IDW Publishing's new Transformers Editor Denton Tipton has continued his opening blaze of Transformery goodness updates on his blog "From the Tip", this time giving us all a preview of what's to come for the 2nd issues cover of "All Hail Megatron".

Denton has posted an image of Guido's rough Sketch for the upcoming cover, also mentioning that he hopes to reveal the fully finished cover at Botcon later this month.

You can check out the sketch over at Denton's Blog, or check it out below:

Woohoo! Soundwave! I'll be eager to see how he plays out in Megatron's rule throughout this series...

It looks like Hardhead to me, or maybe it could be Nightbeat, but I doubt it's Nightbeat since Nightbeat was with Optimus and co. when they abandoned Earth in Devastation #5.

So was Hardhead...

Then who is it? Because the only Autobot on Earth is Hot Rod. Or maybe this is a flashback to an earlier battle before Soundwave's transformation cog was disabled. Who knows, we'll find out soon enough when a colored version is released.

Covers do not always have a relation to the contents of the issue...

It does look like Nightbeat though...

Be great if it turned out Soundwave was in fact a mole planted by Nova, Jhiaxus or whoever to spy on the living Universe's Decepticons...

I'm wondering how we'll see Soundwave re-unite with Ravage and Lazerbeak, and if All Hail #2 will be the issue that happens.

Futhermore, I want to know how Rumble and Frenzy will finally be added to the mix. They were a big deal at the beginning of Origin and we haven't seen much of them since. What have they been up to? They weren't too crazy about being "taped" in the first place. How cool are they still with Megs? We know they will be in All Hail.

Seeing Soundwave just brings up a ton of questions for me as to the cassettes' whereabouts. Also, what about the Chaos Trinity: Second Edition now on Earth? Will Soundwave's goal still be to stop them/take revenge? How is that going to be played in to All Hail.

My fear is that we will be left with a ton of plot holes, never resolved in the four interlocking spotlights.

I'm sure that when Furman picks up the main book again we will get some answers (and plenty more questions), for everything left unanswered at the end of Revelations.

Makes me wonder in which issue of revelations Soundwave will be retrieved in.

Shane McCarthy posted the fully inked version of this on his website recently:

Looks like either Rumble or Frenzy to me.
