Artist Livio Ramondelli on Twitter has shared his IDW Transformers: Lost Light Variant Cover.
According to his tweet: “Upcoming cover for an issue of The Lost Light (featuring classic Decepticon Megs here)”.
While some may think this is a (huge) plot spoiler, Livio explained on another tweet that the the cover is completely out of continuity. Just a great piece of art.
Thanks to 2005 Boards member The Kup for the heads up. You can read on to see the cover and then share your impressions at the 2005 Boards.

I do my best to be a positive member of the fandom but I just don't get Livio's artwork. Especially when it's shoed in as "flashback" art like they're going to be doing over in OP. It's just so incongruous.
Plenty of folks out there feel the opposite way, and I won't fault them for that, to each their own and all that. But I almost feel like I'd rather see what his coloring would look like over more inspired/dynamic/legible line work.

Is that a trigger or is he just happy to see us again?

I know Milne and Roche are the only ones who do this regularly, but Livio could really stand to start drawing his own insignias instead of letting someone clumsily photoshop it in. It's especially bad here as the clean logo clashes with Livio's style, and if he drew his own, somewhat simplified version, it would be so much less distracting.
Otherwise, I actually think this looks really nice!
