Transformers: Tales of The Fallen #2 Preview

Now that you mention it, he does look like a Bayformer Depthcharge on the "A" cover, with the mouth and the wings...

So, Optimus is ok with the unnecessary destruction of human property, and potentially human lives? I find that a bit hard to believe.

Does anyone know who does the art on this?

According to the preview site, a new artist, Carlos Magno. Reminds me of the UK magazine style.

Nice covers. Carlos Magno's cover has an interesting Art Nouveau feel to it. He'd be great for providing cover art for future TF stories that take place in past periods like HoS.

The 5 page preview is a bit disappointing as Sideswipe is seemingly a 1 dimensional revenge character, which we've seen so many times before. Seeing as it's just 5 pages, though, I'd like to see what the rest of the issue does with the character.

yeah i was thinking that myself.

furman is probably trying to justfiy some of , well lets just say it, nutty things that happend in the film for no reason.

from what ive read he reads alot like grimlock to me, or failing that wolverine which another poster here once thought he'd be like based on the forearm blades.

its suit me. no harm giving him an edge, and hey original G1 sideswipe was meant to be a rule bender anyway so its not a huge leap away.

No reason?

The Autobots were killing all Decepticons on sight.
