Previews World has unveiled the IDW Transformers Optimus Prime #20 Retailer Incentive Cover and we are sure it will please many Beast Wars fans.
This cover, courtesy of artist Kei Zama, features Beast Wars Megatron and Optimus Primal. Behind them, a menacing eye of the Nemesis in the background. The climax of this story is coming in hot.
OPTIMUS PRIME #20
(W) John Barber (A/CA) Kei Zama
“The Falling,” Part 5. Optimus Prime has faced defeat before and come back… but he’s never seen anything like this. Beyond life, beyond death-only the wisdom of an old friend can save him. Meanwhile, Victorion battles Devastator… and only one will survive.
The return of Bumblebee! One shall rise, one shall fall, but who will destroy them all?

You can check out the mirrored cover after the jump and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

There\'s so much detail and colour its kind of hard to see Primal. But when this gets coloured its going to look glorious.
Coller\'s name is listed on the top, is he doing interiors as well?

So will Primal and BW Megs play a significant role? If not why feature them on the cover etc?
They have been teasing these characters for years now, will we finally get a payoff?

I agree with @Sovietbot that Kei Zama’s Nemesis seems even at least just slightly inspired by The Eclipse from Berserk~

And, the Nemesis is from Beast Wars II or Neo in Japan, so maybe Primal and Barnietron will join the fray.
More importantly, Kei Zama Rules! ^.^
Digger
Yeah exactly
NominusDP
In cameo appearances , yes
Gallade
No, actually. We can't see the pic.
Sovietbot
Atmosphere of Berserk.
Digger
I can’t see it.
Sovietbot
Berserk reference?
Gallade
ON IT, CHIEF!
Brave Magnus
Holy hell!! Is that…BW MEGATRON?!?!!?? O_O Wait, he actually shows up in this arc!?
T-Wrecks

Now cue the Beast Wars theme music!

Crossing my fingers that they’ll actually play a role in the story, but I doubt it. Oh well, it’s an awesome cover either way.
Digger
Kei Zama shines once again as she continues to make beast wars look cool. I hope the story of primal and megatron isn’t forced in. Also how the hell are they gonna name them?
Digger
Are you joking or serious? I can’t tell.
Fallout
wow, that design looks great. interesting how that guy has a t-rex head for an arm. too bad that's only a comic design and we're never getting a toy of that. probly not even an important character in idw, much less any other tf fiction…
Nemesis Otaku
Ooh. I'm guessing the colored version is either A or B, but it's very impressive to see the line work on its own. Just makes you appreciate all the work an artist does.
