The planet Donnokt sits on the edge of the universe, far away from all the stars that are flickering and fading out one last time. It is a world on the precipice of revolution-industrialization-taking its first steps into the realms of the mechanical. And on the far edge of nowhere, a Visitor arrives, and Donnokt will never be the same again. The war for Cybertron may be long over… but the war from Cybertron never ends.

I'm a little behind on the IDW2 lore, but isn't being taken over by Exarkon basically rewriting your spark so you're no longer there? And even if he jumps bodies it still kills you?
Well RIP Flamewar…

Another Maximal 5 group shot with Tigatron instead of Dinobot

It's easy to claim IDW's stuff has no action if someone were to only ever base their opinions on the previews and didn't actually read any of them. Not that any of that is happening here, of course.
Rojixus
Yes, but I think the action in IDW2 is severely undercooked, almost as an afterthought.
Happy Miracle
You know I wanted to write something like "laser beam go pew-pew" but IDW2 does kinda labor its dialogue a bit too much, but it's disingenuous to say it doesnt have 'action' or what-have-you
Rojixus
Good and mature storytelling is all well and good, but at some point you're going to have to start shooting because this is a war, not a political symposium.
Happy Miracle
Its good when the robot shoot at the other robot, thats how you know its mature/good storytelling, when the robot shoots the other robot.

A rare scene of Transformers shooting / being shot at in an IDW2 book and not all standing around talking, although there’s four pages of that in this preview.

Don’t worry baby, you’ll have skybound to hate in a few months

Trust us, we know you feel that way…

Remember in the Deadpool movie where Deadpool is
and he’s taking a long time doing so, turning what should have been an emotional moment into an awkward, tedious and drawn-out affair?
That’s how I feel about IDW right now.

It just reflects the remaining life of this run.

Could the shorter previews be because some of these are the final issues and there's spoiler concerns?

they're now counting covers as part of the 3 pages which sucks

Is it just me or are these previews getting shorter and shorter

God I hate when the alternate covers are considered pages as part of a preview, just a big old middle finger
