Okay, too much free time in my hands but in relation to:

1. Stormbringer
2."tion"
3. Spotlight
4. All Hail Megatron

In Stormbringer, we see Blaster and IIRC Beachcomber in the background (homages?)

Later in Spotlight, well we now know what happened to both of them right?

Seems like Soundwave and Bombshell were involved with Beachcomber's brainwashing.

Later we see "Bombshell" being created/cloned(?) in AHM almost recently 'cause Megatron is now in his "mass shifting" Earth mode yet the Spotlight indicates it happened like sometime ago(?)

Wheelie Spotlight: WTF is Reflector doing there when in AHM, they were a trio? So there are Reflector "clones"?

How do they explain that? A little more editorial control please..........

Well, while the beginning of Sp Wheelie is set during Sp Optimus Prime, the end is much later, possibly (to be read probably) even after AHM.

As for Bombshell, I think it was more a creation than an actual being that was just an homage to Bombshell. Then when they bought them in to the story by creating them the "real" Bomshell was named after it.
I need to read Sp Blaster over to test this theory but it seems to work.

I think Spotlight Blaster was after Stormbringer. Blaster doesnt appear to have that patch in that blurry panel.

I believe it was Soundwave's technology that lead to the big Bombshell. When Big Bombshell was created Deluge mentioned it wasnt his idea. So Deluge took Soundwave's tech and turned into the Swarm and the Insecticons.

Spotlight: Wheelie probably takes places after everything so far. Wheelie's monologue in the beginning says he sent out message for a long time before the major events of that Spotlight took place. Wheelie's message seen in Spotlight: OP probably took place then and subsequently no help came.

A lot of things indeed happened. If SP:Wheelie happens after the events of AHM, how the heck were they there(Reflector I mean)? They already had a spacebridge and yet they were in a rinkydink spaceship or something, quite far from Earth. And Blaster seemed to be missing for quite sometime too so I supposed after Stormbringer but just before AHM. Still the Bombshell "creation" is the "fly in the ointment" pardon the pun. If this was Marvel of old, I'd have submitted a "No-Prize" request to Stan Lee.

I thought the Space Bridge needed a port on both ends to make it work. Maybe Reflector's ship was running from a fight and wound up way out there.

Spotlight Blaster is indeed an inconsistency. Simon got called out on it a long time ago and said that in stormbringer we must have confused Blaster's brother "Bluster" for him.

SL: Blaster's set before Stormbringer. At least, he goes missing before Stormbringer,

Blaster's still around when Cybertron's habitable to an extent, and the Wreckers are shown on Varas Centralas (Or similar).

Much time passes during Spotlight Wheelie, his distress signal airs on Cybertron during Spotlight Prime, but the rest occurs much later on (or at least it has to occur much later if it is to fit in with AHM...)

Spotlight Blaster was an inconsistency, but as Myoung has already demonstrated it can be retconned to tie in easily enough.
