Thanks to artist Nick Roche on Twitter we have the IDW Transformers: Lost Light #12 Cover B Line Art for your viewing pleasure.
We had already reported Lost Light #12 Cover B in our forums which features an art of a mysterious invisible Autobot (Mirage?) who has been discovered and is ready for a final confrontation. Nick Roche let us see his impressive line art for this cover and he also shares some comments on his Tweet: “And here’s the lineart! It needed to be turned around lickety-split, and even though the concept was simple, it took a bit of head-scratching to figure ‘im out…”
You can check out the line art after the jump and then join to the discussion at the 2005 Boards!

I wonder how deep the toy accuracy hole will go… because I'd love to see Defensor swapping a limb out for Mirage and turning invisible or some shit like that.

Technically there'd either be 7 or 1. In CW it is stated by superion that the combiner has a mind of its own and has nothing to do with his bot components, but in TAAO, it showed the combaticons fighting for control over bruticus, so it could go both ways.

That actually raises an interesting question. Can the nudge gun work on combiners? They’re (at least, Defensor is) six minds in one, and somehow that seems like a bit much to affect all at once.

I am pleased with my commissions from him. I am torn to have which cover.

He has to be the best to ever draw a transformer. I can't think of any past or present artist id have over him

Welp, no Nudge Gunning out of that one. Milne is too good at Transformers!

Alex Milne on Twitter "IDW was kind enough to allow me to show off my cover for #LostLightissue 12. I too wanted in on the combiner action since I don't get to draw them much. I also had fun with the characters interacting with the logo Awesome colours by @dyemooch"

Hah it's just my opinion, sorry should have inserted that.

…………………Okay, so uh how's the weather?

And yet both are less entertaining than the RiD show, something that has charm and isn't caught up in political/crossover nonsense. There are many reasons why I dropped Optimus Prime and continue to despise it. I stuck with LL because I knew the Mutineers story would pay off, but I hope Roberts doesn't go back to edgy Rodimus' crew so soon because I never want to read a story like LL's first arc ever again.

Thats the universe telling you to not wish for something as horrible as more anode
YoungPrime
Well here in Philly we did just get some Tremors that turned out to be a 4.1.
And we don't normally get Earth quakes.

Anode getting a solo series sounds like a sign of the apocalypse
YoungPrime
Anode doesn't bother me more than Humans or Pyra Magna. H3ll give Anode a solo mini series that prevents more of this Hasbro-verse crossover crap and I'll be the first in line to buy the physically book and the digital.
optimusmegas
Anode is never entertaining
YoungPrime
She's far more entertaining than when Optimus goes back to Earth.

The cover with Mirage on it will happen but that image of him being hurt and coveered in energon will exactly occur perhaps not
Mirage being hunted by the security forces will happen is a given he sided against Getaway

okay…most of what you're describing are alternate or incentive covers….those never have bearing on the story so that's not a good example
as much as i hate the overuse mtmte and ll does for the jla cover it is done to highlight the main crew members of the lost light. they did it with the season one main cast then the season two main cast and now the post rodimus crew….so that's not a good example.
the regular cover of getaway looking at the getaway star represents him being captain and being incredibly proud of himself….both things that happened in this issue….
alot of times i'll agree covers are just covers but the examples you gave aren't that.
also, this an alternate cover….anyone thinking this is going to happen in the story obviously don't pay attention to alt covers. this isn't happening in the story

I'm not speculating. I'm joking. Calm down now.
