So, I'm rereading IDW's Stormbringer compiliation, and I've met a "Who in the heck is that?" moment. In the flashback scene with all the Transformers scientists, who are the others shown? Granting they tell us that Soundwave, Jetfire and Thunderwing were there, there's still three left unnamed. Who are they?

bludgeon, the face reminds me of his old shell inside robot

but thats not how hes portrayed elsewhere in the idw-verse, maybe he unsucsesfully upgraded himself? hence the messed up look?

I think you're right on Perceptor and Bludgeon. Bludgeon only makes sense in light of the story at hand, after all, and I think one could pretty safely that's Perceptor's head.

Swindle I'm not so sure of. A close lookalike, maybe, but it doesn't seem right. It'd be a neat character twist, though.

it might tie into swindle being the arms deal in the Ultra Magnus Spotlight?

Hey Josh. Since you coloured the book I think we can all take that as a pretty definative answer, but don't you mean that Thunderwing is talking to those guys?

Swerve? I would never have guessed!

Considering Swerve's function, it makes sense.

Swerve and Mixmaster! Now that makes perfect sense, though I'll agree Swerve's a bit of a surprise. Cool inclusion, though.
