Transformers IDW discussion thread [SPOILER WARNING]

[i_amtrunks]

Another possibility I'm giddy at is what if Megatron and Starscream defeat the Reapers and as a result are viewed as heroes by the Earth population. The bigwigs in Skywatch might know otherwise but to the public they're adoring the big new alien robots. And with that adulation, Megatron gets more Ore-13 and precious Earth energon to lead into the All Hail Megatron event this summer? It's a bit far fetched but that would be an awesome twist. The Autobots then would be seen as villains by Earth. IDW's version of Megatron seems savy enough to do this. Recall his lines in #5 when he sees what Astrotrain, Blitzwing and co. were doing behind his back? I think it'd make Megs all that more sinister and creepy.

And I assume Optimus has instructed Hound's team to no longer to go to Earth. I'm interested whether Sideswipe will defy those orders and go to Earth anyway. Also would love to see his reaction to Sunstreaker.

That's almost the same thinking as myself. Except I expect Hot Rod and maybe even Nightbeat to hang back on Earth, Sideswipe, and even Grimlock will probably team up with them.

I am not sure what Arcee will be doing, but I agree, breaking Monstructor out (perhaps as another Jhiaxus experiment) makes sense. I'd love to see Springer and the Wreckers introduced in the next "-tion" book helping Prime out.

I expect Galvatron to team up with the Decepticons, in an effort to overthrow Nemesis Prime.

Thoughts on this? It's supposed to be incontinuity... just feels like a bad move to me.

Nice to see Steve Buccellato doing some pencils, I only ever recalled him as a colourist on the Uncanny X-Men book.

Yeah it's very odd for Furman to spoil maybe 6 months(?) worth of comics.

I think its a good move, we all had guessed at least some of the plot points that are mentioned.

Also Hunter never mentions the outcomes of any of his experiences. All we really know is that Hunter/Sunstreaker fight Scorponok, see the Dead Universe, ally with Grimlock and fight a full Decepticon alliance, and survives.

We know no details, outcomes, or consequences. Hell at the end of the "-tion" series it could very well be Sunstreaker vs. the Decepticons!

All it's done is spell out all the future plot points that have had plenty of clues and hints left around beforehand.
