I think you mean a confusing month... Arcee versus Constructicons? What does this mean for the Prowl relationship?
Cool the GB makes it into the IDW-verse...(other than in REGEN).

I'm sure some misunderstanding or another is gonna have them at each other's throats for awhile. Arcee is short tempered, the Constructicons are questionably trustworthy at best, Prowl's motivations are cloudy - I can see it working out.

This is part awesome, part stupid, but ALL GENIUS.

Also, I'm pretty sure I need a Tom Scioli commission at some point. I love his style in Transformers vs. G.I. Joe. That comic oozes fun. It's like Jack Kirby drawing my play sessions when I was 8-year-old!

These solicitations are for January of next year, so they won't be on the apps until then, same as the comic stores, Max.

My thoughts exactly this guy was NEVER meant to be a 'Megatron' he will hopefully go by Gigatron or maybe Devil Gigatron as he looks much better in black than white.
I'm so glad IDW are making this great design into a non-Megatron design
...could this lead to other incarnations of Optimus & Megatron being new characters??
G2 Green Megatron could now easily be Megastorm from BW2nd
G2 Purple Megatron could now take on the UK form of Archforce
Armada Megatron could now be the Universe character Megazarak
Personally I think it's easier for the Megatron's as his design has differed considerably over the years whereas Optimus Prime has stayed quite close to his original design.

I sent a tweet to Livio Ramondelli yesterday regarding the MediaFire motion comic Transformers: Punishment...

To be honest, the Punishment motion comic news passed me by but it was only yesterday when I was looking on Livios Deviant Art page I spotted the page of art and note regarding it, so I searched Seibertron for a relevant thread to put this is in after I got the reply back!
Mark it up as further confirmation I guess!
Talking Livio, did the trade paperbacks of Autocracy and Monstrosity contain any extra material not in the seperate comic book?

Yeah--highway closures are delaying both TF #37 and the PUNISHMENT one-shot to next week, I'm told. DRIFT will also be out then.

As annoying as that is for me, thats great support for retailers on IDW's behalf

Thank you.
(IDW has still not made this available to reviewers, though.)
