Here's the highlights, visit CBR for the full writeup and additional artwork.
The CHAOS storyline will introduce a character that is being called a "Deceptigod". IDW editor John Barber describes the character as, "the ultimate version of [Transformers 'Combiners'] with all the Sweeps, all the Decepticons forming together into one enormous Transformer".
The previously announced one-shot Transformers #125, which would celebrate 125 issues of IDW continuity, has been officially renamed "The Death Optimus Prime". The issue was renamed to avoid unnecessary confusion. It will be co-written by Barber and Roberts with art by Roche. The two covers by Roche and Ramondelli were also revealed. The Roche cover has Optimus Prime opening the Matrix to reveal Cybertron. The Ramondelli cover is a tribute to Bill Sienkewicz's cover to Marvel's original "Transformers" #1.
Lastly they discuss the post "Death of Optimus Prime" era, in which two new titles will launch. "More Than Meets the Eye", written by Roberts and penciled by Roche, and "Robots in Disquise", written by Barber and penciled by Griffith. No additional information on these titles other than Barber and Roberts will be working closely with one another. This era will also introduce an third non-aligned faction of civilian Transformers.
