Transformers writer Simon Furman have posted a new blog entry regarding the upcomign IDW release Transformers Spotlight: Cyclonus which is released this Wednesday (18th) in the US and Thursday (19th) in the UK.
But, as well as being part 1 of 4, it’s also a Spotlight, and the
character focus falls, first and foremost, on Cyclonus. But who is
IDW/TF-verse Cyclonus? Given the recent IDW reinvention of Galvatron
(in Spotlight Galvatron) it can’t be the animated movie version (as
there’s no Unicron). This Cyclonus is, nevertheless, associated to
Galvatron, inasmuch as both are/were part of the crew of the (long
missing) first Ark. But who is Cyclonus and why’s he back on Cybertron
(now a ruined, largely uninhabited husk)? And why exactly is he taking
out his considerable frustrations on Hound’s unit (comprising
Sideswipe, himself the subject of a latter Spotlight in this quartet,
Warpath, Road Rocket and Skram)? And how does Ultra Magnus get drawn
into the action? And what’s that stirring inside a cave on Corata-Vaz?
Something BIG, something terribly familiar (especially if you’ve been
following the various IDW/TF arcs of late). The Expansion (whatever
THAT is) is upon us, and the storm is well and truly raging!
