Simon Furman has updated his blog with another Script (W)rap entry.
A sort of combined deal this time around, a script (w)rap for Transformers
Nefarious #4 and also a pre-release teaser for the same, as it
hits stores this coming week (June 16th in the US, 17th in the UK).
Last issue saw Soundwave slip through the Autobots’ collective fingers
and this issue he’s decided enough is enough. The human organization
responsible for both the resurrection/usurping of Ravage and the
manipulations that landed Soundwave in trouble in the first place is
going down — hard! But the Initiative has tricks up its sleeve that,
once again, even Soundwave hasn’t seen coming. And at last we learn some
of the how and why about this mysterious and far-reaching organization
(which seems to have an uncanny grasp of Cybertronian technology) and
its coldly calculating director, Carter Newell. Just how long does his
relationship with the robots in disguise go back? What traumatic event
eventually gave rise to the Initiative? The answers will surprise you.
And, meanwhile, director of national security Theodore Galloway is well
and truly in the firing line — hunted by none other than Ransack! Things
are looking distinctly terminal in that direction! Nefarious #4 is out
in the next few days, with story by me art by the incredible Carlos
Magno. Don’t miss it!

Simon Furman has updated his blog with an entry entitled "
Transformers Nefarious #2 - Out Now!". The entry contains the cover for issue 2 as well as the entry "
The second rip-roaring issue of Nefarious, the official
comic book sequel to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, hits comic
book stores today (in the US), and tomorrow (in the UK), April 14th
& 15th respectively. And finally, Optimus Prime’s Autobots and
Soundwave’s Decepticons clash explosively — but, of course, all is not
what it seems. It suits the shadowy human collective known as The
Initiative to have the Autobots and Decepticons at each other’s throats,
largely because it stops them probing the larger mystery around the
resurrection of Ravage and the efforts of the Initiative to harvest All
Spark energy from key locations. Can Optimus Prime trust the wily and
calculating Soundwave? If not, it may just be the end for them… and for
planet Earth! Big battle action in the Utah Salt Flats, and more on
tenacious Director of National Security, Theodore Galloway, who’s doing
his own investigation. You just know that’s not going to end well! Story
is by me, art by the tremendously talented Carlos Magno. Do not miss
this one! And for more information on all IDW’s Transformers releases,
check out their website here."

Bring me the Head of Optimus Prime!
Deep in the heart of Montana, in a wild forest region, a private militia force has executed a daring plan – the capture and imprisonment of Optimus Prime. They are led by Tyler ‘Trophy’ White, a dangerous hunter with a passion for killing, stuffing and mounting rare animals and now obsessed with adding a Cybertronian skull to his macabre collection. Under his orders a small commando group launched an attack upon the Malmstrom Air Force Base, near Montana Falls, in order to acquire an NNEMP (non-nuclear electromagnetic bomb). The attack was made to look like the work of the Decepticons and enough damage was caused to attract the attention of the Autobots and roll his plan into action!

Simon Furman has updated his blog with an entry regarding the first issue of the 6-part mini-series from IDW called Transformers: Nefarious
"Been a while since I did one of these post-script digressions, so here goes with issue #1 of the upcoming Transformers: Nefarious (6-issue) mini-series from IDW, a direct sequel to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (so set in the movie-verse). My aim is to keep this as spoiler-free
as possible, but if you’d rather not even be teased, look away now!
Strictly speaking, Nefarious begins in Tales of the Fallen #5, which
features the mysterious resurrection of Ravage (and his even more
mysterious mission). But even if you don’t catch that one, issue #1
rolls full pelt into a global conspiracy of which even the Autobots and
Decepticons have been blissfully oblivious… until now. Featuring
Soundwave, Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, Ironhide, Sideswipe, Alice (yes, Alice!),
a quartet of Autobot (toy) characters making their Earth-based debut
and even four all-new, original Decepticons (you didn’t think Ravage
was Soundwave’s only special agent, did you?), the first
issue peels back some of the layers surrounding the mysterious (human)
organization known as The Initiative and the (potentially)
earth-shattering Project: Nefarious. Just how far and wide its reach
extends into the warp of weft of recent Cybertronian history (and how
much it’s about to influence their future too) will force Soundwave and
then Optimus Prime into truly desperate measures (and a clash or two
too) as they learn who’s really in charge of their destiny. And it’s
not them! Issue #1 promises lots of intrigue, action, shocks and a
final page that’ll leave you scraping your lower jaw off the floor. Do not miss this one!"
