I hope not, it's already geewun enough thanks.

I'd also Like to know why Jazz and Grimlock seem to be sitting back and letting Hotrod call the shots, they are both experienced leaders in the IDW multiverse.

So far grimlock hasnt been seen since the end of maxim dinobots but when he does show up again I have no doubt he'll have something to say about the autobots leadership. As for jazz, jetfire and anyone else likely to step up and fill optimus shoes they might have something to say in this issues remember its only a preview.

But I do think galvatron is going to take over as leader of the cons. Megatron is apparently dead and if they weren't going to use galvatron I dont think they would of given him a story in ahm

I'm simultaneously very interested, yet very scared, to see what would be involved in Maxim Dinobots.

Although regarding leaders, the teasers indicate some sort of leadership spill to ccur over a couple of issues which shakes things up a little. The Decepticons (even though very little has been seen of them) seem to be a sort of disparate group without Megatron's strong personality to unify them. The Autobots too seem to be splintering without Optimus there to guide them, leading to a situation similar to how it was in War Within: Age of Wrath.

Seibertron has an interview with Andy Schmidt, which can be seen here, which seems to indicate that the business with Galvatron has big implications much later in the story (ie: two-three arcs away) and so will not be seen in the near future, meaning it's going to be unlikely he'll have a role in the Decepticon leadership spill (which is a good thing when you remember that Galvatron isn't even a Decepticon in the IDW canon).
