Our final iBooks preview for today is IDW Publishing’s Revolutionaries #5, which features the spaceship Axalon crashing on a prehistoric Earth. But this isn’t exactly a return to Beast Wars, as the Hearts of Steel miniseries is revisited and brought into the main IDW continuity in a story that looks to have some pretty major revelations about the truth of what happened there! Take a look at the pages after the break, also featuring some awesome retro Marvel Transformers-style artwork by veteran Transformers artist Guido Guidi, and pick the issue up on June 14.

It seems that the annual hasn't happened yet as of this issue.

Well, considering Hearts of Steel had its own faux \"Beast Wars\" prologue, this isn\'t too shocking.

I\'ve always been a tiny bit lost as far as the non-Grimlock Dinobots go in IDW. Is Sludge still considered \"dumb\"? Looks like Snarl\'s not too good either.

God, Pyra, go die in a fire.
At least Starscream is entertaining.

It was listed on iTunes for a while with preview pages for a My Little Pony issue, and now the entire listing has been taken down.

All these previews and still none for lost light?

Actually, Hearts of Steel Optimus's beast mode (and by extent Domitus's) is a brontosaurus, not a mammoth. His beast neck kibble just has very similar placement to Big's tusks.

You can: Repaint a Big Convoy and he's yours!

so they're from Eukaris. why do i get the feeling that Domitus Major will become Optimus Primal when IDW get's to the Power of the Primes storyline?

Judging by the fact that they're all beastformers and they mention a "master," my guess is they're members of Onyx Prime's tribe.
bigfootRULES
but where did they come from? i don't think they're Autobots because they sound like they never heard of Optimus before.

I want a toy of Domitus Major right now.

I really wish they would stop using Livio Ramondelli. He is great for cinematic looking covers but his pages are too often indecipherable as to who's who and just what is happening in the panels and I also find the art and inking to be too heavy and dark.

Intriguing!
Danny-Boy
I kinda know what's gonna happen, but I will neither confirm nor deny that.
Zylly103
It does. And it looks a little like (the possible presence of Prowl complicating things somewhat) they're going with "Hearts of Steel happened, but everybody had different names." Which works.
Danny-Boy
It does make sense considering the original mini opened with "Ice Age Wars".

Revolutionaries looks like they\'re going to put Hearts of Steel through some unholy fusion with Beast Wars. Awesome.
