Thanks to Previews World we can share the IDW Transformers: Lost Light #21 Cover B for your viewing pleasure.
This cover by artist Geoff Senior features the team-up that fans have been waiting for. The Lost Light crew and the Scavengers! The story of Lost Light is coming closer the the end.
TRANSFORMERS LOST LIGHT #21
(W) James Roberts (A) Jack Lawrence (CA) Geoff Senior
Something is coming. It cannot be stalled. It cannot be avoided. It cannot be reasoned with. As the end of everything draws near, a simple instruction rings out across the universe: prepare, confront, repel. Some people are ready for the fight of their lives. Rodimus and the increasingly shambolic crew of the Lost Light…yeah, they’re really not. Like, at all.

US fans seem to hate Geoff art – going back to when he started on the US comic go check the letters pages. They seemed to like Soundwave being drawn incorrectly or Lord Zarak transforming into his own head #55. Starscreams head being drawn wrong. Geoff always got the characters right. Then see all the bad comments about Livio who is the new Geoff Senior art style. An artist who inks his own work.

How Marvel handled getting the 2005 cast into the Marvel TF universe was brilliant. Particularly Galvatron. I loved that
Fun stuff like that is why I liked the original run (and why for so long I was out of the loop until later because I followed the comics more than the toon back in the 80s/90s). A lot of the leaders in the comics weren't exactly the norms and broke from the quo quite a bit.
Such Heroic Nonsense
Shepard Prime
My all-time fav issue by him is #75 of the original Marvel run. He gave Unicron the mass, size and scale that he deserved, let alone the battle against him.
Such Heroic Nonsense
First up, I can't stand idly by and listen to any generalised Geoff-bashing. The guy is justifiably a Marvel TF legend; I grew up with Senior's art (and trying in vain to emulate it! ) and Crisis of Command (along with his work on Death's Head & Target:2006 – especially the Cyberton segments) remains some of my fave comic art ever
That said, this particular piece is below par from Geoff, IMO. No idea why, or whether stricter time constraints were on him. But it's a strangely loose and messy look quite a bit removed from his usual technical prowess, as though his art met Quentin Blake's in a blender!

Or because it was one of the few remaining unresolved plots from IDW, it involved the main star of MTME/LL, and didn't have much (if any) backstory around it so could easily be expanded upon however the author wished.
On a side note, I'm assuming the Furman had an original plan for the Magnificence and it wasn't just meant to be a weird one off spotlight.
NanakoPreame
only because Furman wrote James beloved Marvel UK TF comic.
TargetmasterJoe
I mean, he did bring back the Magnificence from Furman's run of the IDW-verse.
Although the way you put it kind of makes him sound like an ass, not that I'd say it to JRob's face or his Twitter. (Actually, I'm getting mixed messages. I'm not sure what you're trying to say… )
But since it's been brought up, I would be more than happy to see Grimlock reunite with the other Dinobots in like a Grand Finale one-shot for the IDW G1 universe in general, even if part of me doubts it'll happen…
Shepard Prime
Here's the cover from a bigger source. I assume the OP linked the original from the Previews page.
Shepard Prime
At the very least, read the Marvel and UK continuation since a lot of those stories played into later TF universes as well as going in a vastly different route from the G1 toon.
Regeneration One I'm ehhhhh on however. If they'd continued on from the G2 12 issue sequel that Furman wrote, I would've been all for it. But Furman elected to continue on from #80 from the Marvel run, which itself was kind of a good end point for that continuity.
I eventually grew to like Livio's work since I love Senior's and they share the same style. I think Senior is a better storyteller and captures the likenesses better. GS I don't struggle to keep up with who's who from panel to panel like I do with Livio.
If only RE: the bolded.
justiceg
Yeah, I think Grimlock is what’s dropping out of the ship in the preview for the newest issue.
Danny-Boy
I refer you to Sockie’s post on the previous page. The Dinobots ain’t showing up because they’re busy in another book (let alone showing up to do a toy advertisement in the book that has been notoriously disconnected from that kind of stuff.)
Napalm
And Grimlock was left on a Worldsweeper, right? And the sky was teeming with them in Drift's vision. Easy.
Autoboty
I know that. Space bridges and teleporters exist for a reason.
Nocturne
Not a big fan of this it just feels messy. However, I know he's a popular guy and some folks here are happy to see him get a cover. More power to you!
Chiller
I did not know this!!!!
I've been re-reading Last Stand and Sins in preparation, will probably get to Requiem at the end of this week.
Sockie
Then you'll be happy to hear that Senior actually drew some pages in the recent Roche-written one-shot, Requiem of the Wreckers!
Chiller
Love this cover. Thing with Geoff Senior he is a love it or hate him kind of guy (did I hear someone say Livio Ramondelli?)
Imagine for a moment Geoff Senior doing the interior art for a whole Lost Light issue. The comic where everyone just stands around talking. I can't really imagine an artist worst suited.
What I would like to see if something written by Nick Roche drawn by Geoff.
kmc
Solved.
Sockie
The sparks in Trypticon were already turned into protoforms, and OP's final arc looks to be centered all around them.
They're not going to show up in Lost Light in any large capacity, if at all. It's got plenty of its own storylines to wrap up without also having to wrap up its sister book's.
