Ok, I have read this book, and I have several questions?

1. Was Brawl already on Earth while the events in the prequel novel happened? Or was he on the battered Cybertron? Or was he controlling the Nemesis and there wasn't a need to discuss him?

2. It is pretty clear that Frenzy dies at the end, however there is no explanation to his revival at the end of the prequel novel, nor anywhere in the movie novel, or the movie. Can anybody give me a logical explanation?

3. The bots that are in the Reign of Starscream, where were they the entire time of the prequel novel or movie/novel events?? Where they already on Earth, on another ship, or on Cybertron, or on the Nenemis playing cards with Brawl? I just would like to know. I'd appreciate it much.

1. book was written using an early script that did not have brawl in it

2. frenzy was repaired off screen/off novel.

3. we dont know yet, maybe the prequel to the next movie will help answer
