It's amazing how much story he gets into each issue. Can't wait for these.

wow....just wow.

Thats a hell of a lot of spoilers in a post Furman claimed to be "as spoiler free as possible".

Seems to be a lot of info to pack into 4 comics, I wonder who the trio of Transformers who go into the Dead Universe are? Prime, Arcee and Magnus?

Sounds like a good one, though I've never been a big fan of Sideswipe. I'll still pick it up though.

I've never understood the fascination a large portion of the G1 fandom has with Sideswipe. He wasn't even my favorite G1 figure when he came out (I like the Prowl clones better...they had TWO shoulder launchers instead of just one). The cartoon SS was sporadic and kinda lame. Granted this story sounds AWESOME, but half ya'll sprout woodies when someone even SAYS "Sideswipe"...I'll never understand it.

Because of the 3 I'm thinking an Autobot Micrommaster team (to go along with the idea of the Decepticon team that attacked Nightbeat way back when this all started, and never got explained)...something like that, but I would have to re-read it again to see if it sounded as if the characters were well established, or new to this arc.

I like Sideswipe, the Countach thing is what always had me, I loved that car as a kid. Plus, he did seem to have a bit more personality in the "More than meets the eye" TF first three G1 eps, being twinned with Sunstreaker, the pile drivers, and then being the one to have to give Prime his rocket pack, thus making him one of the few 'supposed' flying Autobots at the time.

He has never given me 'that' much excitement though First-Aid. I must be missing something.

I am a Decepticon at spark but I do like Sideswipe this will be good.

He's Skywarp if Skywarp was an Autobot. People love prankster warriors.
