I... think it is rather Ongoing #4, judging by the date and the original name of the picture.

Oooooorrrrr... are the humans driving them (in both modes) like a mecha suit??? DUN-DUN-DUUUN!! I ask because Spike is seen getting in to Breakdown and saying how it's like driving a regular car but with better handling... and they already have the Transformer-based, energon-requiring power suits...

Ooooooooh! THAT would be an interesting plot line...

Or... another theory I have is that maybe this might be a lead-in to the Powermasters.

Hear me out, I'm not crazy (much).

Let's say, for arguments sake, that Skywatch ARE driving the captured TFs like mecha armour (or maybe they've reconfigured the captured TFs INTO those powered suits??? ZOMG!!! ), now, Prime's given himself up and is at the mercy of the humans. He's getting reconfigured (or he's being all interogated and stuff) and the earth comes under Quintesson invasion (TF: Continuum mentions Wheelie and the dark cave with Quintesson hieroglyphs like it was important and all ominous-like). Now, to protect the earth from imminent invasion (yet again) Prime undergoes some sort of reconfiguration that combines him with Spike to overcome the short supply of useable Energon. Yeah, it's a stretch but I AM reckoning that the Quitessons are gonna appear in this series and possibly soon.

And I think the issue of the Matrix is going to arise soon too... (an obvious plotline, I know).

I'm also thinking that IDW are going to be using more plot stuff established in the -ation series in the on-going and not ignore it like a lot of AHM did (hence Continuum to catch up those who don't know).
