Courtesy of iTunes once more, we have another quick preview of a comic due in a couple of weeks (allegedly, February 28th): IDW Publishing's ongoing series Transformers: Lost Light #15! Returning to THE SCAVENGERS, Grimlock, Scorponok and more Maximum Dinobots references you can shake a spinal cord at, the opening pages already spoil the ending of the previous chapter, so avoid reading below if you're waiting for the trade!

SECRETS AND LIES! As the Scavengers’ journey reaches its ignoble end, the architect of their downfall puts the fate of half the Cybertronian race in their hands. Only one question remains: Are the worst Decepticons prepared to become the ONLY Decepticons?

I'm pretty sure I called it after LL14 came out. Grimlock didn't dismember the Scavengers, Spinster did as part of a ruse to escape. Why else did the focus on him being a surgeon for a few panels? He dismembered them in a way that didn't harm them and could be easily fixed while the guards thought they were all dead and took Grimlock to Scorponok.

Honestly, I think I like the Scavengers story arc the best out of all of them.

Had I made a bet on whether or not Abraham Dante would ever be acknowledged again, then I would have lost money this morning. Got a bit of a Masterforce vibe from that, not anything serious but just a touch and that's a neat concept.

I’ve really enjoyed these last two issues (the end to the Mutineers Trilogy was a bit of a wet fart though). I know it’s been thrown around a lot but these two really felt like MTMTE, to me at least. I will say I was a little worried that the Scavengers were just killed for shock value, especially after what happened to Mirage and the Protectobots. Good to know they’re still alive and ready to kick some ass. And it’s really cool to see Grimlock with his voice back.

Edit: And as someone who’s only read MTMTE/LL it’s interesting to some of the backstory with Grimlock and Scorponok play out. Hasn’t been too hard to follow either. ;)^

He's (Roberts) called back to anything that matters at this point, tbh. It was a Furman story that got hastily tied up so not a super deep well of backstory to worry about! They were rivals, their battle led to Grimlock being taken to Garrus 9 to spare the other Dinobots, Scorponok was also arrested. Ultra Magnus did the arresting. That's basically it!

I believe they also butt heads in Monstrosity or Primacy, one of those series. There’s some references in LL14 to that history I believe

Before the war, Scorponok and Grimlock fought against each other many times in the gladiatorial pits. Then, before Grimlock joined the Autobots officially, Scorponok blew up a fuel refinery on top his head. Around 2007, Scorponok began to mind control the Dynobots into attacking Grimlock, before Magnus showed up and hauled them off to Garrus-9. During the Surge, Scorponok escaped the prison and grabbed Grimlock, who had been implanted with the Magnificence, a device which is omnipotent, and tortured him until he let go.

So Grimlock is rightfully pissed

I think I may switch to doing volumes instead at this point. Kinda annoying to have holes in my collection when it comes to the comics. I'll still order the covers I like but volumes are more durable and easier overall. Of course I'll still read my GF's copies to prevent myself from being spoiled between volumes.

We had clearly not brought you enough comics news on Wednesday, so we have some more today in the form of a variant cover from Alex Milne and Josh Perez for the IDW Publishing Transformers: Lost Light issue #16, via IDW Publishing!

The book is due out next month, and already features the main cover with a lot of Are All Dead vibes, but the variant pushes the concept a little differently, showing Rodimus seeing the ghosts? spirits? avatars? traces? of the characters we know have definitely passed away so far: Trailcutter, Ravage, Ambulon, and Pipes. Check it out below, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

ALL GOOD THINGS…! Rodimus and the Crusadercons have reached their final destination. The trouble is, it’s not Cyberutopia. In fact, it’s not ANYWHERE. But they’d better get used to it, because they’re going to be there until the end of Time…

Is there any indication that after the Unicron event, Optimus Prime and Lost Light will be coming to an end? or the Transformers books will again be rebranded by IDW? --It kind of seems like it, but its just speculation by me at this point.

It is just speculation, indeed. There are a lot of things pointing to something happening, and all creators on Twitter are being vague and hinting and just infuriating from a news perspective (I mean that in the best way!), but yes, just speculation.

Good way to drum up some publicity in the fandom, I suppose? Though the ones talking about it are mostly readers already (which is kinda the whole reason to actually have a reboot). :-?

I figured it will either be a soft reboot like it it was with the beginning of MTMTE or a completely new story with new or seldom-used characters. Either way, I'm guessing the new title will be War For Cybertron, in support of the upcoming toy line starting in 2019.

Based on past tie in efforts I'm wondering if they'll take the time to do a war for Cybertron flashback arc, set before the moment thunderwing screwed everything up. The best thing would be if IDW put this out as a miniseries so other stories didn't have to take a break.

Eh, at this point, I'm willing to wait for actual news from IDW, to be honest. Also given the fact that LL volume 3 ends with #18 (the one announced in latest solicits for May). '[T]he biggest story in the history of the Lost Light' (see blurb for #18) is probably volume 4. I doubt it'd be two issues only. :-?

15 was glorious. I have to admit, the twist involving an infant with a Decepticon logo face tattoo had me rolling my eyes for a few minutes, but it was literally just that. Once I kept going and Scorponok explained what was going on, I found that to make sense and be consistent with this version of the character especially given past unusual events from the Furman era. Felt a bit, thematically, like elements found in Masterforce. Should be fun to see where it goes!

And that last page, my word, that is a masterpiece. The lines, the lighting, the words - that's how you do a cliffhanger!

Unofficial score (someone else is writing the formal review): 113/Fulcrum; would have Khary Payton voice this Grimlock

OK, so Nickel paralysed Scorponok with a Tarn voicemail message. However,
she was very close to the 'phone so she probably heard the message herself. Why wasn't she paralysed too? Tarn might have given her the antidote previously but, if he did, he shouldn't have been so trusting. He was the chief of the Decepticon anti-rebellion forces. He shouldn't have given her the means to neutralise his sonic weapon.
