Simon Furman has upated his blog with an entry regarding the latest IDW spotlight, Transformers Spotlight: Doubledealer. The story is the third part of the Revelation with Simon promising that things "kick into high gear" in this issue.
"the Dead Universe cast (Nemesis Prime, Cyclonus, Galvatron, Straxus, Grindcore and Jhiaxus) make their presence well and truly felt. As two universes begin to mesh, perhaps irrevocably, the Autobots struggle to understand exactly what has been set in motion (and how to stop it). They need answers, and what better place to get them than from âthe font of all knowledge, known and unknownâ (aka The Magnificence). Last seen in Spotlight: Hot Rod, this mysterious alien artefact has been carefully hidden away ever since, but nowâwith the end of everything loomingâit may be the universeâs last best hope. Itâs up to Hot Rod and Dealer to retrieve the Magnificence, but (unknown to Hot Rod) Dealer has only his own interests at heart. Dealerâs dalliances with Banzaitronâs Decepticon secret service earned him the sobriquet Doubledealer, and heâs about to make it his own by ensuring that the job he started in Spotlight: Hot Rod is comprehensively finished this time around. Deceptions, doublecrosses and deceit abound as events steam headlong towards their shocking conclusion. Plus, more on the Autobot âPretenders,â Optimus Prime vs Nemesis Prime (at last!) and a shocking reappearance by ... well, wait and see. Transformers Spotlight: Doubledealer hits stores this Wednesday (20th) in the US, Thursday (21st) in the UK. Interior art is by Dan Khanna, with covers by EJ Su and Nick Roche."
