As mentioned a few weeks back, the second of the Transformers: Fall of Cybertron DLC packs will be released next Tuesday. The "Dinobot Destructor Pack" adds the Dinobots (Grimlock, Swoop, Slag/Slug, and Snarl)) for use in the multiplayer for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC- Dinosaur modes and all. There is no price listed at this time. Matt Tieger talks a little about the process and the challenge of bringing the Dinobots into multiplayer over on The Verge, and he also teases a big "maaaaybe" on more single player content via DLC.

The Transformers Collectors Club has updated their website with a comic preview, featuring the characters from the upcoming Subscription Service.

TCC members, here is an ADVANCE look at the Epilogue for this years TCC Magazine Comic story "A Flash Forward". While this was set to debut in print in Issue 48 of the TCC Magazine (following the conclusion of this years comic story), we decided that due to the fast approaching deadline for the TFSS, and all the interest in who and where these characters are from, to put the Epilogue online for all to enjoy!

Do not worry though, the Epilogue is spoiler free in regard to "A Flash Forward." What it does do though is give you a sneak peak in to NEXT years comic story. The 2013 TCC Magazine story will follow the events of "Transformers Invasion", so we will be switching to the Shattered Glass Universe. But we will say this. It is not at all what many of you will be expecting!

Swing on by their website for a look at the comic preview.

Megatron does his best to distract Optimus from the reality of a weapon of legend belonging to the Primes, which if discovered, could change the entire outcome of the war; Jack and his new Autobot companion set out on a mission.
