Actualy Spinster who was presumed dead (or at least he vanished after Carnivac shot him) was also seen in 80.5, so I guess the UK deaths didn't take. I hope we see some non Geewun characters getting some meaningful face time too.

I'd class that event (along with all the Survivors/Earthforce stories) as part of the alternate present that never really fit in with the US stories.
It would be great if Regeneration One actually set up and left space for those stories to take place but it would be a reach.
Guido's even cooler cover reveals that Kup's life is no more peachy in IDW's parallel Marvel Universe:

(Although Astrotrain's life looks like even less of a walk in the park.)
I hope that cover means what I think it means: that all the Decepticons deactivated during the Underbase saga have been in "cold storage" on Earth. That was a loose end that was never wrapped up to my liking.
Okay just to be clear - these covers are just that - covers right? the comics aint out yet on mass retail right?
