"Harbinger of the Unlife?"
Hmmm, interesting.
If anyone says "Ooo, ooo! It's Unicron, its gotta be. LOL!", I'll whip you ! Just you watch.

Anyhoooo, I'm finding it rather difficult to discern what exactly is going on from what we got here, it all seems a bit fragmented, rather than it being a coherent snippet, as seen from the standard five page previews for upcoming releases - which, it's pretty obvious that this is not what it is.
I am so pleased that there will be a direct tie-in to Escalation, after things were left far too open-ended than I would have preferred. By the way, isn't Ratchet's helmet supposed to be red? Er, umm, I'm just saying. At any rate, the Escalation tie-in by itself is giving me a GOOD reason to pick this up. Then second round of Spotlights have been pretty good thus far, looks like this should follow suit.

edit: No!!! The clichéd glowing disco-ball of Transform lore is in this continuity, after all?

What happened to Ratchet's red head?

Must have gone to the salon....

Oh bugger. Bit worried about the matrix stuff.

On the other hand, I think we might be seeing a more HP-Lovecraft-Old-Ones-style Galvatron than anything Unicronesque.

Wow that looks great, loving that cover too! Very mean! When's this issue out?

This does mean we've seen 7 or 8 pages of this though what with the earlier previews.

EDIT: Just found the date: 27th June. Excellent!

I too find disco balls worrying, especially when they are thrust at me in the heat of the moment.

He might get out his Hot Rod and make it grow into a Rodimus Prime!

Looking good so far. Hope for more exposition later in the issue.

Yeah, and Unicron will, like, just suddenly appear, and they'll be, like, "Look! It's Unicron!" and, and, and then Rodimus will open up a can of glowing-disco-ball-of -shattering-blue-light-whoop-ass, and....No!!!!!! We will not go there!
