IDW Publishing and Hasbro held a press conferance on Wednesday about the future of Transformers comics, with the ongoing Chaos arc, the upcoming Transformers #125 - now simply renamed to The Death of Optimus Prime (spoilered for those who don't already know), and what lies beyond. Comic Book Resources has a full on write-up of the event, with pictures.

There's some new information on Chaos including some awesome art of a total beast of a Transformer that John Barber is calling the Deceptigod, a combiner formed from Galvatron's entire army of Sweeps.

Following on from that there is some news on Transformers 125, originally numbered as such because it was the 125th Transformers comic IDW will publish, but now retitled to avoid confusion for readers. The issue formerly known as Transformers 125 will feature two covers, one by Nick Roche that looks suitably epic, and one by Livio Ramondelli which is an excellent homage to the legendary Marvel Transformers #1 by Bill Sienkewicz.

The article finishes with a tiny bit on the two new series that will be launching next year, Transformers More than Meets the Eye and Transformers Robots in Disguise, although IDW were tight-lipped about what is going into each series, except that John Barber and James Roberts are working closely with each other, and that the events of 125 would have far reaching consequences for members of all three factions across both books. Yes, three factions - an image shown at the presentation teases at the introduction of a neutral, civilian population of Transformers aligned with neither side coming into the mix.
