This takes guts. That 12/14 release date was thrown up quite awhile ago, and I'd have less faith than the organizers here do that IDW will have it out.
This is just me being cynical though. Hope it's a blast for all who get to attend!

Still really hoping they stay with the release date. Those fans deserve it who are going to go

iTunes has dropped in and given us a 3-page preview for the upcoming IDW Lost Light #1! The preview stars 3 bots altogether, one of which is clearly bad and loves giant mechsuits while the other 2 might be explorers of sorts. Check out the 3 page preview below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!
Five years ago, Rodimus and a collection of traumatised, lovelorn and/or sarcastic Autobots set off on a quest to find Cyberutopia. So far, they've made a right hash of it. They've misplaced their map. They've lost their ship, the Lost Light, to a mutinous escapologist. Oh, and they're dead.

Has anyone else noticed the new Transformers comics have gotten a little "homoerotic" lately?

I don't know who any of these people are but I do not care, because at least they're not bloody Miles Mayhem.

Someone mentioned the "H" word (guess it was deleted) but the Tall bot actually looks kinda female to me.

No lips, though. MTMTE tends to have it's females with feminine lips, and sorta eyelashes.

Think IDW's first issue to their new comic series
Lost Light; the sequel to the critically-acclaimed
More Than Meets The Eye penned by James Roberts can't get any more covers? Well, think again! Straight from RIPT Apparel - the company responsible for the awesome
MTMTE/My Chemical Romance shirt earlier this year and another
exclusive cover for Optimus Prime #1 - comes a new exclusive cover for
Lost Light's first issue; featuring Team Rodimus guns blazing in an epic homage to the iconic poster for 1986's
The Transformers: The Movie. Check the full cover out below and tell us what you think in the forums!

Only thing it needs is More Nightbeat

I actually don't like the IDW stories. I stopped reading them altogether, but I have bought issues for the cover art, and this will probably be one of them. It's nicely done, but I am wondering about the colors? Is this related to Shattered Glass somehow

Do you mean Hot Rod's colors? We don't know yet what they mean. So far all of the covers featuring him have had him as blue instead of red for some reason that I imagine will be explained once the issue launches.

You read my mind about Nightbeat!
I want Roddy's colors to go back, he looks either emo or Decepticon. I guess I can tolerate it but I just miss the red and gold. It suits his personality better I think.

Yeah, I found it weird that Rewind's in a group shot but not Domey. And Cyclonus without Tailgate.
Lovers' quarrels I guess.

I really want to know why Rodimus has Shattered Glass colors. I mean, he can't be SG Rodimus, cause no goatee.

He's not the same without the flames. For some odd reason, he looks more like a teenager now.

Well I suppose it's Megatron's new style on this cover throwing me off. Kinda looks like he got skinnier.
It's grandpa Megatron, and he's goin crazy again.

Yeaaaah, I'm not really fond of this cover. It's pretty bland with nothing really going on, Rodimus' pose is really weird, and instead of representing the Megatron we actually have it basically shows G1 cartoon Megatron with a Fusion Cannon that got shrunk in the wash. Gimme RIPT's movie cover over this any day.

You are misunderstanding something. This is Megatron a few million years in the future when he was too weak to hold a bigger cannon and still look epic.

Never trust a comic book cover. I learnt that from reading Marvel, LoL
Well, unless it's a Rocket Racoon comic, then the giant space laser he's holding while riding a elephant will probably feature in the story

How is there a female Autobot on Luna 2 during the war. They didn't exist.
