Furman speaks out about Transformers: Stormbringer

“NO… HUMANS… IN… STORMBRINGER…”

So says writer Simon Furman.  The Dream Team that brough us “War Within” “Worlds Collide” and now “Beast Wars” will check out what the heck is happening on Cybertron while “Infiltration” is progressing on Earth.

Newsarama has 5 pages of the book,  which sees Jetfire and the Technobots returning to Cybertron after it apparently was abandoned a long, long time ago.  Furman also confirms Thunderwing (pictured) is in fact the ‘big bad’ for this story, and that he’s been slightly re-imagined so his Pretender origins aren’t so hokey.  Frankly, I was amazed Simon Furman made a lot of the hokier G1, Armada, and Energon concepts so interesting with his writing, so if he’s going to re-write the rules here, I’ll trust him.
