In a brief interview with Comics Continuum, IDW Publishing's Transformers series editor Andy Schmidt has explained some of the reasoning for Transformers Spotlight Prowl. In the interview he explains that Spotlight: Prowl was a story that IDW had always intended to get to, to explain the development of Prowl's character between All Hail Megatron and the ongoing series, but that the plans were brought forward due to fan reaction to the alternate characterisation of Prowl.

TFW2005 has an early review on another Transformers comic! Today's review is for Transformers #4 by IDW Publishing, which will be released in comic book stores tomorrow - Wednesday, February 24th. Transformers #4 Credits Publisher: IDW Publishing Written by: Mike Costa Art by: Don Figueroa Colors by: J. Brown Letters by: Robbie Robbins Editor: Andy Schmidt Associate Editor: Denton J. Tipton Covers Cover A – Art by Don Figueroa and Colors by J. Brown Cover B – Art by Andrew Wildman Retailer Incentive – Art by Don Figueroa Review Within the DeceptiComments section following the Transformers #4 comic content, writer Mike Costa breaks from the norm and uses the section to talk about the ongoing series as opposed to using the section to respond to fan letters. Within the section, Mike suggests that Transformers #4 changes course regarding the style of story and makes the first bold statement regarding how the story will be handled in the future. Without the DeceptiComments section, the change is not that noticeable. There is no sudden shift in story and no change in the ways the characters act over the first three issues of the ongoing. If there is any change evident in Transformers #4, it is done through the re-introduction of Thundercracker. With the exception of one page, Transformers #4 revolves around Thundercracker’s revival and his interpretation of events following his near destruction three years ago. The issue could very well be called Spotlight: Thundercracker as opposed to Transformers #4. Last we saw, Thundercracker was shot at point-blank range by fellow Seeker Skywarp following Thundercracker’s successful attempt at redirecting the nuclear bomb fired by the Decepticons at New York City. Transformers #4 provides back story regarding his survival following Skywarp’s attack and how he came to be part of Swindle’s group of Decepticons that were left on Earth. Following the back story, most of the issue then focuses on the attempt by both Swindle’s and Hot Rod’s crews to build an escape craft. Ultra Magnus arrives to question Hot Rod regarding the death of Ironhide and is dumbfounded when he witnesses the collaborative effort at the craft-building site. As noted above, one page of the comic does stray from the Thundercracker-guided story and focuses on Spike Witwicky. Thundercracker’s dialogue throughout the issue was written well, providing insight regarding why the Transformers are losing the battle against the humans. Other items, however, seemed to be too convenient. One example: Suddenly forgetting what makes a Prime a Prime, fellow Autobots in Hot Rod’s crew are starting to call him Rodimus Prime. Ultra Magnus’ arrival at the site accomplishes nothing and does not help to move the storyline forward. In fact, there is no forward progress in the issue. Don Figueroa’s art, as with the rest of the ongoing series thus far, has been a love-it or hate-it item. If you’re a fan of the movie-inspired designs, you’ll continue like it. If you do not like the movie-inspired designs, prepare to be disappointed. For those that like consistency in art style during a comic company’s run, you’ll be disappointed as well. Any current comic follower is well aware that IDW allows artistic freedom in the design of Transformers and their alt-mode in the current ongoing series as well as the Bumblebee and Last Stand of the Wreckers mini-series. That freedom has lead to drastic changes in the designs of fan favorites and more between the series. Thundercracker is the perfect example. His alt-mode is once again an F-22 jet after being shown as an F-15 jet in All Hail Megatron AFTER being first shown as an F-22 jet in the “-ation” series of comics. Don did drop a nice little easter egg in the issue, though, with the escape shuttle structure looking awfully familiar to another structure from Generation One. Although there was a promise of changes in the style of the story, Transformers #4’s story ends up being more of the same stuff seen throughout the first three issues. While the method of story delivery may be different, there has been no drastic change to the storyline. Because of the shift in story delivery method in this issue, comic readers who have yet to find interest in this series may want to pick up this issue to see if the style is a better fit to their likes. Regardless of the core storyline presented in the ongoing, this issue is worth at least a read as a standalone “Spotlight: Thundercracker” theme. As a whole, this book may stand up better anyways in the long run as a focus on Thundercracker as opposed to a focal point of the ongoing story saga. |

Is he a must buy, or a pass? Decide for yourself after checking out the thread in our Transformers Feedback forum! |

2005 Boards member Deceptigtar has managed to get his hands on an early release version of the Japanese Transformers Animated Cybertron mode Megatron! This version of Megatron sports a shinier metallic silver deco than his US counterpart and a purple insignia, but he also features a different shade of clear red plastic which is less transparent and a little softer than the previously released US version.
How does he measure up to the original version of Megatron and is he worth importing? Check out Deceptigtar's images including comparisons with the original Hasbro Megatron and his first impressions and decide for yourselves. |

ModxToy have put up scans of the March 2010 editions of Dengeki Hobby and Hyper Hobby magazine. The Transformers sections of both magazines are unsurprisingly dominated by Transformers Animated's impending Japanese launch, but not to be forgotten is Revenge of the Fallen, with the remaining Japanese releases all on show as well as Japan-only items such as Disney Label Donald Duck (in color and monochromatic variants) and the awesome Generation 1 colors EZ Collection Devastator.
Check out our mirror of all the images by clicking on the title of this story. As an added bonus, you can also check out scans from the February 2010 edition of Dengeki Hobby which were overlooked previously. |

Chris Ryall has updated his Ryalltime blog with a couple of pages from the upcoming Transformers Spotlight: Prowl. These two pages tease at events that will be happening in this story, which is set in the interval between All Hail Megatron and the ongoing series and reconciles the two different personalities Prowl exhibits in those two series. It is due out in April.

Broken Frontier has put up a small preview of the upcoming (in the UK at any rate) Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen issue #10, from Titan UK. The story this issue revolves around a bounty hunter who wants Optimus Prime's head to mount as a trophy.

ACToys.net member Yinothing has posted a small selection of images of the upcoming Masterpiece Ghost Starscream. The images apparently originated on a Taobao auction but currently no link to that source is available.
The new images show more of this clear version of Starscream, including his accessories and display base, all of which are clear. The base is the same clear plastic as Starscream himself, which the support that Starscream attaches to is done in the same shade of clear orange plastic as Starscream's cockpit.
