Can you imagine any other company announcing the names of the creators of their products by Twitter handles only? Morons.

John-Paul Bove (writer/colours) and Corin Howell (art), for anyone unclear.
And they're just mentioning 'The Gathering' and 'The Ascending' to push the IDW connection, since its new that IDW help with the Botcon comics. The truth is the story is set 300 years prior to those and does it's best to fit neatly within all western BW material.
Obviously there will be niggles since due to FunPub/Hasbro mandates (Megatron being present for the end of the Great War when he has always described the Decepticons as 'ancestors' being a big one, but new toy! New toy!)

For once I actually quite want to acquire this year's Botcon comic as it has a decent writer and nice chap. I may have to grab the Diamond edition.

Part of the deal with IDW is that they will be putting the issue out themselves later in the year, so it SHOULD be easier to get.

Hall of Fame nominations announced:
Favorite Transformers Character: Galvatron, Optimus Primal, Omega Supreme.
Favorite Underrated Character: Inferno, Predacon Tarantulas, Autobot Cosmos.
Best Musical Act: Steve Jablonsky, Weird Al, Lion.
I thought that underrated character idea was going to throw up some odd options. To be honest, is there any point in picking any of those from any category?

Favorite Underrated Character: Inferno, Predacon Tarantulas, Autobot Cosmos. Yes, Tarantulas. Interesting definition of 'underrated' there. And apparently they don't mean G1 Inferno (who I'd argue fits as no-one cares about him) but in fact Beast Wars Inferno. So today I learnt that BW Inferno and Tarantulas are underrated characters no-one ever cared about. |

Does the comic have 2 covers or is it a flip one? Seen 2 images unless they are showing the Nov release Timelines #12 cover too this time? Or one could be a convention extra comic - but isn't the comic strip the timelines issue or are they doing it the strip is convention only & another story in timelines #12?
