It's kinda strange/weird/dumb to me but I wouldn't use lame to describe it.

Edit: I just noticed there are 5 bots on the cover. Perhaps that is the entire team.

Ladies and Gentlemen I give you your female combiner team. The big gal as a torso and the rest as limbs. Also Firestar looks like a repaint of Nautica.

It's not really weird, if you think about it. Until now, most (if not all) Transformers series in IDW continuity have been focused on Cybertron and Earth. Lately it's been strongly hinted at that gender hasn't been present on Cybertron since ancient days. On other planets like Prion (Nickel) and Caminus (Chromia, Lightbright Windblade, Nautica, etc) gender had always existed. So now that we're seeing these colony planets for the first time, we're going to be seeing more females.

I have never been a huge fan of this style of art for the transformers. Now this is by no means a knock at Milne or any of the other artist who work on this series. They are AMAZING artists I just don't click with this style is all. Too many of the TF's look too much alike in my opinion at least.

Guys th3se aren't the characters that will form victorian plus its obvious um... i don't know its not look nautica was a prexisting character like firestar plus guys they said they were creating all new orginal characters that make up the combiner so...
No this isn't the fan built combiner team ok u get it plus don't you dare frickin' say that or think that this is the combiner team when thie us the cover of more than meets the eye comic series because its not involved with the the combiner wars event

We've seen the Alex Milne cover for the 41st issue of Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye from IDW Publishing - how about we look at what's inside, too? Courtesy of Mariel Romero's screenshooting, we have a glimpse at the first three pages via iTunes. Check them out mirrored below - but be warned, there may be spoilers for the issue!

“Dear RODIMUS and crew… It’s my funeral tomorrow and I’d love it if you could all be there. Refreshments will be provided. Please R.S.V.P.—THUNDERCLASH”

The gal in the back with the visor kind of reminds me of Riptide, a little bit. Think it's the shape of the head.

The sort of cyclops type one in the front looks really rad, don't think I've seen that kind of face design in TF before.

It's a fakeout. it has to be. Thunderclash provides way too many comic opportunities to just be axed off screen. This looks like this is going to be a rather interesting issue. looking forward to the "circus" :grin:

I kinda hope they don't go from no females to females everywhere. Also, that flame hair makes no sense. Its a waste of energy. Usually life forms are trying to conserve energy.

I mean, I think it's ok to have females...its just we've had like one...and now they are everywhere suddenly and there should be some explanation, like the colonies are opening up and people joining. Firestar seems like she's been with Thunderclash for a while. Just seems strange when everyone reacted with surprise to fembots when Nautica, Chromia and Windblade were revealed but apparently they were everywhere.

With Roberts high quaility world building it just seems sloppy. Surely I'm just not catching something right?

Cause Thunderclash is love Thunderclash is life?

But in all seriousness Thunderclash had quite a bit of history even if he has only appeared in one issue other characters talk about Thunderclash enough to have some history.

And that James Roberts comment was just rude we the readers are not that bias.

I like the fact that they are introducing so many females, and while it does appear to be an intro-dump, it makes sense that Thunderclash would find many new crewmates from all over the universe.
I also like the flaming hair. It's new and it makes Firestar appear to have waving hair, something few transformers have ever had. 2 thumbs up for me for the cover and preview

It's not so much an introduce as it feels like a "hey look who was here THE WHOLE TIME" Nikel was handled well, fire stars intro is separated by one issue. I would have rather seen a little more. And I hate the "hair". It must have some Camien religious purpose but I think it's step in the unrealistic direction.

It's true though. The preview of 39 with the introduction of Nickel before the issue came out and people just gushed over her. All she did was nag in the preview and the boards were screaming "SO CUTE! "NEW FAV CHARACTER!" "I LOVE NICKEL!" Cmon, if she had shown up in any other book she wouldn't get that much praise. D.O.C. showed in in a preview of RID with Jetfire and no one cared. That can even be said for the DJD in general. Characterless, over powered empty shells yet people scratch and claw over them praying for hasbro or third parties to make toys all because they're in mtmte and are Roberts babies.

If roberts introduces a twig and has tailgate snap it, tumblr will cry out and start dissecting the signifigance and deep meaning of what the twig meant.

Yeah. But it's not true. im a huge Roberts fan and I hated nickel when I first saw her. I said all kinds of things. Go check if you want. The thing is, Roberts is a good writer. That's why we like him.

I think we need to consider the audiences too. The transformers and Windblade appear to do better with longtime fans and have greater use of established characters for the most part.
More Than Meets The Eye is a whole new beast altogether. This comic is essentially a combination of dark and light, seriousness and humor, old and new. They introduce a lot of new characters so they don't have to use the same old guys over and over. Swerve, Whirl, Tailgate among others have received super-stardom through MTMTE. Heck, when issue 38 finally came out, #MTMTE was one of the most popular tags on Tumblr, which is a pretty big social media site. MTMTE is for anyone and everyone and it uses lots of ideas and methods from many different sources. That's why it is my favorite comic of all time: It is utterly unique and I love it, and apparently so do a lot of people who use social media

In a couple of tweets from Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye artist Alex Milne gives us additional looks at Thunderclash's ship the Vis Vitalis and Countdown. Both will be featured in the upcoming Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye #41 comic which if you missed the preview, it can be seen here.

That ship reminds me of a combination of the Yggdrasil IV from Xenogears, the Ptolemaios from Gundam 00 and the SDF1 from Robotech.

In all fairness to John Barber, James Roberts did a far better job in making Nickel an interesting character in a few pages than Barber has done in all of D.O.C.'s appearances. Same for the DJD, or at least Tarn: Roberts made him a compelling character.

There is a reason people like James Roberts, even if you don't see it.

Oh goodness, this is a bit absurd. Not the Bots, the reactions.

I don't understand why boys have such a knee jerk reaction to girls in the TF world. We're not going to give you cooties (or cyber cooties in the case of the Bots)

As long as they aren't GiggleBots I'll be happy. I'd like more strong female characters (our girls need to grow up knowing it's okay to not like MLP and instead like giant alien robots, and be able to identify with the characters, just please refrain from airhead dimwits, Mr Roberts, I have faith you can write a good solid female character...)

I'd like to see more female oriented Cons... besides the angry bitch stereotypes (we can evil without being unexplainably angry and b****y)

Not a fan of the fire hair...

Missing the point entirely.

Females have been established to be a rarity on cybertron. Yes, there used to be lots but they left with the other colonies.

My point is not that there are females, my point is that it's established that they are being reintroduced to cybertronian civilization. To suddenly have female characters appear along side cybertronians as if they were always there is the problem. Fire star should be someone who just signed on. Not someone very familiar with Thunderclash and his generals. I mean it's possible, but it seems unlikely that we wouldn't see her before now, given their rarity.

Again, not about them being girls, but rather sticking with continuity. Roberts probably has it taken care of, he's good with that.

Actually, I get your point completely.

But Windblade, Chromia, and Nautica established that Thunderclash had contact with female bots, so the appearance of more when coming into contact with Thunderclash isn't a far stretch.

I'm not sold on the Sea of Rust girl combiner team, though that one is easy to explain away, but connecting the dots with the space ship faring, planet hopping, Bot is pretty simple.

Now if all the sudden chick's were popping up hanging on Rodimus' arm on the Lost Light, that would be a WTF? NO! Moment
