Thank you board member Sockie for letting us know, and check out the full descriptions of each issue after break.
TRANSFORMERS #49
(W) John Barber (A/CA) Andrew Griffith
CONQUERORS: CONCLUSION! The most dramatic action ever taken by an AUTOBOT sets the stage for next month’s mammoth issue 50. Earth and CYBERTRON. OPTIMUS PRIME and GALVATRON. SOUNDWAVE and COSMOS. It all comes together at four billion miles an hour.
TRANSFORMERS MORE THAN MEETS EYE #49
(W) James Roberts (A) Hayato Sakamoto (CA) Alex Milne
SHUTDOWN! A vengeful god stalks the corridors of the Lost Light, murdering everyone who makes eye contact. The crew must answer two questions: Why have they been singled out for punishment? And how do you stop someone who can kill you just by thinking about it?
TRANSFORMERS SINS OF WRECKERS #3 (OF 5)
(W/A/CA) Nick Roche
SECRETS AND SINS! PROWL’s past-shrouded in mystery-begins to come to light… and the revelations aren’t pretty. But to get ahold of the missing AUTOBOT, the WRECKERS will have to face… the NOISEMAZE.
IaconStargazer
Yeah it is! And has anyone else noticed that he seems to be offering her the remaining Matrix-half?

"Sins of the Wreckers" sounds like a Transformers movie I really want to see.

Still no Transformers Classics UK Volume 6. That blows.

TF49 with Victorion and Optimus is awesome artwork! Kudos!
Autobot Hound
I'm getting really interested in this whole Cosmos and Soundwave thing. And yes, bring on more Whirl in MTMTE.
BombSquad
NOISEMAZE HYPE
And I think that's might be Whirl's silhouette on the MTMTE cover. I think Roberts said #49 will feature him, and his chest cockpit and shoulder shape are very similar to the silhouette.
EDIT: Also looks similar to Tailgate's pointy shoulders and hood. Interesting…
Sockie
Bass, this one's about as specific as the rest. If anything, it's because it's not trying to spoil anything.
Also, looking at the ex-RiD solicits just prior to this one, the kind you're complaining about really isn't as abundant are you're making it sound.
Autovolt 127
January is going to be a excellent for Transformers.
Rodimus was alright all along. I love it.
Oh nice Whirl's finally back in the fore front.
Autobot Burnout
Only the Cybertron version is named Noisemaze, the original Armada incarnation was called Double Face (for obvious reasons if you even know what that toy does in the most basic sense), and the ROTF version…is just called Sideways.
Bass X0
But solicitations are all we have. And I'm bored of the over-dramatic "worlds collide and things will never be the same again!" type writing in ex-RID solicitations that don't really tell us anything specific about the story.
Veritas Prime
Is that Thunderclash cowering behind Tailgate?
Also I thought it was Megatron on the Not RID cover at first until I realized it was Galvatron.
omegafix
I noticed that too
YoungPrime
Hahaha…Good one! It's literally "recycled….to the max!"
Sockie
Okay…? That's not very relevant to my post…
But given that it's saying "the Noisemaze", I'm not so sure he's going to be much of a "who" in IDW.
ZombehDino
Wait… Noisemaze?
If this means that Sideways is featured in some prominent way in SotW, either as a villain or otherwise, I will be a very happy reader. I'm probably being way too optimistic about the prospects of that happening, but eh, let me dream just this one time.
Nocturne
You know what, considering all the theories going around about Rung I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he was the 'God' mentioned in the solicits. Some of the most popular theories about him was that he was a vessel of Primus or the Key to Vector Sigma. One of my favourites that I heard was that he was a living prison for Mortilus.
I'm not saying that's the case here(solicits should NEVER be taken literally) but it's a nifty idea.
schmartenheimer
I'm probably the only one who would prefer Rojo over Hayato. Hayato's composition skills are just… subpar I guess would be the word. The figure work is clunky. Say what you will about Rojo but at least his work has a sense of warmth and life to it, instead of looking like run of the mill Tumblr fanart.
I'd rather have Milne all day errrrrday, but the guy does deserve an occasional rest for all the kickass work he puts in. I just wish that IDW would get a better, more dynamic, fill-in artist.
Thelonicon
Clearly Getaway will "bomp" it to death.
ultramagnus1
Thats who i meant lol. The one behind Tailgate lol
Trip2boy
Man, MTMTE sounds great!
