Ok I want to talk about the upcoming Last Bot Standing miniseries. Specifically, these newly revealed comic covers. There is A TON of evidence suggesting that this series is actually set post-IDW1, as many have speculated.

1. The Sword Cover

A few unfamiliar ones, but: we have Drift’s sword, Windblade’s, Arcee’s; All specifically from IDW1. This isn’t the first time Rodimus is the “last” either, Convention comics and Regeneration One have depicted Roddy as a survivor/last of his kind in different stories. Given IDW1’s Rodimus at the end of Lost Light, this wouldn’t be a surprising outcome for his character.

2. The CLIFF FACE(S)

We all love Alex Milne’s art. If we know him for anything, it’s his flexibility and attention to the most minute detail. So I say it’s no coincidence that the characters we see in the rocks here are *specifically* IDW1 designs. Arcee, Bee, Starscream, etc look completely different in IDW2. This, to me, is the most overwhelming evidence of a post-IDW1 send-off series, honoring the series that so many of us came to love dearly.

Of course, this is all speculation, but Primus I hope I’m onto somethin’ here.

3. Whatever the fuck this cover is???

Operation: The Art Bringer

Another returning guest to the 2018 edition of TFNation is the fan-beloved artist from the big cold white North, Alex Milne!

Milne has been working as a creator for Transformers since the days of Devil’s Due Press’ GI Joe vs the Transformers, various collaborations with Fun Publications and eventually moving to regular, serialised work with Dreamwave and IDW Publishing. As the regular co-creator on Transformer: More Than Meets the Eye, Milne has rendered hearts and tears in painstaking detail, bringing some of the more expressive robot faceplates to the pages of comics.

Alongside and after MTMTE, Milne has provided covers for a range of IDW Publishing comics, Transformers and elsewhere, as well as providing interior art for an issue of Transformers: Lost Light. His most recent collaboration saw him partner once more with writer John Barber (and Christos Gage) on the prequel mini-series Rom vs The Transformers: Shining Armor - but the perhaps bigger news is his presence as artist for the upcoming Unicron: Darkest Hour #0 Free Comic Book Day issue due in May 2018.

Alex Milne will be signing autographs, selling artwork, and attempting to complete commissions at TFNation 2018, as he is always in extremely high demand.
