Transformers Regeneration One #100—GEM OF THE MONTH
Simon Furman (w) • Andrew Wildman & Guido Guidi (a) • Andrew Wildman, Guidi (c)
THE GREATEST ENEMY... the greatest challenge... shall come from within. And there will be an ending. This is it, the battle the TRANSFORMERS must win, and yet dare not. The original and founding TRANSFORMERS comic comes to an epic and giant-sized conclusion, with all-out battle on CYBERTRON. Or should that be “Cybertrons”? Shocks, surprises, guest stars and more.

Sarah Stone has updated her Tumblr with Windblade Issue 3 Cover C.  The character is a little controversial although the majority of fans appear to be liking the artwork.

IDW have posted four images (the cover and three pages) from issue 1 of the Windblade series.  The series introduces the new "fan choice" character of Windblade, a female ninja seeker.

WHO IS WINDBLADE? In the aftermath of DARK CYBERTRON, WINDBLADE takes the planet by storm! But where did she come from—and what does her secret mean to the future of the TRANSFORMERS? A powerful new chapter in the TRANSFORMERS saga begins here!

Andy Wildman has spoken abou this return to the final issue of Transformers Regeneration, issue 100, in which both he and Guido Guidi will co-sketch the book.

I have begun work on the final issue of Transformers Regeneration One. I won’t be pencilling the whole book but it really is a privilege to be asked to come back in for the curtain call. 2014 is a BIG year for Transformers what with it being the 30th Anniversary so watch out for the team at a convention near you.
