IDW Transformers ongoing [spoilers]

I thought he was backward engineering the badges that prevented humans getting more than a 6 mile radius of a TF location, that is until I saw the size of the ones Bee and his team were wearing.

If Hotrod has combiner tech, then wouldn't the constructicons be a better option, especially since they'd probably end up joining with the Stunitcons

And to prove how wrong I was, out comes a cover for Ongoing #6

be warned there are also spoilers for the entire Wreckers comic...

I also don't understand why IDW has a need to spoil the reader 3-5 issues ahead with ill thought out press announcements and covers.

I have a feeling that Hot Rod asked Jetfire to upgrade the cons with the combiner tech.
smart move.

It'd be smarter if he assembled a gestalt team comprised of both Autobots and Decepticons. That way it would keep the gestalt loyal to the Autobot-Decepticon alliance and prevent betrayal to either side. It would be neat to see a gestalt made up of a mish-mash of Stunticons, Combaticons, Protectobots, Aerialbots etc., à la Scramble City and just like the way we used to play with them as kids. ;D

However I imagine that one problem with this is that a combined Autobot-Decepticon gestalt mind would be hideously unstable. Gestalt minds can be unstable enough as they are, even when solely comprised of members of their own team; e.g.: Devastator (each Constructicon is too self-interested to sufficiently cooperate, causing much confusion in Devastator's mind), Menasor (all the Stunticons hate Motormaster) etc. -- the animosity and distrust between the Autobot and Decepticon members of a mixed team could potentially drive the gestalt insane and potentially leave them with another Monstructor on their hands. Heh, that would be kinda cool actually... but I can see why Hot Rod & Co. would be hesitant against creating an Autobot-Decepticon gestalt.

Perhaps Jetfire could install three buttons on the gestalt's back that shuts it down when they're all pressed!

I agree with i_amtrunks: I like Ultra Magnus here. Strictly professional. And even though I'm not fond of the hybrid moofie-neo-G1 art style, I must admit that I fangasmed over seeing Ultra Magnus transform. ;D

Issue 4 is the best issue of this series yet IMHO and I enjoyed it's Spotlight type take on Thundercracker while it still developed the subplots. Keep up the good work IDW.

#4: the Andy Wildman cover is so pretty. Plus, Voyager Sea Spray was in it!

The new one comes out tomorrow. I'm waiting with baited breath.

I think you're over thinking it there. They could still do it.
