Well, Magnus did kinda take him into space and imprison him... uh... somewhere.
I do wanna see him eventually return tho. Especially since the random 'cons around the universe need a leader. Not that there's a shortage of candidates right now - Deathsaurus/Nickel, Bludgeon; they could even bring back Sixshot...

Scorponok was imprisoned on Garrus-9 with Shockwave and was meant to have a pivotal role in Last Stand of the Wreckers but was cut out. Since G9 is now decommissioned he's no doubt toting around the Galaxy. I've always assumed he may have been the one that took grimlock off G9 during overlords occupation. He'll show up again eventually.
Bludgeon is still on Cybertron no doubt alive but he's not really a deception anymore. He just big walking ball of crazy nowadays
Sixshot will show up again eventually. If anything that awesome new toy may help with that.

Personally I just want it to be BW Megatron. It means we get one of the franchise's best characters, we get more Beast Wars stuff, and we won't have to worry about Hasbro asking IDW to turn Megatron into a Decepticon again since we'd have a Megatron in charge. Win-wins all around!

It's always the humans hate transformers for being big destructive robots, but none of them can learn to tell the difference between good and bad robots despite the entire cybertronian race being color coded for their convenience at this point. Even when in engaged in obvious humanitarian efforts, in populated areas, this kind of thing constantly happens, it seems.
This isn't even a specific comics based problem, the movies are an even worse offender. It's getting tiresome that the automatic human response to the Autobots is to shoot them. There's no dramatic tension to any of it. What would be much more interesting is if there were actual, tense negotiations between the transformers and human leaders with everything becoming complicated due to the involvement of Rom, M.A.S.K, and the Micronauts bringing in more alien shenanigans.

However, it was an absolute bugger to download these pictures. Server problems?

We only see one city and a handful of Decepticons. Maybe if they went the Dreamwave route and Megatron had a million Air Warriors/Seekers but he didn't.
Everyone complained about the original ongoing and All Hail Megatron as being poorly written and focusing too much on humans.
We're getting the same thing again lately. All 3 arcs featured Spike Witwicky. I wish IDW would learn their lesson and get rid of him.
I wish IDW would get rid of John Barber too.
In the cartoons, maybe, but it wasn't the same case for the Marvel Comics, in which the U.S. government was in constant odds with the Transformers (Autobots included) for several years before they finally understood the distinction between Autobot and Decepticon. And Circuit Breaker alone had been a constant thorn in the Autobots' side ever since her debut (as Circuit Breaker, that is), what with her irrational hatred of all Transformers and her ceaseless desire to see them all dead.Randomhero wrote:How many instances have humans been against all transformers?

Randomhero wrote:How many instances have humans been against all transformers?

Literally this and the movies are pretty much the only circumstances with humans seeing all transformers as an enemy and for totally good reason. The decepticons killed over a billion people in All Hail Megatron and in the ongoing Jazz killed a human(defending bumblebee) and in the movies they wiped out Chicago. I'm sorry but it's realistic. You don't just turn over a say "well the guys with red symbols are the good guys so it's fine" No, they are the same species. It's completely rational to to consider they are all threats especially in IDW when they killed over a billion almost succeeded in conquering the whole planet.
It's less believable to just be okay with it. Optimus announced that an entire planet full of sentient beings is his and his only to protect and grow. He took away their choice and while he means well he's doing this to a generation that survive global genocide.

Just for the record, here’s who we’re looking at on this one:
Soundwave, from Transformers, the big blue occasional boombox.
Laserbeak, a part-time cassette tape who lives in Soundwave’s chest.
Zartan, Cobra’s master of disguise from GI Joe, best known for having a color changing action figure and for leading a group of bikers who are definitely Australian despite living in Florida.
The Manta, my personal favorite car from MASK, a purple ’85 Nissan 300ZX that can turn into an airplane with laser beam headlights. In the original series, it was driven by Vanessa “Not Quite The Baroness” Warfield
The Jackhammer, an armored back Ford Bronco with a pop-up missile launcher, driven by bare-knuckle boxer Cliff “Blaster” Dagger.
The Piranha, a motorcycle that is also a submarine, driven by Sly “Wrecker” Rax.
And a few other MASK vehicles floating around in the background.

He had it in his and Orion Pax's Spotlight issues (but which were set in the past), so yeah it's weird seeing it here.Kurona wrote:... wait, hang on, did I miss something? Why is Thundercracker in his FoC body? That's not even a form he ever got the chance to take in IDW!
