- Transformers: Ironhide #1
Mike Costa (w) • Casey Coller (a) • Marcelo Matere, Coller (c)
During the Great War on Cybertron, one of the Autobots' fallen heroes was Optimus Prime's best friend-IRONHIDE. What does that have to do with the fate of the planet today? Find out in this all-new miniseries by TRANSFORMERS writer Mike Costa and the phenomenal Casey Coller. You didn't really think his death was just some stunt with no ramifications, did you?
FC • 32 pages • $3.99
Transformers #7
Mike Costa (w) • Don Figueroa (a) • Figueroa, Andrew Wildman (c)
As the dust settles down on Earth, we look to the Heavens to ask a burning question: Where have MEGATRON and the retreating DECEPTICONS been all this time? What have they been up to? The answer, of course, is: nothing good. Take a conspicuously infernal single-issue look into the heart of darkness with Costa and Figueroa.

FC • 32 pages • $3.99
Transformers: Last Stand of the Wreckers #5
Nick Roche, James Roberts (w) • Nick Roche (a) • Trevor Hutchison, Roche (c)
The endgame begins. Their teammates are dead, their mission is in tatters, and all hope is lost. Time has run out for the last of the Wreckers, who confront the maniac responsible for the atrocities of the last 48 hours. Deaths, betrayals and long-promised revelations-truly, this one has it all!
FC • 32 pages • $3.99
Transformers: Nefarious #3
Simon Furman (w) • Carlos Magno (a) • Brian Rood, Magno (c)
Capturing SOUNDWAVE is one thing, holding onto him quite another... as BUMBLEBEE, JOLT, KNOCK OUT and DUNE RUNNER are about to find out! And while the Autobots and Decepticons continue to stumble in the dark, National Security Director Theodore Galloway closes in on the secrets of Project: Nefarious... but his days are numbered!

I am really sick and I hate IRONHIDE. There are other Transformers that you do not hear about any more. Example Grapple, Windcharger, Reflector, Skylynx etc just to name a few. Prime and megatron looking good but NO more Ironhide. I was glad they killed him in the cartoon and I hope Bay Kills him off in the next movie.

I hope my eyes aren't deceiving me and that is actually Megatron with a black helmet. As for the Ironhide I think it should be worth it.

I don't mind more Ironhide. He was always one of my favorite characters in the cartoon and the comic series, and I was deeply saddened to see him killed in the first issue of the ongoing series.

I suspect, much like the reason's we're getting SL: Prowl, that's the reason why we're getting this. Yet another example of IDW's "A-C-B" philosophy of storytelling.

So, they're doing a sort of "Tarantino style" out of sequence story?

IDW's current verse is starting to grow on me... or maybe it's because my favourite character was featured heavily in last month's comics...

Only nowhere near as good.

Yeah, If IDW wanted a good Tarantino type story, they would have gotten Tarantino to write their comic books.
