Transformers IDW discussion thread [SPOILER WARNING]

[GoktimusPrime]

I missed something major, coz at the end of Spotlight Sideswipe the planet that Nightbeat was investigating turns out to be Cybertron?

Here

And what was Nightbeat's dark mission that Nova Prime declared to be pivotal? Hardhead turned Nightbeats head into an exploding watermelon and that was that.

He was an unwitting sleeper agent for Jhiaxus.

Im totally confused. Did I miss some timemachine stuff? The Dead Universe is destroyed but Jiaxus (whose power comes from said universe) is still immortal?

Jhiaxus is in a limbo between the living and dead universes where everything is virtually immortal, allowing Arcee to 'kill' him over and over and over again ad infinitum. A realm of eternal torment... sounds familiar.

Galvatron was a prime?

No, but he was part of the Autobot crew of the first Ark mission under the command of Nova Prime (aka Nemesis Prime).

And did he merge and explode with Nova Prime, at the confrontation with Optimus and both matrix's?

His fate is further revealed in the latest issue of AHM.
