All you need is a scrappy little pet for the kids and you have an 80s cartoon plot.

The description reminds me of that Botcon comic particularly Tap Out (the Cliffjumper repaint) and Glyph's interaction with that alen race whose name escapes me.

I'd like to see Spotlights on newer G1 characters like Glyph or Clampdown.

Great,... another continutiy abortion by Shane McCarthy. So much for our intelligent Cybertronian Cold War Epic with 'Spotlight's only highlighting key players. Still, I admit I will be buying it, as ANY Transformers story is better than NONE. I do like taht he is actually jumping off a cliff.
