Simon Furman has updated his blog with the following article covering Transformers Revelation
The news is out: the next main arc in the IDW/TF-verse series will
indeed (as previously reported) be Revelation, but instead of the usual
6-issue format it’ll play out over four interconnected Spotlights
(Cyclonus, Hardhead, Doubledealer and Sideswipe). Expect major
plotlines to be resolved as the last of the -ions (for the foreseeable)
brings the Dead Universe storyline (that’s been bubbling under ever
since Spotlight: Nightbeat) to a suitably shattering conclusion.
I’ll
be doling out the usual Script (W)raps in due course, so I’ll be
drip-feeding my own revelations over the coming weeks/months, but for
now let’s just say that the Spotlight format remains intact, with a
solid character arc in each of the four issues, plus… fallout from
Stormbringer, Spotlight Hot Rod, Spotlight Nightbeat, Spotlight
Galvatron, Spotlight Arcee and more. And when I say fallout, I mean it.
The lives and destinies of numerous main characters are altered forever
as two universes clash explosively. Oh, and don’t think this is the
end. There’s another series (no, not The 13 or All Hail Megatron) to
come, one set firmly in the ‘-ion’ continuity. More on this soon! 08 is
SO going to blow you away!
