I reaaaally hope these two aren't love interests. I enjoyed their friendship but neither of them seem like characters who I'd read and enjoy for their romantic lives. Especially Arcee.

Transformers breathe?

I've been thinking the same thing. I was really enjoying the earth part of things until revolution

Are the Joes still polluting this series?

Am I the only one that likes the retail incentive cover? I like the anime like style and vibrant colors. That's part of the reason why I enjoyed it when Tramontano and Burcham worked on issue 53 of The Transformers.

Maybe this is on me, but I really can\'t remember any instances of Sideswipe and Arcee being a thing before he got critically injured.

Hey, don't you DARE speak ill about Rob Liefeld. You take it back…you take it all back RIGHT NOW.

Boy that retail incentive cover is terrible. It took me several minutes to realize that was Arcee's knee on the left side and not another Arcee that was somehow being cut apart.
It's extremely liefeldian to the point where I'd almost think it was a deliberate homage. It's the entire Rob Liefeld poor art checklist practically: Distorted and huge torso, limbs in perspective distorted balloon size, no feet/ankles just points, a merely near anatomically impossible pose for a woman, weapon "energy" bigger then the weapon or distorting it, simply raw colors with no detail in the background, her body has shadows that don't match (IE, parts of her body are lit from different light sources seemingly). If her groin plate were pockets she's hit every point.

Sideswipe and Arcee nah they don't even look good together at all and I did read the comic's Arcee is still herself optimus prime is way better for her

It only looks like a respirator. I'm sure it's something else. Yeah, something else for sure. I'm sure of it.
j.a.f.o.
Can someone explain to me why a ROBOT needs to wear a respirator?

Arcee and sideswipe? I really like that. Springer is gonna be jealous though lol.
TyrantLizardKing
I don\'t know who did the alternate cover but goodness was it drawn badly.
And that\'s before putting my hatred of IDW Arcee aside.
bman
This looks stupid.
optimusmegas

Arcee's head looks terrible in the second image. Main complaint is that her eyes are too high up her head IMO.
