I think it's a fantastic plot device, and we know Roberts will do an amazing job with it - Megatron as the only Decepticon on a spaceship full of Autobots - what could go wrong? Meggy's point in MTMTE #27 was that he was at his best when he was still a nonviolent revolutionary, before he started the war (and the first word of his motto is "peace"). It reminds me of Transformers UK#83, which is still one of the best TF comics ever.
