The Energon Pub

So, I'm rereading IDW's Stormbringer compiliation, and I've met a "Who in the heck is that?" moment. In the flashback scene with all the Transformers scientists, who are the others shown? Granting they tell us that Soundwave, Jetfire and Thunderwing were there, there's still three left unnamed. Who are they?

ok i reckon its the following

(all taken from the pic in issue 1, from the pic of thunderwing talking

perceptor
jetfire
soundwave
swindle?
bludgeon?

bludgeon, the face reminds me of his old shell inside robot

but thats not how hes portrayed elsewhere in the idw-verse, maybe he unsucsesfully upgraded himself? hence the messed up look?

I think you're right on Perceptor and Bludgeon. Bludgeon only makes sense in light of the story at hand, after all, and I think one could pretty safely that's Perceptor's head.

Swindle I'm not so sure of. A close lookalike, maybe, but it doesn't seem right. It'd be a neat character twist, though.

it might tie into swindle being the arms deal in the Ultra Magnus Spotlight?

bludgeon's talking to Perceptor, Swerve, Soundwave, Mixmaster, and Jetfire

Hey Josh. Since you coloured the book I think we can all take that as a pretty definative answer, but don't you mean that Thunderwing is talking to those guys?

see now you mention mixmaster, ahhhh.

also dont you mean "thunderwings talking to"

Swerve? I would never have guessed!

Considering Swerve's function, it makes sense.

Swerve and Mixmaster! Now that makes perfect sense, though I'll agree Swerve's a bit of a surprise. Cool inclusion, though.
