In other words her character will be expanded on more than wallowing around and blaming starscream for everything? I welcome it.

I frikkin' love this cover! Yes Sideswipe is comin' back!
I am super excited for Shining Armor. Highlight of my July at the moment.
So Micronus has been hijacked eh? Oh boy. Can someone catch me up on the Transformers involvement in other books like GI Joe, MASK, and such? I haven't read any of them other than Revolutionaries and I don't really have any desire to read them.

GI Joe: Skywarp is in it. He's a jerk, with reason.
MASK: who knows how it ties in, if at all.
ROM: the ore we saw in the annuals, that helped create the armour, is probably linked to 'Our' Ores. Plus. Dire Wraiths are running around the place.
Micronauts: read it! seriously, good book. And Time Is All Things.

Till All Are Mmmmm...
I love them, personally. The private no longer is, it's all about mind games and manipulation (mani=hands in Latin/Italian; think also of how mnemosurgeons use their hands to tinker with minds in IDWverse), and something is most definitely off.

Also, why isn't Optimus Prime at all concerned about the dire wraiths?

I can't trash the book but I have a hard time saying "go spend money on it". I really did honestly enjoy the Annual (Va'al did not, for the record) but it is unlike the rest of the series thus far.
Put it this way - if you've like what you've seen of Rom in Revolution/etc, the series is more of that but focused in more tightly on not only the book's namesake character but the Wraiths, the threatening nature of them, and it's starting to get into a faction of them that isn't interested in fighting,
like CONS4EVA and Doc Senior in the Joe book. If that sounds up your alley, I know at least the first trade paperback is out, which is the entirety of events that take place before Revolution iirc.
