THE TRANSFORMERS: ESCALATION #2
Simon Furman (w), E.J. Su (a) Su, Scherwinski (c)
The shocking events of last issue leave the AUTOBOTS reeling. Their number
diminished by one, they struggle to come to terms with the whys and wherefores of the
Lebanon interception. Similarly, the two humans still standing want answers… and
action! And, as if this wasn’t enough to contend with, the true, staggering scope of the
DECEPTICON Infiltration gambit is revealed! The The Transformers: Infiltration team of
Simon Furman and E.J. Su continues the ongoing tale. Artist Klaus Scherwinski will
provide a variant cover for each issue, too. Covers will be shipped in a 1-to-1 ratio.

Chuck Dixon (w), Guido Guidi (a & c)
Ever wondered what form your favorite TRANSFORMERS would take if they existed in
different eras? Wonder no more, as IDW’s new Evolutions line debuts with “Hearts of
Steel,” writer Chuck Dixon and artists Guido Guidi transplant the ‘bots to the Industrial
Revolution, where a charismatic hammer-man named John Henry discovers that a steam
drill is really an alien robot named BUMBLEBEE. Before he can process this
information, the pair are attacked by DECEPTICONS disguised as tanks, trains and
walking engines. Is this all part of a larger scheme by STARSCREAM? And if so, will
the other AUTOBOTS arrive in time to stop his nefarious plans?
