Transformers All Hail Megatron writer Shane McCarthy was recently on breakfast TV in his native Australia.

Watch the video

ROTF previewMay 23: Fallen #2 - the first five pages

Plus, could this be our first glimpse (in comics anyway) of the Fallen? Check out the preview on the boards and order the comic here.


All Hail Megatron CodaMay 15: First look at Revenge of the Fallen
A five-page preview of the official Transformers Revenge of the Fallen comic adaptation is now on the OneShallStand boards.

The adaptation has been written by Simon Furman and will be released in four parts in May/June. Order it here and read the preview.


All Hail Megatron CodaMay 11: Sunstreaker's betrayal is revealed

All Hail MegatronApr 26: AHM #13 is lucky for some!
IDW's 12-part All Hail Megatron comic is to be extended by four issues by "popular demand". Issues 13-16 (previously announced as AHM Coda) will set the scene for an ongoing Transformers series later this year. AHM #13 is drawn by fan favourite artist Don Figueroa and sees the Decepticons probe the secrets of the Matrix! Order the series here


All Hail Megatron 10Apr 18: With friends like these...
Megatron may have led the Decepticons to their greatest victory, but if he thinks his troops will be eternally grateful, he'd better think again!

Scans pageApr 18: Ratchet's battle to save Optimus Prime
It's back to the 1980s on our scans page where we've uploaded the Marvel story Funeral For A Friend. Ratchet is grief stricken at his failure to repair the fallen Optimus Prime, and a new human enemy is waiting in the wings to inflict still more pain. Plus Totalled! - the story of Grimlock and Blaster's duel on the Moon. More


AHM Coda comicApr 18: Coda to feature 11-page Ironhide story
Simon Furman has penned a new 11-page story about Ironhide's friendship with Optimus Prime. It seems the battle-scarred veteran and the Autobot's greatest leader didn't exactly get off on the right foot, but over time their relationship has "metamophosed into mutual trust and respect", says Simon. The story will be one of eight in July's All Hail Megatron Coda series. Order the comics here. More


click for moreApr 10: Drift - Autobot, Decepticon, or other?
The mystery of who exactly is Drift is answered (sort of) in a new spotlight featuring the newest, sword-weilding Autobot. He may now be an integral part of Kup's Wreckers but before that Drift fought for the enemy. What made him change his mind? Check out Spotlight Drift by Shane McCarthy for the answers, plus a new Decepticon commander makes his comics debut.


Simon FurmanApr 01: Simon Furman returns
Transformers scribe Simon Furman has updated his blog following a two-month silence. He's been busy (as you would expect) on a host of projects including two 'top secret' Transformers spotlights. Furman also confirmed he's written an Optimus Prime/Ironhide story for issue #1 (he thinks) of All Hail Megatron Coda. More


click for moreMar 31: Comic price rises on hold... for now
Plans by comic store supplier Diamond to raise cover prices by up to 21p are on hold. The company, which holds a monopoly, already hiked wholesale prices by 24p in December due to the pound nose-diving in value against the US dollar. It warned stores to brace for a further increase today but but decided the exchange rate had improved enough to render the move unnecessary. Discuss


AHM #8 previewsMar 07: All Hail Megatron #8 previews
A five page preview of Transformers: All Hail Megatron #8 has been posted on the OneShallStand boards. It begins with Sunstreaker following surgery to seperate him from Hunter, and continues with more emotional turmoil - this time from a guilt-ridden Ironhide. This is the issue where we learn the identity of the Autobot traitor so order your copy now. It will be in store on March 12th. More


click for moreMar 07: Spotlight Cliffjumper announced
Buses come in threes and it seems Transformers spotlights come in fives. Completing the latest wave of Blurr, Jazz, Drift and Metroplex, is Cliffjumper. His brief appearance in AHM #4 left fans clamouring for more and writer Shane McCarthy will oblige in the summer. Covers by Robby Musso and Casey Coller have been unveiled at Ryall Time


click for moreMar 07: Metroplex wraparound cover unveiled
Whoever said size doesn't matter has obviously never met Metroplex. The sheer scale of this city-sized Transformer will be apparent in his spotlight comic in July, and is evident from this wrap-around cover guest-starring Sixshot, Goldbug(!) and the Throttlebots, which appeared this week on Chris Ryall's blog.


click for moreFeb 12: After AHM comes Coda
Anyone wondering how All Hail Megatron fits with previous IDW stories are about to get their continuity questions answered. It's courtesy of a new four parter this summer called All Hail Megatron Coda. Each issue will contain two 11 page stories bridging the gap and setting the scene for "something big" in the Autumn. Shane McCarthy, Simon Furman and Nick Roche will pen stories. More


click for moreFeb 12: Hands up who wants to see Metroplex
IDW is to release a Metroplex spotlight in July. To do this enormous character justice the "entire story is double-page spreads except pages 1 and 22" said writer Andy Schmidt. Marcello Matere, who drew Spotlight Ultra Magnus, is providing the art. The project was announced at the New York Comic Con on Sunday February 9.


click for moreFeb 11: Exhalt that gestalt: Devastator's best bits
The scans page has updated with two classic Marvel Transformers stories starring Devastator. The Next Best Thing to Being There features the creation of the Constructicons and Devastation Derby is another crowd pleaser, pitching the Autobots against Devastator, in a bit to save their human friend Buster Witwicky. More


click for moreFeb 01: Trypticon puts his foot down!
The cover April's Transformers City of Fear #3 has been revealed by IDW editor Denton Tipton in his From the Tip blog. It's got Trypticon doing what he does best, stomping on smaller robots. The cover is by Andrew Griffith and the story reprints the Marvel classic 'Meltdown' in which the Wreckers and Trypticon join forces against an army of zombies with Cybertron's fate in the balance.

IDW boss Chris Ryall has confirmed to this site that Transformers Animated Arrival #6 has been scrapped. The story will now only be available in an upcoming trade paperback.
