More than meets the eye.
The Transformers are returning to comics this October, and a new variant cover for the first issue by artist Ryan Ottley may show off the type of robot carnage readers can expect in the new series.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Launching October 4, the new Transformers series comes courtesy of Skybound Entertainment, which acquired the license earlier this year and plan to relaunch it and G.I. Joe into a new shared continuity dubbed the Energon Universe. This universe officially launched in Robert Kirkman and Lorenzo De Felici's Void Rivals series.
Optimus Prime Punches Starscream’s Guts Out The scene on the cover is fitting for the artist who drew the ultra-violent superhero battles in Invincible. Ottley brings that graphic, high-octane quality to the world of the Transformers, simply replacing the blood and guts with motor oil and machine parts. Ottley’s kinetic lines basically turn Prime into a missile flying straight into Starscream’s abdomen, quite literally punching the Decepticon’s guts out in ultraviolent fashion.
The ruthless combat may also be a story point for the new series, which supposedly spins out of some great failure in the Cybertronian war that Optimus Prime feels responsible for. If Prime is dealing with the trauma of failing his Autobots somehow, it makes sense that the character might be more aggressive in battle, and eager to take that aggression out on his sworn enemies.
Whatever the case, fans definitely won’t want to miss the new Transformers series when it launches in just a few short weeks, and be on the lookout for Ryan Ottley’s excellent variant cover for the first issue.
