They are from the UK comics, see them as a competent version of RAAT.

Triple I spied on the TF's for quite a while and managed to create a robotic warrior of their own (Centurion). They eventually needed a human to pilot it, the choice was obvious, they picked Professor Morris since he managed to control Swoop for some while.

However Morris turned on Triple I eventually and helped the Dinobots (to make up for what he did to Swoop).

Look at these:

The central buildings are identical in structure, including the road layout around it and the little circular centerpiece out front. Further suggesting it's Scorpinok. And for those who think he wasn't damaged except for his eyebrows getting singed, look carefully. The blast actually richochetes off his chest and into his head which could explain all this damage he suffered. If it is him.

You beat me too it, even though they have different artists Furman as a writer would add this little tidbit in for those over anal fans who examine everything knowing we would pick up on it.

Scorponok and Shockwave on the same planet can only lead to some interesting conflicts....

I hate to say this but the DW stories can stay unfinished if this is the way IDW are shaping up...its been a bit of a slow burner but things are starting to pan out very nicely now...before i was annoyed at yet another continuity being fleshed out and having to wait months for a conclusive storyline i could understand and enjoy...but now the wait is over i'm totally loving this.

Agreed. I'm really enjoying IDW's work.

Thanks Stormwolf. I keep forgetting about the massive database on this site. Now to complete your analogy, I'm off to find out about RAAT.

I didn't realise at first. It was the second read through that I thought it looked familiar. After comparing it to the Magnus issue, that's when I realised. Funnily enough, it may be different artists but both images are from the same camera angle as well.

But anyway, that would suggest the TF hunters running about work for Scorponok, which would again sort of echo G1 Marvel. These guys could end up being partnered with Mindwipe, Skullcruncher, etc. And if that's the case, could it be that Hunter is being binary bonded to Sunstreaker? That would be a bizarre combination I think.

And I think an entire comic devoted to Megatron and Optimus's first fight of the series was justified.

The scorpion legs aren't actually in any of the panels. It just there's machinery that looks like them.

Just looking at this again, the machinery resembles the orange Claw and Side Gun that come with the Scorponok toy, more than resembling the legs.
