That's all I'll say without ruining it for anyone who does not know how this story pans out.

It's not really a spoiler, especially if you read "War Within #1."

Don't even have to read "The War Within" to know what's coming.

Also are they officially connecting War Within to IDW?

Not really. Has IDW made any claims that War Within flows into their continuity?
It was a pretty safe assumption to make, though. For Megatron to become THE big, evil badass he has to kill the big, good badass.

Nope it's not Black Zarak it's (potential spoiler) Sentinel Prime.
War Within can't fit into the IDW G1 continuity because Optimus has the Matrix in WW and doesn't in IDW. Where the Matrix ended up should be hinted at in the Prime Spotlight and play out more fully in Revelation.

If I remember right, Optimus had just recieved the Matrix in War Within. Besides, it's unlikely WWi plays a part in the IDW universe, simply because that material is copyrighted by another (albeit defunct) company.
It was a pretty safe assumption to make, though. For Megatron to become THE big, evil badass he has to kill the big, good badass.
I see it more in line with the idea that for Optimus to be in command in the (chronologically) later series, Sentinel has to go. In some ways, this series also explains how Optimus rose to power in the Autobot ranks, though it doesn't look like he's gonna show up in this series (unless there's an epilogue in the last issue.)

Not legally it may not. But Sentunel Prime/WWI/Prime inheiriting the Matrix is a decently large contiuity. And certainly in the step of Megatron. And IDW appears to want to use as many of the loose strings we already have as possible
