looking forward, and they are doing well to keep it true to FOC... wish for once we would have a steady and continuous story... not a rewriting of the history every 2 - 3 years.

Not to worry! Knowing the character, he will blown to bits almost immediately if he shows up again in the issue.

All back to normal. :D

Not sure how much I'm looking forward to this, but if it leads to BuBMlebee and Megatron it's a keeper.

I like the art. More classic style flashbacks it seems. Not sure about the story though. But I do love pre AHM Bludgeon.

No, the writers are actually adhering to "Autocracy's" story among others in IDW continuum. Nothing said in this Spotlight has been changed.
