Think so huh?

a fairly flashy fellow-- who hasn't had much characterization since the mid '80s

Seems like it to me. I'd bet money on it.

Oh, and in all likelihood this will probably be the first time I ever get both variant covers of a comic.

Well, we never said it was an Autobot....

And yeah, I defy anyone to be able to chose between those covers.

Ah, but you said it was Jazz's "companion" and inferred he was a protagonist. You ain't foolin' me, pal.

Does anyone have their AHM issues in front of them right now?

Tracks is in AHM, but was he with Jazz or did he show up with Kup's group?

There's a definite disconnect in AHM between Jazz and Kup and their ideas on how to get things done. That being said, if Tracks was part of Kup's group originally maybe we'll get somewhat of an explainaition on the backstory there in spotlight Jazz. That is, IF Tracks is the unwilling compatriot mentioned.

Another idea... What if it is Razorclaw? It's not so odd that a special team leader would be hunted by members of his own team, look at what's going down in Maximum Dinobots right now. Also, it would be a nice G1 nod to when Razorclaw and Springer had a temporary teamup.

Tracks is part of Jazz's team that was already on Cybertron before Kup's crew arrived.

Hmmm, that's an interesting thought...

BTW, that particular scene was pretty darn cool. If not just for the pure 'cornines' of it.

I thought it might be him too. He is the only one that we did not see come from elsewhere in the whole -tion series right? Maybe Cliffjumper too.

Other than TRACKS, I also thought Razorclaw, but he really never had much characterization in the 80's, certainly not in the comic book singularly, and only the one ep really with Springer, which had cool art, but the story was meh. Wasn't that the Daniel's nightmares episode? And Springer rode Razorclaw for a joust or something?

TRACKS has at least a couple of eps where he was highly featured, even if we didn't like what they did with the voice or character.

Thanks Richter, and Whiterabbit!

After reading the comments id have to agree on Tracks or maybe cliffjumper. But thowing my hat in what about Skids? he hasnt been mentioned sine the 80's.

Or at all in the IDW run, that I can remember.

Point, but "flashy" was never really an adjective that could be ascribed to Skids.

Agreed.."missing" would probably be the term I'd use for him, or perhaps "time shunted" would work better?
