2005 Boards member has attended the IDW Publishing panel at the New York Comic Con and has shared a few teasers of upcoming information that IDW were giving out about their future plans for the Transformers comics:

- February's Infestation crossover, which we reported on yesterday, will be in continuity, as a second mini-series will begin in March spinning out of the events of the Infestation crossover. Titled Heart of Darkness, it will get back to Galvatron, last seen in the All Hail Megatron coda. Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, who are writing Infestation and the Transformers portion of the crossover, are also writing this one, with Ulises Farinas on art.

- The Transformers Prime graphic novel will be released as individual issues, starting in January.

- A second Transformers The Dark of the Moon prequel is planned, titled Rising Storm. John Barber is writing with Carlos Magno on art. Barber will also pen the Transformers The Dark of the Moon movie adaptation starting in April, with Jorge Moreno on art.

- The next major arc of the Ongoing series is Revenge of the Decepticons, and will feature a newly redesigned Megatron by Don Figueroa. The arc will feature the Decepticons attacking on every level possible, physical, psychological and so on.

- There will be a further print run on the Animated Allspark Almanacs. IDW Editor Andy Schmidt joked "we'll charge you $300 for them since we know you'll pay that much for them".
On a sour note though while IDW wants to do further Animated comics there is nothing on the cards for 2011.

- Four new Spotlights are in the works. Three names connected with the project: James Roberts, Nick Roche and Chris Mowry. May still be a little way off into the future though as it was not in the main IDW presentation.

- Character wise, Ironhide and Sunstreaker will be seen again in 2011. There are "fluid plans" for the Dinobots, plus there is a possibility of the Quintessons making an appearance. Mike Costa also reportedly wants to bring Unicron into the mix, but IDW Editor Andy Schmidt says it will have to be something really good and not derivative for him to give it the green light.
