iTunes Books has put up a brief three-page preview of the next issue of Transformers More than Meets the Eye, out next Wednesday. There’s a fair amount of spoilers in this preview, even low-res as it is, so be warned if you want to go in to this issue. What we will share with you is this is a story which as writer James Roberts puts it, “gives one of the dominoes we’ve seen set up in the first 13 issues a little nudge, and sees where it all leads to”. It is also covering flashbacks to 4.2 million years ago and to the Last Stand of the Wreckers.
If that’s not enough, James Roberts has also stated this is the beginning of an eight-part story “in all sorts of ways”. You can check out more of his teaser comments on the IDW forums via this post here.
Be sure to check it out in all its glory this coming Wednesday!

Pretty sure Overlord was always one of the guys who was cheering in the gladiatorial fight in Megatron Origins.

Buzzsaw took down Omega Supreme in the original marvel run, so he's definitely got it in him.

WoundSave
Are we there yet?
Gilgamesh
Overlord is just too smalltime for Buzzsaw. Buzzsaw probably casually cannon-blasted Metroplex or something and he fell on Overlord, KO'ing him.

I'm all for it turning out to be Ambulon who beat overlord, changed into a big leg and kicked him.
The title of the prologue reminds me of this book:
An Inspector Calls – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Curious…

If there's one person that makes you shit your pants harder than Overlord, it's Buzzsaw.
Iro the Dude
That would be so great. Buzzsaw should be like an unofficial phase-sixer.

Reading the preview, I really hope that
star_ling
That sounds like a interesting theory, but I have no idea how he end up like this. The issue seems to tease a little bit of backstory for Overlord and a host of other things. Again I hope Overlord survives his inevitable rampage aboard the ship. I suspect he will severely throttle Chromedome.
Dark Magnus
Holy crap, Wednesday CAN NOT come fast enough!
Kaijumaster
awesome to see Senator Momus humble beginnings.
General Magnus
I´d laugh my ass off if Overlord joins the crew.
Also, I wonder of Yggs theory of him being Dominus Amber is right.

Full preview on Isuu.
Red page officially classifies Overlord as a phase sixer. Finally.
Escargon
Actually, its called only the Shimmer. No green.
Dark Magnus
"Hey, want to find the cure for the boredom that is your life? Join the Wreckers and you'll find it! …………………………………It's called death"
Kaijumaster
exactly…. "HOLY CRAP! THE GREEN SHIMM……oh wait it's a holo from Springer"
Kitty Twist
Ah, thanks for the correction. I wonder if green being a predominant colour in the comics will be explained or if it's simply got special significance (much like the number 113 having significance for Roberts).
Sockie
Flattop was the one who died in Rung's office, and he died from Gideon's Glue–which, by the way, is green.
Kitty Twist
The "Green Shimmer being Springer" part doesn't account for Tripwire's death in Bullets (the prose story that featured it). He saw the Shimmer and died in Rung's office (albeit a long time afterwards).
My only speculation is that, in one way or another, everything will point back to Garrus 9 and what happened there. Whatever it is that those miners found very well could be beneath Aequitas. What better place to hide something invaluable than inside a prison?
