It's suppose to be the IDW's version of Transformers. A lot of characters got redesigned by the publisher.

Aaand... I just noticed they drew Bumblebee old style, not the IDW revamp.

It's a lacking rendition of IDW's designs, covered up with some good colouring work. Everyone else is the same size as Prime, Bumblebee looks pregnant, and Prime is actually based on a touched-up Pat Lee pose (Josh found the art... though in fairness to the Marvel art, it's a much, much better version of the swiped pose.)

(What happened to Logan's hips, too?)
Regretting ordering this a bit... especially after seeing the Marvel solicited cover for #2...

At least Prowl looks decent in that one, though.

I'm hoping it's the run-up to Stark getting decapitated in a suitably bloody manner. It's about the only way I'd start reading Marvel regularly again...

The Avengers DO realize the Autobots are the good guys, right? Or is this some kind of twisted 'everything's-turned-on-its-head' alternate universe thingy?

The usual formula of comic book crossovers is "good guys fight each other until they realise they're on the same side, then they fight the bad guys..."
It'd be nice if this one avoided the cliché, but I doubt it'll happen.

For the large picture, Prime's thinking "How'd I get so short?"
In the inset, he ponders "And isn't that guy with the shield s'posed to be dead?"

Well I don't know about you but I want to see that fight. Autobots probably win though. The artworks above average. I think they should have had that guy that did the cover do all of them except for just 2. But this will be a good crossover none the less.

It'll be Doom. And the series is set in Latvernia.
