The Infiltration/Escalation/Devastation/Revelation could probably go on forever, & that could make countless chances for more fan loved characters to make their IDW debuts. If Devastator were to make an appearance in Devastation (Which would be stupid if he didn't) then Omega would need to make one. Those guys are arch enemies!

I thought that was just in the cartoon that whole Omega Supreme Construticon rivalry ? Mirage , Warpath, Stuticons, Smokescreen, Trailbreaker, Blaster, the Insecticons, Blurr, Windcharger, Dirge, Ramjet, Thrust, Hound, Dynobots and and the others (Excluding Wheelie) needs to make an apperance in Devastation!

If the Dinobots don't make an appearance in Devastation I'll be surprised, as they are digging them up at the end of Escalation #5.

And another vote for Smokescreen. I realize in the show he was basicly uncharacterized, and a one-trick pony with the smoke gimmick, but it was a cool gimmick, and I enjoyed it a lot! So, he is one of my fave Autos.

And where's Cliffjumper, Brawn, Windcharger, Huffer, etc.? Even though Bumblebee is rightly there because of his popularity, the others have yet to be shown.

I know!I wish this series would just get going right now! But I think there are going to be some good fights in this story arc!

I would like to see Spotlight Punch/Counterpunch. Or make a Spotlight for each one, I don't care! The Minibots really do need more light shed on them. I half expected Beachcomber to be in there somehwhere to dispute fighting, or maybe Warpath encouraging it. I also miss Mirage & Red Alert. The Insecticons too. There are so many that need to make appearances we don't know if IDW can fit them all in there!

I think that was Dogfight.

Dogfight appeared later. Prime forgot his name. I mean the white throttlebot that only appears the once with a shedload of lights on his feet.

I would love to see a punch/counterpunch spotlight. Don't forget, it's early days yet. Theres plenty of time to throw in the rest of the guys (as long as IDW don't do something stupid and go bankrupt).

I'd rather they introduce small groups at a time, instead of throwing in entire armies at once, like they have done. Unless the others make cameo's in the background (like the Autobot Targetmaster guys and Huffer at the end of Stormbringer).

Who's gonna appear in IDW?

AND THE ANSWER IIIIIIIIIIIS: NOT UNICRON!

(Or so they'd have us think).


But seriously, my vote for a Spotlight issue has to go to Hound above anyone else.

He kicked all kinds of ass in the first part of More Than Meets The Eye 1-3, and then barely ever showed up except when the Autobots needed a hologram, which was far less often than one would think, apparently.

And I can't recall him doing ANYTHING in the Marvel comics.

He had the distinction of being the first Autobot to appear in Dreamwave's comics, but that was pretty well it.

We got an Alternators Hound toy not too long ago. People obviously still like the character. So why don't we see more of him in fiction? I know I'm not the only Hound fan here!

And for the amount of time they appeared in the cartoon for, Ramjet, Dirge and especially Thrust should get some attention, rather than being near-identical walking stereotypes of dumb grunts.

I'd like to see Mirage, Red Alert or Hound.

Wheeljack tends to be overrated and they've watered down Sunstreaker from his badass Dreamwave self.

Blurr or Skullgrin.

Can't believe Outback is dead but at least Kup is suffering. Hate him the way others hate Wheelie.

Thrust was in Stormbringer. He was one of the cons to survive the massacre of Nebulos. He had a few lines of dialogue, then was told to stay behind to guard the bunker. Darkwing and Dreadwing went back to get him just before they skipped planet, so expect Thrust to reappear when Megatron learns of what has befallen Nebulos.
