Previews World have posted up the solicits for all the great Transformers Comics coming our way in April 2016! In the main ongoing Transformers series, All Hail Optimus is set to continue with the promise of old friends and old enemies returning, while More than Meets the Eye is going to feature a showdown between two mighty warriors. Sins of the Wreckers 4 is also on the solicits, as is Transformers VS G.I. Joe 12, which sounds like it is going to get even crazier with Optimus Prime taking a trip to Cybertronian Hell – could this be the first in-print depiction of “The Pit” that was mentioned in the Beast Wars cartoon?
Read on for the full solicits and covers.

Which would have been awesome if only Megatron had not renounced the use of violence.
TURBODERP
The simplicity of MTME's description.
AND THE HYPE OH SWEET LORD
Bass X0
I'd like to see Prowl actually get his own way because that would make for a more interesting story than if Prowl's schemes were stopped and he was written out of the comic completely.
All Hail Prowl.
Autovolt 127
All according to keikaku.
Neat homage.
I think Sentinel will be the older enemy.
and Prowl is going to be the devil on his shoulder. Though for once I'd like it where Optimus listens to him and shit actually gets down for once.
MatrixOfWumbo
As if Victorion wasn't enough of a bad influence…
In any case, what happened to Sentinel after his beating at Megatron's hands? He clearly didn't die, so where did he go?
Devaron9
I'd also like that, but I always had this feeling that they'd use him in MTMTE, or something like SOTRW, and other five part issues. If Sentinels among the people recieving the call, it makes me think that that is what brings the Titans back.
Speaking of Titans Returns and the Prime Wars, who wants to bet that the big bad or a major player in the unnamed final part will be Onyx Prime. Of all the 13 primes, he seems to have the largest influence. We know he survived the first great wars as he bailed after Galvatron killed Nexus, he left Chela to kill non-beastformers that came to Eukayris and placed a sleeper agent in the form of blackrock.
Sockie
I think it was Coffee who had the theory of him becoming a sort of advisor to Optimus and "the devil of on his shoulder"… I'd like to see that.
I'd also like Sixshot to show up, but I've been wanting that for years. =P
Bass X0
Hmm…
Prowl just didn't like being a pawn any more and so became the ruthless chessmaster.
MatrixOfWumbo
Optimus' older enemy is probably Sentinel Prime, just in time for his upcoming toy.
Sockie
Oh, just realized that I forgot to post one other cover revealed after my original post: Josh Burcham's one for SOTW #4!
Autovolt 127
Megatron vs Tarn is going to be brutal.
Lumpy
ah, gotcha. I can be patient.
and man, that really looks like Tracks, but makes more sense to be Hubcap.
Sockie
Yes, something came up in Roche's personal life so there's going to be a gap between #3 and #4.
And no, that's Hubcap.
Lumpy
There's a three month wait for Sins? What?!
Also, is Roadbuster staring at Tracks?
Omegashark18
Old friends and enemies, hmmm… I wonder who that might entail?
Megatron VS Tarn… Ohohohoh, that's going to be one hell of a fight.
And finally, SOTW is back! We just have to wait three months….
Predakwon
Meh month, however with the solicts out, I'm more excited for the new TPBs/HCs that will be listed on Amazon.
DJW107PRIME
Bummed it'll take so long to get back to the Sins. Happy to see it being solicited also love me some Bee.
payres
Good to see SOTW 4 finally show up after a break!
Am I right in thinking Till All Are One hasn't been solicited at all yet?
Novaburnhilde
Amazing covers as always.
Megatron Vs. Tarn is gonna be one hell of a fight.
grindcore138
If that SoTW cover is anything to go by I think Hubcap may be getting a spine-ectomy followed by a delicious gourmet meal of His Own Spine courtesy of Roadbuster.
I like to imagine when Megatron vs. Tarn is about to go down the rest of the Lost Light is gonna be like Dwight's fire drill in the Office.
