Via Itunes we have previews of IDW First Strike #4, Revolutionaries #8, & Rom VS Transformers: Shining Armor #3.
We get a 3-page preview for each comic. You can read a brief description below.
First Strike #4 by Mairghread Scott on iBooks: Captured by Transformers! Even with the Autobots on their side, G.I. Joe is in trouble! Starscream doesn’t trust anyone, much less armed humans who show up during Cybertron’s darkest hour and he’ll do anything he can to keep G.I. Joe under control—including let COBRA get even closer to their goal!
Revolutionaries #8 by John Barber on iBooks: OPTIMUS PRIME VS. BARON IRONBLOOD! The final mystery is revealed as Baron Ironblood reveals his true identity! Only by teaming with Transformers leader Optimus Prime do the Revolutionaries have a chance to save Earth—and the whole Hasbro universe! The senses-shattering conclusion to Revolutionaries leads directly into next month’s massive crossover event!
Rom Vs. Transformers: Shining Armor #3 by John Barber on iBooks: Crash-landed on a mysterious planet and pursued by both Decepticons and Dire Wraiths, the Solstar Knights and Autobots will have to set aside their differences in order to save themselves!
You can check the mirrored images after the jump and then join to the discussion at the 2005 Boards!
First Strike #4

Agreed I hate the movies for making the cybertronians so comparatively weak.

Liking the clash between Stardrive and the Order here. Sad that this is only a mini-series.

One thing I do like about the Hasbro-verse is that on average, any given Cybertronian still vastly outclasses anything humans can throw at them. It takes extraordinary measures (and/or studied Cybertronian technology) for them to be able to compete.
It's a nice counterpart to the movie-verse, where tanks and guns can take down even the most powerful.

That's because it is Antagony, albeit being hijacked by Micronauts big bad Shazraella, which is why she looks different. Microspace peeps have this Enerchange ability that lets them merge with Microspace technology and beings, and being that Microspace was created by Micronus Prime that extends to being able to Enerchange with Cybertonians as well.

They've never been robots. They wear a symbiotic armor formed from one of Shockwave's ores.
BB Shockwave
Wait, so ROM and the Knights are not also just robots? I have never seen them outside their armor…
BB Shockwave
Also, I do miss the Marvel days when humans had round speech bubbles and TFs rectangular ones, so you could always know who was speaking when people were off-screen.
BB Shockwave
So why does the giant robot lady has a net-bra? LOL, seriously that pattern kinda made me think that. Is she a transformer? Reminds me of Antagony.

Rom vs TF is now currently my favorite out of recent new comics. Still confused if it\'s because of interesting story and character or Alex Milne\'s art (jk, hahaha)
Megastar
Moments like this is what the Hasbroverse is all about.

I am still loving Ironhide's line to Scarlett

Well this about confirms it, we're going to get FIVE comics on the 27th!
Danny-Boy
Feel free to split them.
Black Convoy
Nice. I just think we could have separate threads for each one, as a suggestion.
