Comic review: Robots in Disguise ongoing

[Paulbot]

I'm reading this series on my phone via Comixology so on the first read I didn't notice the finer details of that last splash page. I thought Wheeljack was there by choice. That he isn't makes me wonder what Prowl's plan will be since it doesn't look like he can convince another rational Autobot of its merits. Or Prowl is playing along for some reason...

I wonder how the MTMTE series fits in too, but I guess Rodimus, Magnus, Drift, and the sheer number of Autobots on the Lost Light were another lot of support for the Autobots that had to be moved off the board. Good to see the randomness and loose ends of the "in wild" story being touched on as part of the greater plan.

The Dirge/Swindle/Arcee stuff has me beat too. This is the first time with this series where the cliffhanger really does make me impatient for the next issue.

So you thinking that the datapad was being held by Ironhide too? I wonder if the wild, getting rid of the Autobot warriors was part of Prowls plan too? Could Megatron being in the wilderness have been a front, was Prowl hiding him (in the black room?) all along?. Obviously, Prowl did not know of the D-void or the big reformatting, but could his and Megatrons conversation waaay back in Chaos have been the setup for this? Surely that would be too convenient right?

As for Dirge/Swindle, I am not sure if Arcee is going against Prowl's plan/getting cold feet, or is following the plan to the letter. Prowl wants Starscream in the least to say he killed some Cons, then have the Cons reveal themselves to be alive and make Starscream look incompetent/lying. If Arcee is going behind Prowl's back, has he planned for it? having Cons going out in the mob protected by (poor, used) Blurr is not the safest or most guaranteed delivery method.

Finally, I read somewhere that Prowl might be under Con influence (Bombshell?) or that he is manipulating the Cons after changes to them made in the black room, ala Kup. Man I miss Kup from being in these stories. Infestation was such a waste.

And Paulbot, go buy this issue, if only for the splash pages, they are beautiful in print, and you'll lose a little bit of how wonderful in the trade. We need a new, properly done art of IDW, just from the ongoing onwards, with the two from this issue front and centre.

Very superficial question, but...

With three of the four main Decepticons (Shockwave, Soundwave and Starscream) adoping WFC/FOC Robot and Alt modes... Do you think they'll draw Megatron as per his black, WFC toy?

I think one of the covers has him as his Ongoing earth form so I guess not. But would've been nice.
