'Lo all, I'm back (I have a habit of vanishing)

I've not seen a thread about this latest issue yet so I figure I'll get the ball rolling on it:

SPOILERS AHEAD - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

First off glad to see the team of Figueroa and Burcham back for the art, loved the look and colours of the whole issue. And a special shout-out to Don for making my two new favourite characters kick-aft Cybertronian forms. In Ascending #2 we only saw Big Convoy's robot mode but now we see his alt mode, and man is it sweet (Can you say huge gun-totting spider tank!). Plus for some reason I totally dig Cohrada's cybertronian form, dunno why but I really do.

Of course Furman provides us with a great story and script, the immediate clif-hanger from issue #2 (Razorbeast being stung by Rartorata) is dealt with fairly swiftly but not before we see Shokaract start to cut loose (Much to the chagrin of Elephorca and Drancron). I felt Magmatron had a kind of background feel to him this time, more so than before, as he never takes a direct role in this issue but merely narrating some scenes...found that a bit odd.

The final bit I have to say about the issue is there is something bugging me about the arrival of Shokaracts remaining followers with the rest of the Angolmois energy. You've got Jawbreaker, Antagony, Hellscream, Hardhead and one who I just can't pin point but if someone could tell me who it is I'll be grateful.

So what did you lot think? :D

The other one is Cybershark, damn cool toy if you ask me.

I liked it a lot, Magmatron narates the comic cos he can't do anything els, he's trapped in this time warp thingy.

I don't think it's Cybershark, this is how I've figured it.

[Going from the last page] At the bottom is Jawbreaker, then above him is Hellscream, to the right of Hellscream is Hardhead, then above Hardhead is Antagony. Then you have the guy in the upper left had corner and he's the one I can't figure out.

P/S: I'm assuming it's Hellscream because we've already seen Cybershark on Earth and I'll be damned if its Sky-Byte, heh. EDIT Then again having just checked TFU it could be Sharp Edge or Overbite.
Another EDIT After reading the BW Profile Book #2 it became obvious to me that it's Max B, crisis averted!
