

Hopefully Slim Jim has realised what's best for the comic now.

Yknow much as in excited for Milne on LL, I think it was really for the best that we switched. Not only have I grown to love Lawrence's art but it's well known that Robert's style of very detailed scripts doesn't gel well with Milne's desire for creative freedom. I don't think for a minute there's any bad blood between the two, but I feel a break can have only been a good thing.
Also agreed windsweeper (though about different characters, riptide I kinda expected but percy?), though in gonna assume that all is not sunshine and rainbows aboard the LL. By these covers thunders clearly ain't too keen, and First Aid almost certainly won't be either- I wonder who else is gonna be on their side when push comes to shove. It might be we have a full fledged mutiny...iny. Mutinutiny? Hmmmm, I don't wanna go for the obvious "mutinception" but nothing else works quite as well :lol:

I'd really like to see him continue to do things other than Lost Light. You can tell he's having alot of fun on Shining Armour

And finally, in our iTunes previews of upcoming IDW Publishing comics today, we have the first three pages of the series featuring the actual ship after which the series itself is titled: Lost Light #10, and the return of Getaway's crew (for three issues at least)! Check it out below, and head back here in a couple of weeks for more.

HOMECOMING! FIRST AID, the Autobots' Chief Medical Officer, returns to the Lost Light to find that everything has changed: the ship is now under the command of the treacherous GETAWAY, half of his closest friends are missing, and—most shocking of all—the crew is actually making progress...

And in one corner, Rook!

Defensor separated at the conclusion of Combiner Wars, when Mirage and the other Protectobots took their shuttle back to the Lost Light.
