Armada Starscream?

Starscreams new body he talked about in issue #20.

At first I thought that it was Optimus, Rodimus and Punch in the foreground, until I realized that Bumblebee looks like that now.

Is that a claw-handed Metrotitan in the background?

Or Metroplex. Likely Metroplex zombified by Shockwave in a homage/ripoff of the 'Metrotitan is a zombie Metroplex' thing.

Yeah, New!Goldbug really does look like Punch. I don't like the new Goldbug body, but I dislike the WFC Bumblebee body as well. So, um, yeah. I'm not really crazy about G1 Starscream looking like Armadascream as well.

Who's that green dude on the other side of Shockwave's head that isn't Waspinator? I fail to recognize him.

At first I wanted to say Grimlock, but I think it's actually just a really funky-coloured Dreadwing.

With both this and the issue zero of Reg thing both being in a similar format but not named as such, do we take it the Annuals didn't do as well as expected last year?

I suspect the bots on the cover are the "big" players of the series.

Looking forward to Rodimus and Bumble interacting again. Would love to see how Rodimus reacts to the whole Decepticon uprising thing when he's face to face with a Starscream ruling Cybertron versus a Shockwave ruling Decepticons.

Ah, yes, Dreadwing! I thought it would be Grimlock too, but the head and kibble are all wrong.
