IDW Titans Return TPB Listing Online

...and this will be my first comic purchase of 2017!

We had already seen some of the variant covers that came with the IDW Publishing Titans Return one-shot comic, but thanks to a nudge from our friends over at Acme Comics in Greensboro, NC, we have another one to show in full, created by Chris Giarrusso!

Also via Acme Comics, an invitation to join in the celebrations of the Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye series on this coming September 17th at their store, for a 'Transformers Day' - featuring toys, art, and more. Find out more info below!

ACME COMICS EXCLUSIVE TITANS RETURN VARIANT

Here's our latest exclusive variant! It is a wrap around cover for IDW's Titans Return one shot drawn by Chris Giarrusso which features an homage to the 1987 back of box art featuring Fortress Maximus and a ton of favorite characters and characters who will play roles in the storyline like Sentinel Prime. It is only $4.99 plus shipping costs if bought through our website.

TRANSFORMERS DAY

According to my research, September 17th is when the Transformers More than Meets the Eye mini series first aired so we are hosting "Transformers Day" at our auxiliary shop "Acme Comics Presents" which is where we keep all of our Transformers action figures from G1 to Titans Return. We hope to make this an annual event!

We will have artists available draw, special Hasbro Revolution promotional comics to give away, and special one-day-only offers!

New guy here. And big GI Joe fan.

I was wondering you all could tell me who all of the Transformers are the small ones are hard to tell. For someone who isn't super knowledgeable.

And I am pretty excited to see how the IDW Hasbro Comic Crossover universe Revolution works out. MASK is a natural fit and I wonder if the MASK vehicles will actually be Transformers with MASK and GI Joe drivers. It all crosses over might as well be all in.

Thanks in advance for figuring out who is who on the cover.

Well, that is certainly no easy question considering how numerous they are and how hard some of the smaller ones are to make out. But...

Cracks knuckles

The massive one at the far right all the smaller ones are swarming over is Fortress Maximus.
The only ones actually on him that I can make out are the combiner Superion on his right shoulder and Jetfire flying away from him on his right wrist (our right). The others are a bit too small and detail-less and don't seem to have a colour scheme and design that corresponds to any transformers in particular; they're likely just background generics.

In the skies, from left to right:-
Row 1: Skywarp, Thundercracker, Sentinel Prime, Acid Storm, Optimus Prime
Row 2: Starscream, Nova Storm/Sunstorm (or just a generic yellow seeker), Soundwave, Rumble/Frenzy and Frenzy/Rumble (depending on which one you think is blue and which one you think is red)
Row 3 (rooftop): Sunstreaker, Red Alert, Arcee, Kup
Row 4: Tall Tankor (aka Octane), Blitzwing, Megatron, Wheeljack, Ironhide
