In a thread over on the IDW message board regarding All Hail Megatron issue 1, Chris Ryall posted a little comment regarding the upcoming Transformers Animated comic
"There's also the TF Animated Series we're doing. We got advances of issue 1 today, and man, it came out great. That book's gonna be a lot of fun."

Chris Ryall has updated his blog again, this time with the cover and another preview page from their up coming Transformers The Ark II book.
The book features original Hasbro / Takara designs for the Generation One Transformers, taken from the series bibles.

Chris McFeely has reported that the IDW trade paper back version of the Beast Wars Sourcebook is going to feature updated artwork, colouring and corrected spelling.

IDW Publishing's Editor in Chief Chris Ryall has updated his blog with information and images from the upcoming Revelations #4: Spotlight Sideswipe.

Chris Ryall updated his blog twice yesterday with the second update about a Apocalypse Comics exclusive cover for IDWs All Hail Megatron issue 1. The cover is drawn by Casey Coller with colours by Josh
Perez. The cover is a homage to the classic Brian Bolland BATMAN: THE KILLING JOKE image. The cover has extra meaning for Casey as he had to draw this in the wake of the death of his sister through Cancer. Our condolences go out to Casey and his family.

Chris Ryall has updated his blog with some preview images of the June Transformers Spotlight, only with a bit of a twist. He doesn't mention the name nor the artist, instead inviting people to guess. From the last image, the Transformer appears to be Wheelie but you can view the images and post your response over on Chris' blog.
There is a new Q&A thread over at the IDW forums where you can post questions for Simon Furman and Chris Ryall. The best 20 questions will then be picked for them to answer
When asked whether the Transformers Movie "Search for Starscream" series was still in the pipeline, after the announcement of the second Transformers Movie, Chris Ryall replied with the following comment.
"[snip]There are multiple Spotlight issues in the works, this series, some other series set in the past, and one big thing coming. For starters. 2008's gonna be a lot of fun."

Over on the IDW message board, Chris Ryall has responded to some of the negative feedback that IDW have received over last weeks release of the Beast Wars Sourcebook issue 1. Here's what Chris had to say
Hey, everyone--
In the time we've been doing Transformers comics, there have been highs
and lows for the fans, I know. As there's going to be on anything --
some projects work better than others, for various reasons.
This one seems to be ranking somewhere near the first issue of the
TF Animated Series for most of you, from the responses I've seen.
Which sucks all around--the last thing we want to do is release
product that doesn't work for you. Especially since this particular
book took so long to finally arrive. And because so many artists and
colorists labored over it. And because Simon and Ben Yee did the same,
and then waited patiently for the book to finally be assembled and
released.
So for the person who just e-mailed me very angry and said "once
again, IDW screws its fans," well, that's hardly true and hardly a
sound approach to business, I would think. And nothing we would ever
set out to do.
So what happened?
That's a good question. But there's really no need for me to make
excuses or air any beasty-smelling laundry, so I'll just say that the
book is, like everything we publish, ultimately my responsibility. This
book was one that sort of slipped through the crack while I was dealing
with an editorial shift, and it went out with some errors. Book Two was
completed during this same period. But Andrew is here as the TF Editor
now, and is extremely competent and he and I will do what we can to
ensure the rest of the books are produced as they should be. As many
errors are able to be corrected in the collected version will be fixed,
too.
I know that this book was a bit of a disappointment for fans who
waited so long. Transition with art teams or editorial teams can cause
hiccups that are evidenced in the finished product, but certainly not
on purpose.
So know that I share your pain on this--maybe moreso, since so many
people have shared their pain with me--but also know that putting out
something you don't love is never our intent. We'll get 'em next time.
Thanks to The Allspark for reporting on a post by IDW's Chris Ryall concerning a meeting he had with Hasbro. The meeting touched on an animated version of IDW's Transformers Movie Prequal comics (set to be a Wal-mart exclusive) as well as showing him the Transformers Animated movie (first three episodes).
Simon Furman has updated his blog with information that he, Nick Roche and Chris Ryall will all be at Orbital Comics in London for signings.
