I see what you mean, but at this point it's not unheard of. CW has already subbed out Slingshot and Wildrider with new characters, so it's still in the air.
Personally, I'm game for whatever. As a fan of the comics Prowlastator would be neat, but an up to date oiriginal 6 Devastator would be cool also and I can see why some might want that more.
If I had to guess, it'll probably be an all Con Devastator, but that might not mean that the team is re-setting in IDW.
Yea, I totally doubt IDW would reset Devastator - Prowl will remain in charge there.
As far as CW replacement limbs... those guys aren't yet known characters in the comics (to my knowledge), so the situation is somewhat different.
I dunno... I'm rooting for a Devastator made up of 6 voyager Constructicons (even 5 voyagers and 1 leader would be acceptable to me) - especially given the gift set nature of the packaging.
I agree.
JSYK, Alpha Bravo has made one appearance in RID #33. When Starscream talks about rebuilding Superion and replacing a mortally damaged Slingshot, he introduces a pair of volunteers: Alpha Bravo and Powerglide. He's really only there for one panel and his one line talks about him volunteering because of his love of Cybertron, hinting at a patriotic personality that (to my mind) we don't often see in Transformers.
