Check them out and order AHM Coda here.  Jun 03: Transformers writer on Australian TVTransformers All Hail Megatron writer Shane McCarthy was recently on breakfast TV in his native Australia. In a fun 12 minute interview he talks about writing Batman and Transformers, how he got into the industry, fans reactions, and his hobby - teaching 1930s dancing! He comes across pretty well. Watch the video  May 23: More tales of the FallenIf the Revenge of the Fallen movie leaves you wanting more, then never fear. IDW has new five comic series in the pipeline called "Tales of the Fallen" set around the new film. Issue #1 catches up with Sam Witwicky, two years older, growing estranged from his buddy BUMBLEBEE and being watched by the DECEPTICONS. You can preorder issue #1 or all five comics here.  May 23: Fallen #2 - the first five pages It's hard to keep a bad guy down, and even a bottomless pit in the ocean isn't enough to hold Megatron. He's back for a reckoning with his second-in-command Starscream in #2 of the Revenge of the Fallen: the official comic adaptation. 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.  May 15: First look at Revenge of the FallenA five-page preview of the official Transformers Revenge of the Fallen comic adaptation is now on the OneShallStand boards. It starts off in Earth's distant past and switches to the present with Optimus Prime freefalling out of a plane. 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.  May 11: Sunstreaker's betrayal is revealedSo now we know, Sunstreaker is the traitor whose betrayal paved the way for the Autobots' greatest defeat. In All Hail Megatron #14 (Coda part 2) we'll find out why it happened, and the comic's second story will see the return of Galvatron and Cyclonus. IDW has revealed the cover of AHM #14. See it here  Apr 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  Apr 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! Bored and directionless, the Decepticons turn on their leader. Who will stand and who falls? Find out in issue 10 of All Hail Megatron on sale here. Plus a certain fan-favourite Autobot returns!  Apr 18: Maximum Dinobots goes out with roar!The five-part Maximum Dinobots comic reaches its epic conclusion in issue #5 with battles galore! It's Shockwave versus Scorponok, Grimlock versus Shockwave, the Dinobots versus everyone - and Ultra Magnus there to pick up the pieces! Plus the resolution on long-running plot threads regarding Hunter/Sunstreaker and Soundwave. Pick up your copy today!  Apr 18: Ratchet's battle to save Optimus PrimeIt'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  Apr 18: Coda to feature 11-page Ironhide storySimon 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  Apr 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.  Apr 01: Simon Furman returnsTransformers 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  Mar 31: Comic price rises on hold... for nowPlans 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  Mar 07: All Hail Megatron #8 previewsA 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  Mar 07: Spotlight Cliffjumper announcedBuses 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  Mar 07: Metroplex wraparound cover unveiledWhoever 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.  Feb 12: After AHM comes CodaAnyone 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  Feb 12: Hands up who wants to see MetroplexIDW 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.  Feb 11: Exhalt that gestalt: Devastator's best bitsThe 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  Feb 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. Buy it. Jan 31: Su returns for All Hail Megatron #7Transformers Devastation artist EJ Su is back on main book duties for All Hail Megatron #7 (on sale here). He's filling in for Guido Guidi and a five page preview is on the OneShallStand boards. The pages depict the creation of the Insecticons plus a swarm of botched attempts, and the Decepticon seekers appear to have reverted to their redesigned pre-AHM forms. More.  Jan 22: Transformers Animated comics are axed!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. Chris suggested Hasbro had a hand in the decision without elaborating. It comes after Titan publishing called time on its TF Animated UK comic in December after only three issues. More Jan 15: An interview with Shane McCarthyAll Hail Megatron and Spotlights writer Shane McCarthy has been speaking his mind in an interview with OneShallStand.com. In it he tackles continuity gripes and other criticisms of AHM head-on and drops hints of what's to come. Shane also shares his thoughts on what its like to work at IDW and his future plans. More.  Jan 14: Movie-verse gets its War Within?Writer Chris Mowry will be taking readers WAY back in time in his latest Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Prequel comic 'Defiance'. The War Within-style series is set on Cybertron before the outbreak of war and sees Megatron as the planet's defender and Starscream being friends with Ratchet and Ironhide. How long can it last? See a five page preview and order the series here.  Jan 05: Grimlock's far from happy reunionGrimlock hasn't seen his fellow Dinobots for thousands of years but its far from a happy reunion in Maximum Dinobots #2 (out this month). The dinos are under human control and are about to turn on their former leader. Someone else having a bad day is Hot Rod who's taking a pasting from Scorponok, the architect of all this misfortune. Read a five page preview and buy Maximum Dinobots #2 here.
