So Issue #1 of Devastation hit last week and the next will be here in a couple of weeks.
And it's apparent that not many people care. The big talk has been the Beast Wars stuff. I think Devastation deserves its own thread, even though some of us have posted a little bit in the IDW Continuity thread.

Well, I actually do care. It started off with a bang! The set up has been 12+ issues and we are now seeing more pay off.
Sixshot. I wonder who would win in a fight between himself and Megatron. I say pump them both full of Ore-13 Energon and let them go at it. Sixshot doesn't seem to care though. He relishes the role he has, and even enjoys it as we've seen.
Hot Rod. The likeness to Sideburn in alt mode aside, he is becoming the more carefree youth that most of us are used to. He seems no worse for wear from Nightbeat's beating, and doesn't remember it either. Covers and previews for issues to come show that his life is quickly going to get a lot more exciting.
Starscream. We now see where the old lieutenant has been 'hanging out' and he seems to be no worse for wear either, except he needs to be released from his suspended animation. And it looks like the triple changers of all 'cons are going to do just that--I would have thought it would have been Thundercracker and Skywarp--but the whole group of cons seems a bit upset. It does leave us the question of who the hanging head/shoulders was with the Machination people?
Ravage. Being used by his human group to track Transformers. Re-conditioning suits him well, they've not only reconditioned him to be loyal to them (apparently), but they've also reconditioned him from a jaguar (stealthy, sneeky, spying) to a bluetick bloodhound complete with 'bawl/howl of a hound on the trail'! Apparently Laserbeak is to come--he was mentioned, but not used yet. Wonder what animal he will become? It's always been a bit ambiguous anyway though, so they could turn him into a hawk, condor, eagle, pretty much any bird of prey, and he'd be okay. Now if he's a Hummingbird, I quit.
Autobots. Being spied upon, duh. Finally decided to scout around to see if anyone's been looking at you? Apparently they did not realize most humans park their cars in garages or structures, and not at the bottom of lakes. And now we are moving from Lake Michigan to the Gulf Coast. Perhaps we need a different idea than underwater somewhere...oh yeah they never make it anyway because Sixshot trashed the Ark--by himself!!! So long suckers...
Sideswipe/Hound/and crew... Thankfully, Sideswipe's calls whining to ol' leader 'bot himself have annoyed Prime enough to give the boring work to Jetfire, and let Sideswipe have his way, and bring along his (well actually Hound's) squad to back up Prime. Good choice Prime, but it looks like they got there a little late.
I'm hoping for a Sideswipe-Sunstreaker/Sixshot fight, but I think we will see the unavoidable Sideswipe versus Sunstreaker (brother vs. brother) fight first.
Someone please give Prowl something to do other than repeat Prime's orders.
Still looking forward to Shockwave and the Dinobots please, hopefully????
Feel free to write your thoughts, or bag on mine.
