Via ITunes we can share for you the IDW Optimus Prime #14 ITunes Preview.
This 3-page preview shows us Prowl, Wheelie, Garnak and, in a nice surprise, Stardrive. The Fembot raised and trained by Rom’s Solstar Order who we had seen for the first time in the crossover “Rom vs Transformers: Shining Armor”. The group is on the way to find and save the Throttlebots which won’t be an easy task.
Optimus Prime #14 is expected to be released on December, 20. While you wait, you can check out the mirrored images on this news post and then join to the discussion at the 2005 Boards.

Aw, looks like Searchlight didn\'t make it. 🙁
NanakoPreame
Sorry for the quality but I just had to.
Verno
That he should watch his back.
Megano
So..what does that say for Optimus Primal who's going to PROBABLY be VERY important in the adaption of this?
Verno
Beast Wars: Cannon Fodder.

I'm not sure if I love Prowl because he's an asshole or despite it, but either way I'm just glad the grumpy police car is back in action.

Oh great. Another Livio issue. At least it doesn't look like midnight on every panel, I guess.
Frankly, fans shouldn't need to analyze a panel for 7 minutes trying to decipher what they're even looking at. I'd rather they found an artist who could just replicate the G1 box art style instead of this. Or maybe pay Alex Milne what he's worth to be a regular again.
Haywired
Eh…
The art's kinda killing the appeal for me, to be honest.

I didn't read Autocracy also.
Aside the fact we see Prowl smiling ought to creep people out.

I really think john barber is getting around the fact that he had to change the name from transformers to optimus prime. Sure he plays a prominent role in the series but at least this way he satisfies the powers that be with the name change but writes the story he wants to tell.
Prime was always in his transformer story after season 1. It almost feels like yeah ok let's call it optimus but I'll still feature other characters.

You can tell by the look prowl had on his face in autocracy that he had no intention of destroying the weapons. It was obvious.
Maybe prowl sees the optic thing as a mark?. Maybe he doesn't want to get it fixed? At least not immediately
Mattymo
That’s right! I can’t remember the names of that trilogy at all and I’m a continuity whore. I almost said it was Monstrocity at first.
I don’t care what anyone says. Bash Costa and heart of darkness all they want but the Flint dille trilogy is the lowest of the low in IDW to me.
Omegashark18
It’s from Autocracy, actually.
T-Wrecks
Yeah, way to ruin a ruin a new character like Stardrive by Prowl to be used as a mutated weapon. Prick.
Danny-Boy
That's Garnak.
WilyMech
Ok. That makes sense. I never read Primacy.
Mattymo
That’s not much of a mystery. Prowls weapon is a Vamparc Ribbon from the miniseries Primacy. It’s Zeta Primes weapon stash. At the end of the series Optimus told prowl to destroy the weapons. Prowl obviously didn’t.

Not really trying to be smug but this book seldom seems to focus on Optimus Prime the way a Batman book focuses on Batman. It was an honest question. Why not just call it Transformers?
WilyMech
That where did Prowl get his new arm? Why did Prowl not fix his optic when he got his new arm?
TargetmasterJoe
Actually, I'm rather curious about how Prowl discovered Stardrive.
Perhaps Bumblebee told him about her some time in the past?
