Thanks to 2005 Boards member The Kup for sharing the IDW Lost Light #11 Cover B – Sketch And Lineart in our forums.
IDW Lost Light covers B, C and Retailer Incentive were revealed previously and artist Nick Roche shared the sketch and line art of his cover via Twitter a few hours later. We can appreciate the creative process of the amazing cover that features treacherous Autobot Getaway as if he were going to catch the Lost Light ship. This issue will be available this November, 29.
You can check the mirrored images after the break and then join to the discussion at the 2005 Boards!

Protect him from Roberts.

If First Aid dies, we riot. I've put up with Roberts killing off my favourite characters for long enough.

Star Saber had it worse
I feel the same way, I think part of it is how adorable and innocent this First Aid is RIP First Aid. RIP Defensor.

I don't know if it's the fact that it's after midnight and I'm really tired, but cover c makes me genuinely feel sad for First Aid. He's an innocent, plucky young Autobot rookie who's been beaten and abused, and is now on the verge of tears as his former friends prepare to shoot him dead.
Damn you Getaway. You just keep finding new ways for me to hate you.
Rabid Robot
Yes but his name in the English version was getaway.
Lightfoot (Masterforce) – Transformers Wiki
I suppose you could count them as different characters but I always thought of them as the same.
SPLIT LIP
You mean Lightfoot? The completely separate character from Getaway who just had similar toys?
The Kup
Yeah, it is.
Whoops, forgot to add a link to the original source. Updated my post with it.

B and C are good covers. Gonna ask the comic people to put B in my sub box to pick up.

Cover C makes me think of some title like \"Lost Light…OF TERROR!!!\"
Meanwhile, anyone else get the feeling Cover B is foreshadowing Getaway taking the entirety of the Lost Light to hell?
10 bucks say one crewmember will say something along the lines of \"Getaway, you IDIOT! YOU\'RE TAKING US ALL TO HELL!!!\"

Damn is that another Roche "space" cover? I'm gonna have to get that as soon as it's out. Collecting them is compulsive by now!

This pretty much sums up everything IDW's done for the last five years. The obscure characters have basically taken over, and it's for the better. Characters like Optimus, Bumblebee and Starscream are all so well established that you can only do so much with them without doing their history a disservice. Obscure characters like Getaway though are like blank canvases that writers can do just about anything with, without having to worry about any baggage they bring with them.

Getaway must die.
No matter the cost.

He didn't do a lot in marvel UK/us apart from being one of the guys in the headmasters stories and complaining about rust in a tf annual story that featured power master prime and dreadwing and darkwing.
Getaway joins the ranks of bots who did little in previous continuities to suddenly being very important.

It\'s so weird how a random ass late 80\'s Autobot like Getaway somehow became one of IDW\'s biggest villains.
Optimax Prime
huh, yeah, it does, weird?
