Blitzwing should be grateful that prime isn't there ;-)

otherwise he would have lost his head/face already.

i still find it extremely jarring to see bumblebee with a human like face and talking. Like my brain can't seem to accept that's the same character I've watched in movies the past decade and have multiple toys of.

I have a feeling that in the final issue, he won't be looking the same ;-)

maybe but it kinda bugs me that they've even done that to him to begin with.

Directly from the direct market source of Previews World, we have two new covers for the next issue of the miniseries introducing the new, upcoming live action movie Transformers Bumblebee - both by Andrew Griffith, as they are the same art with and without colours as the A cover and the incentive cover for issue #4!

Take a look below, with a reminder of the blurb, and join the conversation in the Energon Pub!

(W) John Barber (A/CA) Andrew Griffith
In 1960s England, Bumblebee and his super-spy allies infiltrate the Decepticons' clandestine island headquarters. Is it a trap? Of course it's a trap. But in the high-stakes game of counterintelligence, who's trapping who?
