However I still hope Roberts doesn't go that route, it's so predictable making him evil again, just keep him morally grey with no intention of picking up arms against the autobots. Since they've started introducing beast wars characters they could always bring in another Megatronor Megaplex if they wanted a clone.
It doesn't have to be against Starscream... rather the Autobots as an ideal- what they stand for.
Optimus doesn't agree with Starscream being leader, but respects that he was elected Optimus (I'm sure in spite of Starscream's wishex) is still seem as a leader, especially to the fanatical Camiens. Besides, Optimus's annexation of Earth came as a surprise to everyone, including Starscream. So it's not Staracream's government that would be target-likely. If it were up to me, I would guess that when Megs finds out what Optimus did, it won't be well received.
Though I can't say that I disagree with your morally grey comment. I do prefer my Megatron evil, but I would accept morally grey.
Though splitting into more factions would be pretty interesting, a lot of political maneuvering. We'very kind of got about 4 factions running in the under current as I see it, those who follow Starscream (which is mostly just Starscream), the Autobots, then the Decepticon subfactions, Galvatron's brand of crazy and Soundwave's peace and love. Which is great, it's a more realistic set up,

I've been hoping for a while now that someone clever within IDW would find a way to introduce the maximals and predacons, things would get very tense and there could be some interesting stories to tell.
You do bring up a good point about the different fractions we do have already though had combiner wars went differently I could of seen Prowl leading his own breakaway faction, laying down the law with no compassion.
As for megs and the primes: thought as much, I may have gotten his anti religion thoughts from a different incarnation of him.

If anything, Drift and Ratchet now seem far more likely, and Defensor not so much. I also think that someone on the actual Lost Light will realize what is happening and will do something, and it is possible that briefcase will come into play, but not used by the outcasts since they most likely do not have it. thought that space hole in Swerve's should play a role too.

Place your bets here on who saves the day for our stranded heroes! Well, the ones left to save at least. And we'll go with "lends a helping hand in some capacity even if they fail", in case there's tag team heroism, or at least attempts at it, going on in issue 54 or 55 when this wraps up

One thing that that bothered me..... Cyclonus & Tailgate still seem to be on the Lost Light, as they are not part of "Team Rodimus". I'm pretty sure they both will never side with Getaway, so there is some hope of the LL.
Plus, other groups like Ratchet & Drift as well as the Protectobots are headed back.... so who knows where the help might come from.
But that's what they say? Or did I write them backwards? That is a possibility.D-Maximus_Primal wrote:Well Scotty, taking into account what happened, I am going to say that your bets may be a bit off. If anything, Drift and Ratchet now seem far more likely, and Defensor not so much.

My mistake then.... I still haven't gotten a hold of the issue yet, but just couldn't wait.... so I just read it up on TFwiki
Funnily enough, there is no mention of Cyclonus or Tailgate as part of the team. I double-checked before posting. Oh well.... thanks for that.

Standard practice to only address the big picture in the synopsis. A synopsis would be equal parts bloated and unpleasant to read if it came to down "a, b and c were standing in the background here, d was looking through the doorway there while e helped f support their weight..." etc.ctrlFrequency wrote:pie-man wrote:Randomhero wrote:What are you talking about?

Never trust a wiki... they are evil... pure evil...

He might not be too bad - we don't know how much info Getaway and Atomizer have shared. The only info we can be firm on Blaster and the others having is that Megatron, and those who may defend him, have been marooned on the Necrobot's planet, and that Getaway has alerted someone who will supposedly kill only Megatron. They probably don't know it's the horrifying DJD being sent to the stranded 'bots, they might not even know the Necrobot's dead.Ebonyleopard wrote:Man, I did not see this coming. And Blaster.

For Blaster and co., it probably just boils down to thinking Rodimus is an unfit captain, and hating that Megatron's walking around, relatively free, talking up how he's a pacifist now etc. That wouldn't be too sinister.

The predestination loop is what keeps him from canceling out because he and the one briefcase that Nightbeat and Nautica found had to go back in time to come into play now. Sadly, he had to witness two slaughters.

Yeah you really have to figure that we, as the readers have a different perspective of Megatron. For us he is a character in a book, but for the Lost Light crew, they lived through a long bloody war where others killed in the name this guy that is now running around their ship "free" and declaring himself a pacifist.
For us he isn't real, didn't actually kill people, so we can actually have some sympathies for him. We can like him.
But I can promise you... if he was real, I'd feel the same about Megatron as the crew does. As a character I love Megatron. And I have always said even the worst people in human history have some redeeming quality, but they still are horrible people. Same with Megs... in the reality for the characters (if they were real) they're reactions are reasonable.
It was a powerful scene as if Roberts was reminding us of how brutal and evil Megatron was. Not everyone can jump on the fan bandwagon so easily.
