To support Professor Smooth's 'Buy My Cover' series of inteviews, Transformers Artist Guido Guidi has been kind enough to supply us with the pencils for the 4 different covers he submitted to IDW for his Transformers: Infiltration #1 cover.
The first cover revealed yesterday depicted the Decepticon Triplechangers Blitzwing and Astrotrain. The second again features Blitzwing but this time he is transfoming though all three modes to engage the Autobots in battle! See it here!

We will reveal one unused cover, plus the pencils for the Bumblebee cover that was finally chosen as Transformers: Infiltration #1 cover, each day leading up to the final 'Buy My Cover' Interview with James Raiz, so watch this space!

You can read all the 'Buy My Cover' Interviews so far with Andy Wildman, E.J. Su and Guido Guidi, plus many other Transformers releated interviews here in the SEIBERTRON.com Interviews Section!

TFormers have received images of Alternators Swindle in the new 'Bubble-style' packaging from EasyNet.
Like Alternators Tracks it appears Swindle will reappear in future waves of Alternators. However, the artwork differs from the US releases so far in that it depicts the actual toy, similar to the European Transformers Cybertron releases, could this be set for the European market?
See the images here at TFormers.
