Oh scrap, we're gonna be focusing on Blast Off?!

Well, he is rendezvousing with someone who guess by the initial "A".

Mairghread Scott confirmed via her Tumblr that Airachnid will be introduced in this issue.

Hopefully she's an actual good villain with effort put in this time around.

I like how they removed the faceplate from Vigilem so he has his old face again.

Also, Airachnid. Argh. She creeped me out very badly in Prime, in a good way mind you, so I'm interested to see how they handle her here. As she appears to be a mnemosurgeon, she has the potential to be even badder

As Starscream faces down the encroaching machinations of Elita One, he enlists Blast Off to help him bring Bruticus back!

Sweet....Solus....Prime.....just when I think the cover to TAAO #8 was mind bogglingly good, Pitre-Durocher goes and does this. I think, bar none, she's the best artist on any of the TF books right now. She, Scott and Lafuente have been the consistently good with the whole book.

Airachnid's getting introduced? Awesome! Airachnid is IMO one of the most creative and legitimately terrifying villains Transformers has ever had (which made me very sad when she was unceremoniously stuck on the moon) and if she gets to appear in IDW, hopefully she'll be wonderfully disturbing.

I just really hope they don't hold back on making her as twisted and evil as she should be. Given the somewhat darker nature of IDW compared to Prime (due to being aimed at older audiences) they could in theory make her a truly horrific character. I don't care how they go about it- go a bit further with the whole "alien big game hunter" thing she had going in the cartoon, make her a cannibalistic murderer, have her as a sadistic robosexual predator (like her Japanese dub version except less "female Pepe le Pew" and more "female Buffalo Bill"), do all three at once...I don't care as long as she's an absolutely abhorrent villain that would send shivers up the spines of the DJD.

Anyway. British IDW fans: Where's the best place to get the trade copies of the IDW comics in the UK? I know there's Comixology but I don't really like digital copies of reading material, and whilst I do have a very good comic shop in my town the only TF stuff they have is individual issues, and I much prefer trades.

Serious, 2nd straight thread I've visited where I have no idea what the hell something means!

this goes right with what I posted. She is creepily terrifying, and then she is a mnemosurgeon here based on the first issue 10 cover. I hope they do her justice

I am gonna spoiler block this just in case I say too much.
As a female Starscream fan, I think this book neatly ties up why he cannot be changed. Many fangirls feel that Starscream can become "good" - and to a degree maybe he can become less bad, but he will never ever be the good guy. Bumblebee here almost represents the goody fangirl who keeps saying, you can do this, you can be good you can absolve your sins for your crimes. With him, he is a war criminal - he knows it. He knows he is incurable - at least not this soon after the war, Maybe in many 10's of thousands of years he m ight come around, but not now.

I will say he loves his world. That's why he will do anything and whatever cost to protect it - sort of killing himself.

Fantastic book. This is MY Starscream.

i can go with that

It's pretty British. In this instant, an exclamation of incredulity.

You learn something new everyday!

that said, to relate to the issue: I am actually excited for the Primes. This is something that has had the build and I am a fan of the 13. And, think about it: Liege Maximo has shown up here now, and Solus is highly respected and praised on Caminus, and we now saw her death. Alpha Trion, Onyx, and Micronus have shown up in OP/RiD, and Nexus died there too. We have some very interesting things going on with the Primes, with some good set up too.

Although, another issue: if Solus died before the war of the primes, how was she able to go to a planet that housed an ore? And the Liege never settled on a planet, which was confirmed, so he couldn't have been on a planet that became a home to an ore. Man, this is like trying to keep up with a soap opera!
