IDW editor Chris Ryall has updated his blog with a cover image featuring Jazz (edit: and what appears to be Razorclaw). What it's for, well, Ryall does not divulge the details, just that E.J. Su penciled it.

Stranded, outgunned and outnumbered, AUTOBOT special operative JAZZ will need every bit of his training if he is going to make it out of this one alive! As things go from bad to utterly hopeless, what chance do JAZZ and his (unwilling) compatriot have, when they’re being tracked by the DECEPTICONS’ most ruthless warriors – THE PREDACONS?
As other people have noted, the filename might be a clue. Part of the current set of Spotlights? I'd certainly be interested in a "special mission" Jazz solo story...
A Spotlight? Yeah, I figured as much myself. Seems to fit with along with the set of, at the moment, unconfirmed Spotlights. If so, my next question would be if this is the Spotlight that Simon Furman mentioned he was working on at some point in his blog? Time will tell, I guess.

That or the Spotlight that Shane McCarthy recently mentioned he'd just finished scripting over on his blog,
Its worthy to look at Jazz's chest. If you know something about cars (I know way to much to be good about it...)you'll notiche that it is the front of a NEW Porsche. So this story could be part of Universe and maybe we get an Jazz with the alt mode of a new Porsche just like they did with Sunsteaker whose alt mode resemble now a Lamborghini Gallardo.
Recently in comicnewsi.com's March 2009 solicitations page, it was revealed that writing duties for the upcoming Spotlight Jazz will go to Josh van Reyk & Shaun Knowler.

They're two of the mods at the IDW boards (Richter and Beachcomber, I think), and also involved in Mosaics. Can't recall reading anything they've written, but it's cool to see fan writers given the chance to work on something official since it's usually the artists who get drafted into the professional side of things.
