Previews World has posted two new covers for February’s Lost Light #15. The covers put a heavy emphasis on the return of Scorponok after his being largely absent from the IDW Publishing continuity for the past several years, as Nick Roche’s Cover B shows the classic Decepticon putting the squeeze on both Misfire and Fulcrum. Meanwhile, Brendan Cahill’s retailer incentive cover focuses on a clash of titans as Scorponok goes up against his most fearsome opponent yet… Nickel? Time will tell if these fights are going to be as one-sided as they seem, but until the issue’s February release, you can check out the gorgeous covers after the break!

Guys, leave Nickel alone! We must come together as a united front against Anode, not fall to a Nickel-related schism!

isn't MMC making one?

I would like to get a Nickel Legends figure. Not sure how the feet would work, though.

Maybe we can Nickle and the Scavengers. I would like that. Or maybe for some these dangling threads to be resolved with some level of satisfaction.

I'm happy Scorponok is getting some focus.
Honestly Nickel doesn't bother me, she's not Anode who legit ruins everything.
YoungPrime
Okay, until then I celebrate Nickel's life with a… to her haters!

Id that's the trade off I'll gladly take that hit if it means nickel's permanent death.
I'd welcome the hate with a smile.

I agree. I simply can't take bruticus seriously anymore on my display . I hope some of the scavengers survive…misfire and krok to survive and go on galaxy adventures together. But James appears to be in furmanator mode these days so not sure who will survive.
If anyone does.
Sideswipes death was hard to accept but was written very well by barber. I'd rather sunstreaker bit the dust. The cast is definitely being trimmed across the idwverse so expect more loss, more death.

I think he did still turn into a little base in Maximum Dynobots.
Either way I'd still like a Leader class Scorponok and Ft Maxx. I mean no one's complaining about Overlord's scale and he was the tallest reigning "G1" Decepticon toy ever made till Generations.

If The Scavengers die, I\'m out. I stopped reading Optimus Prime when Sideswipe died. I stopped all the offshoot comics when they turned my favorite con\', Onslaught, into a romantic affair story with Blastoff and gave us Zombie Predaking. I can barely look my Bruticus toys in the eye. In Lost Light, they have killed Skids (my favorite) and wrote Megatron (my other favorite) out of the comic. There won\'t be anything worth reading for me without the The Scavengers. I hate Lug and Anode and now Nautica and the rest of the cast is boring as well for me. Hopefully this is the leaping off point for The Scavengers monthly. I\'d read that!
YoungPrime
Pfft! And many people will probably hate you more if he does…
Anode and Nickel don't bother me though.

I get the feeling Roberts made them to copy the chromedome/rewind pairing, ie a small complaining bot that transforms into a box and a quirky skinny bot with a dark past. Yeah, I got my own issues with both pairings, but not with the whole shipping in itself, with the characters themselves.
But on to the cover, it's nice.
optimusmegas
i see people giving valid reasons for not liking nickel…it's hardly "just cuz"
who's hating on the scavengers?
no kidding….she basically turns into anode's purse…
at least she's got a better personality than anode. still, what a useless alt mode.

Que the next panel of Scorponok effortlessly crushing her.

I especially hate Rung.

The Scavengers and the DJD were, for me, entirely the best things to come out of MTMTE – Nickel aside, as I find her a one note joke – so imagining reading a comic without either of them in, going forward, just isn't much fun for me. I've 'tolerated' LL up til this point, sitting through issue after issue of tedium and new characters that just didn't connect with me at all, but once the Scavengers are gone I think I may be done. Jack Lawrence's cutesy art hasn't helped.

all the more better when he steps on her legs, crushing them .
