I was just speculating based on the similarities between Tailgate and Tarn getting their powers later in life and the similarities between Tailgate and Roller wanting to be special. It's probably nothing, but I feel like they may be drawing parallels between the two characters. There's also the Bot to Con aspect, if Tarn is Roller, and the Con to Bot Tailgate similarities. Though Tailgate's stint as a Con was rather brief it may count for something.
I don't know enough about the original Magnus to make a call there, but Proteus might be a good candidate for a possible Tarn identity. He has the similar ear cups to Tarn and was involved in wanting to brainwash all the Cons using the Decepticon Registration Act. They could have turned the shadowplay on him as revenge, turning him into Tarn.

I've never been sold on Roller, it's too obvious coming from Roberts.
I only think Magnus is a possibility due to never seeing the original Magnus die and the fact that tarn knew about the recall switch in the hand and someone being inside the armor when he killed the duplicate Magnus. He murdered that Magnus with extreme prejudice and that makes me wonder if he did that due to people using his former life. Slim theory.
Proteus I've said before. We never saw him die, we only saw starscream capture him and aim his gun at his head. Never saw his death. My theory is that Megatron had proteus shadow played to be the most devoted decepticon ever as a form of irony for his part in trying to destroy the decepticon movement before the war and trying to have Megatron taken out several times. In tarns flashback we did see him being rebuilt by the mneumosurgeons that joined the decepticons. Instead of death he was turned into the one thing he'd hate as the ultimate punishment.

I can get behind that. I hadn't considered Proteus until you mentioned it earlier and my head went to about the same place that you just described.
The only thing about Magnus though, was he always a "pilot" in armor? I was under the impression the first incarnation didn't wear armor and he was simply Ultra Magnus. Meaning he wouldn't have the homing beacon in his hand yet until the next guy took over when they created the armor. I could be wrong, I did rush through the series pretty quickly.
I wonder if they intentionally gave us clues for several characters and left it open for whoever they decided to write Tarn as later.

Also if you notice in this and the previous issue he's not called Tarn. Only commandant. He had a real name back then, this is pre DJD.

Randomhero wrote:Is ther really any controversy with the way getaway is being portrayed in his cell? I read it and said "yeah there's getaway. He can talk to anyone to attempt an escape and he can use his skills to escape. The the a POS. Nuff said. I knew exactly his voice and limbs were removed the moment I saw him. Dude seriously deserves worse.
