Here are some tidbits
UPCOMING
[CybPh]: In the upcoming BW profile books, will we be seeing Transmetal forms for characters who didn't get them in the show?
Chris: That's the plan, yeah.
[CybPh]: Which characters can we expect to get the spotlight in The Ascending?
Chris: Well, that would be telling, and I'm not quite ready to tell... but there will be some more familiar faces than people got to see in The Gathering.
[CybPh]: What are the chances of another TF era getting a bit of air time, in the vein of BW: The Gathering? say, part of the Unicron Trilogy [Armada/Energon/Cybertron] or Robots in Disguise?
Chris: Not good, actually. We're doing "early" stories with the Megatron Origin series, but otherwise, those stories you mention are primarily seen as Dreamwave projects, and we're looking forward to doing other things.
[CybPh]: What can we expect from Devastation? Does anybody make a long-awaited debut or cameo appearance?
Chris: More on Devastation...
[CybPh]: Will we see Soundwave again, possibly with an altmode change?
Chris: I can say you'll see Soundwave, and many others who appeared in the Spotlight books, but beyond that, I'm going to hold off comment on other characters. I'd prefer it be a surprise. I think a lot of people will be happy, though.
[CybPh]: What will Sixshot's role be?
Chris: Big, his role will be big.
