Who is about to take on the Autobots AND Decepticons? That’s exactly what Skybound is teasing with the covers revealed for Transformers #16. And it seems like a third group may be entering the fray.
While the new Transformers — if they are new Transformers — aren’t necessarily seen on the covers (there is one “spoiler” cover yet to be revealed), we do know that in Transformers #15 that “Optimus Prime and Wheeljack search for the answers to a mystery that may change everything they knew.”
Certainly, a third faction of robots in disguise would fit that bill. And that seems to be what Skybound is getting at with the synopsis to Transformers #16, which says simply, “Autobots vs Decepticons vs !”
So, who is it? Another group of Transformers, like perhaps the Maximals or Predacons? Or perhaps it’s out of something left field (my money is on Care Bears). We’ll just have to read to find out.
