Apple’s iTunes has posted up a three page preview of next week’s Unicron issue 3. Unicron has made it to Cybertron, and the population mounts a desperate counterattack. Every ship and every flight capable Transformer takes to orbit in a last ditch attempt to save their homeworld. Will they succeed? You’ll need to pick up the full issue, titled “Our Finest” to find out – but we will remind you this is issue 3 in a 6 issue miniseries.

Liking some ideas here. Connecting Visionaries magic to Dire Wraiths could make a very interesting origin of both starting point and how that bleeds over to the solstar order, and maybe other worlds. Some really interesting concepts there I'd like to see explored.
Also curious on how that interacts to cybertronian tech and the origin stories that could be told in that too. Loving that Arcee is giving better exposition because of her older presence in this universe. That was something that never got covered much and it's nice to see it coming into play here. Kind of gives more credence to the theory she might be the actual Arisen that's been in hiding since the rebirth from the days as one of the 13 Primes to one of the first cybertronians since Arcee is that old. Would make sense, all the massive changes made to her, the memory issues, the active attraction signal she sends out before she knew how to stop it which could have been because of the fact she was a reborn original Prime instead of Furman's angry bad writing that he had to put a fembot in the comics.

Well, if the Lost Light makes it back to Cybertron and his corpse is still onboard, just staple him back together and there you go, problem solved. It's not the first time we've seen a combiner built with a dead leg. Defensor used Ambulon, and Devastator used Scrapper that one time.
but I'm still more convinced IF the Enigma comes back into play it will just gather everyone together into a Giant Gestault Optimus, no distinguishable Limb bots.

If so, they’d have to find someone to replace Mirage.
Rodimus Prime
The whole thing screams of being forced to wrap up the series in a rush.

OR….
We see him grant the power of the Enigma to Optimus, the Return of Optimus Maximus! Mass Shifted to planet size. It'll be like the conclusion to Energon all over again, but with more Prowl snark.
The ultimate situation would be Prime gathers every Cybertronian in existence together… like We saw with the Decepti-God….

Now I want to see Superion beat the crap out of Unicron.
Rodimus Prime
All I ask is for Pyra Magna to die a horrible death.

I'm guessing now, the only survivors of this All Fembot Attack Squad will be Chromia and Pyra Magna… Elita will get the red hearing "sacrifice" like the Mistress of Flame only to turn up in the final battle with Unicron…. as a monstrocity combining a Dire Wraith and what remains of the Mistress of Flame and bits of the Torchbearers. Forcing Pyra to kill her teammates using the Forge Hammer given to her by the late Mistress.
Meanwhile, the Aerialbots are front and center again, despite not talking, I'm wondering if they'll not be forced to combine, but with better control over the Enigma code that will force them, or someone else, to Mass shift to Unicron's size.

Omega Supreme died at the second issue, after giving Bumblebee the message.

\"Tough ladybots for the win!\" – Geez, that is some cringeworthy dialogue. I have seen better wording in fanfics.
Also, say what now Bee? Everything is connected now and Unicron is just some megaweapon built by the Wraiths and powered by Visionaries magic? Sigh, this is why I said they should not do so many crossovers…
And Omega died? Great, he sat unused for years and now died off-screen somewhere? Or in the second issue of which I oddly saw now previews for?

Welp. They all gon die. Bye Vicky, Bye Elita

"There goes our last female…"
except for Windblade.
–
but seriously, I think Elita's been a red hearing for a while. Her plot direction from the start was meant to represent a power shift, and Unicron is the ultimate power now… her forces may be depleted and she'll switch sides.

**See Transformers vs. Visionaries.
I could do that. I could. Or, I could just stick my hand in a blender. It saves time, and has almost the exact same effect, if a little less painful.

Must… make.. crappy Visionaries mini… relevent…!

Say what you like about Optimus’ methods at least he’s humble to the end unlike those prideful fools Elita One, & Pyra Magna if their not careful their pride will be their downfall.

Calling it now: Elita and the Torchbearers' plan ends with Unicron killing all of them except Elita and Pyra who will be too traumatized to do anything by themselves anymore.

I see IDW is going for the non-divine origin of Unicron. Built by Organics to be a weapon (similar to Unicron of the G1 cartoon).

I knew it! Victorion will save us all!
optimusmegas
i'm gonna take a wild guess that "tough girl bots for the win" is going to lead to "all girl bots on carcer die in one shot"
their attack doesn't seem to bode well
Hadlen_Weltall
He invented the cybertronian religion, why not its apocalypse too?
