Simon Furman has once again updated his blog, this time concerning Spotlight: Blaster, which according to Diamond Comics is to be released on Wednesday the 23rd of January 2008.

Furman assures readers that Spotlight: Blaster is a very much self-contained issue, an entry level issue if you will, before giving away a relatively spoiler free synopsis of what to expect:

Betrayed, left for dead, someone went to great lengths to silence ‘The Voice,’ and now—with Blaster returned to the fold—they set out to finish what they started. With guest appearances by the likes of Silverbolt, Bluestreak, Beachcomber, Trailbreaker and Cosmos, plus a Decepticon or two, Spotlight Blaster has something for everyone: mystery, intrigue, action, character development.

Art duties will be handled by Emiliano Santalucia, his debut work for IDW Publishing.

As previously reported here, IDW will be releasing an official comic-book continuation of the Transformers Movie, under the name "The Reign of Starscream".

See a brief summary of this new comic series, as well as two covers (one paying homage to the classic Marvel Transformers #5), on the IDW Solicitations page by clicking here.

The official continuation of the blockbuster TRANSFORMERS movie begins here! When MEGATRON falls in battle, STARSCREAM assumes the role of DECEPTICON leader on Earth. Mustering his surviving allies, he sets out to put his own plan in motion. But before he can do that, he’ll need to retrieve a fallen comrade, carry out a plan of revenge, and leave the Earth to meet up with a major player in the DECEPTICON army. Picking up where the film ended, “The Reign of Starscream” also reveals the fates of other surviving film characters, as co-writers Chris Ryall (Transformers Movie Prequel) and Chris Mowry present a tale of intrigue, betrayal, and dark ambition featuring both old and all-new TRANSFORMERS characters. Featuring art from fan-favorite illustrator Alex Milne (Transformers Movie Adaptation) and covers by Milne and Gabriel Rodriguez (Locke & Key). Ask your retailer how to get a variant cover by James Raiz, too!

Seibertron's own Black Bumblebee has alerted us to the fact that "War Within Animated" Episode #1 has been finished and is now available for download from tfcog.com.

For those new to the project, it is an attempt to take a comic book series and "animate" it through use of photoshop and similar programs.

Black Bumblebee also notes that there is no set date for episode #2 as yet:

...and for those wondering when part two will come out, well, you may have to wait a while. These things take a "bit" of time...

Simon Furman has once again updated his blog, this time with a relatively spoiler free update on Titan UK issue #9:

‘Twilight’s Last Gleaming pt1′ (of 5) delivers an entirely alternate take on the climactic scenes in which Megatron sought to claim the All Spark, only to be denied by Sam Witwicky. In the new UK continuity, things didn’t end quite so neatly, and in part 1 we look in on a world now ruled (in a large part) by Megatron and the Decepticons, with the few Autobots (and humans) still at large fighting for survival.

Furman has also included some preview art, showing that the comic cast is not Movie only inclusive:

If you thought the first picture of Spotlight Arcee's main character was of a violent, and vicious Arcee, take a look at this second interior picture.




You can see the original IDW forum thread here. If you scroll further down in the thread Denyer also includes a recent Chris Ryall interview.

Arcee used to be a thing of TF dreams, is she now a part of TF nightmares??? We only have to wait until February to find out!
