It's been reported that this year's Dairycon PreReg exclusive will be
called 'Domino'.

"As in previous years, there will be multiple exclusives", A Dairyon
spokesman was quoted as saying. "Normally, we keep these quiet until
the day of the show. This year, we thought we'd let you know early."

Why? Because as it turns out, this year's PreReg exclusive will be the
very last one produced. Those familiar with past Dairycon Exclusives
(such as FlatFoot, or Checkers) will want to complete their set.

As always, the Dairycon Pre-Reg Exclusive will be highly collectible,
produced in extremely limited quantities, and packaged in their unique
Dairycon-style packaging.

A high quality, limited edition collectible that's always completely
given out the day of the show, this item will never be produced again.
So don't miss out!

If you haven't yet Registered for Dairycon 2008, there's still an
opportunity:

As we earlier reported here, Simon Furman has released some information about an upcoming series that he himself calls "epic".

It would seem as though more details have been leaked by none other than IDW Publishing Editor in Chief Chris Ryall; who has this to say in response to questions from Seibertron's own Grifter Prime:

Q: By the way, not really knowing that I might get an answer, but any BIG Transformer stories or news this year coming up?

A: Biiig things for the TFs this year, yeah, something no one knows about yet.

Q: The dead universe? Or is it the story that goes WAY back in the TF History?

A: Neither one, actually. Although we're also going to do the TF origins this year, too. That one will be called "The Thirteen."

Ryall also preceded to provide this link, which will take you to the "Swear Allegiance" teaser Image that we earlier reported here.

One could assume that the TF Origins series would be referring to the IDW Publishing version of the Original 13, but as yet it cannot yet be confirmed.
