IDW The Transformers #55 Andrew Griffith / Josh Burcham Cover Art

He also said Issue 55 is going to be very special to him. I wonder why

He mentioned on Twitter last week that he's been offered a "great opportunity" and was wondering whether to take it.

I'm still surprised we haven't gotten a Soundwave based on this design. The FoC voyager was close, but some re-tooling could've made him this!

Anyone else a big fan of the comics lately? Just me?

There were rumours of having Soundwave wear the OP/Motormaster CW mold, but with the TR leader class toy coming out, I doubt that'll ever come to fruition. :/

Shame, I really like Barber/Griffith's Soundwave, too.

I've been hoping that was a possibility for a while. Also, you forgot the "u" in "mold" so I added it AND, watched your upload to the Seibertron YouTube for Titans Return at BotCon, nice job!

I like where ex-RID has been heading. All the characters seem very three-dimensional in their motivations, and Galvatron is a great villain. I've really been enjoying the focus on Arcee, as well as watching Optimus Prime head down a pretty dark path.

I'm a big fan of Galvatron, who would've thought he wouldn't like the Enigma of Combination. It's a great tactical advantage but it isn't pure to him. Wow. His one-liner about being worried that Optimus was a "Prime in name only" was nice

Seeing this cover, I thought it was Blackrock/Onyx in full mech form. Is he going by ROM now?

Did I miss something?

That is an incentive variant cover promoting the new ROM the SpaceKnight series from IDW - not an actual crossover (not yet, anyway).

Variant cover to celebrate the new ROM the Spaceknight series. Has nothing to do with the content of the issue.

You see where I'm going though, right? WHAT IF BLACKROCK IS ROM!!

In all seriousness, I'd really rather they didn't. There's a whole bunch of mythology to play around with before forcing a crossover that, right now, really would not work.

I need to find out who this ROM is. Searching the webs.

Apples iTunes has provided us with our next preview, and it is for Transformers 55! The 3 page preview shows off Galvatron beating up some people, Arcee flying in to combat him, and some interesting interaction between some cassettes and Cosmos. Check out the preview and comment below!

If Galvatron kills Astrotrain before he can be reunited with his true love Blitzwing I swear to fuck
