Courtesy of Previews World and bleedingcool.com we have the IDW releases for June 2019.
This month we have issues 7 and 8 of the new IDW Transformers universe. Chromia and Prowl will make their first move on the plot and Elita-1 is also showing up. Megatron continues his efforts to change Cybertron’s society while he meets the mysterious Termagax.
And this month is the debut of first issue of the new Transformers Ghostbusters mini-series. New Autobot Ectotron will be a key player in this crossover.
You can check out the solicits, together with their excellent cover artwork, attached to this post after the jump. Then, you can sound off on the 2005 Boards!

“GHOSTS OF CYBERTRON” PART 1! After years of civil war, the Autobots fled Cyberton, leaving their home planet in the evil clutches of Megatron and his Decepticons. Years later and millions of miles away, the Autobots pick up a Cybertronian distress signal from a mysterious planet called Earth. The ghostly signal shouldn’t exist, and it’ll bring Optimus Prime and his team-including brand-new Autobot ECTOTRON-face-to-face with… the GHOSTBUSTERS!
Crossing the streams after 35 years!
Written and illustrated by the long-time fan-favorite Ghostbusters creative team of Erik Burnham, Dan Schoening, and Luis Antonio Delgado!

That seems unlikely, seeing as how this exists:
Octoblitz
I'm definitely going to be ordering these for the comic shop where I work!
Digger
I actually found a sketch of his on twitter and it was only when I relpied that I found out it was him. And I was shocked by how interesting his art can be when it carries more interesting emotions.
jamarmiller
Sci clonus is in this? I love the character but I do not like him being there from the beginning
Berser Car
Elita-1 is coming (and not Ariel,even if Orion is not Optimus yet)!
I suppose they will use her CW body, as there are upcoming toys of half her combiner limbs.
Weezie
I'm not a fan of Ramondelli. I think his best work is his monochrome sketches.
Digger
Man that Malkova cover is incredible. Super excited for that issue. Ramondelli‘s though? I dunno. I feel he really still fails with his colouring. Excited nonetheless though.
IgnikaMarcus
So, the soon-to-be Decepticon movement wasn't started by Megatron?
I'm intrigued. Hopefully Termagax is a decent character.
MrSoundmeister
Man, that could be awesome actually, heck they should give the guy his own team of limbs, i mean, that would make a good excuse to make "Cybertronian Retools" of the CW molds.
weevil
Can cyclonus combine to from Galvatronus?
RodimusRex
Conveniently, this justifies a Ghost deco of Siege Starscream.
WEEGEE
Cyclonus appears to be in his CW design.
weevil
Cyclonus looks awesome.
Mr. Chaos
So I am going to call it… the Ghostbusters story is an alternate G1 where the Ark left without trouble. Gozer arrives after the Autobots left and slays the Decepticons, with Starscream being the only one to survive but he is now a ghost.
NanakoPreame
I swear if Elita does nothing for 90% of this comic and dies when she does do something so help me…
Thundershot
Looking forward to seeing how Cyclonus will be portrayed this time.
Also curious as to whether they use the POTP Elita-1 design.
I know it’s still early in the run, but I hope they branch out and use more characters that got little to no attention in the previous IDW-verse.
