I believe it's more of a flashback of what exactly happened before the very first page. At least we know why we never got a body for Megsie: it was blown to bits by Straxus, leaving only his head. And Darkmount as the location for his head experimentation...
Is it me, or is the story being told Memento style

It really is one of the best weapon accessories for transformers figs no matter who you put it on it makes them look bad ass.

Also a pair of swords that I at first thought were the swords that came with the original Convobat/bat Optimus Primal toy, but look a little different instead (there's even a C-clip on each sword's blade right next to the hilt).

The visual imagery is still there. It's the thought that counts.

I'm disappointed in you. That's not Wheelie, it's Dion, they're all e-Hobby exclusives.
Swords are based on the ones from the unreleased Construct Bots Wheeljack Arsenal pack.

I have no idea who the green bat is... Surely not Mutant Soundwave...

I would like a mutant soundwave homage, but I don't think this is that either. That toy was largely gold, not what seems to be an implied green. The screaming mouth on the nightbeat head might be a good match though, sans some monster teeth.
I have no guesses!

Because it is. e-HOBBY's order page (on just the mobile version, for some reason) points out that the Megalligator head is meant to use Legends Skullcruncher as its body.Seibertron wrote:I'm very excited about Convobat, but Megalligator still looks like Skullcruncher with a Megatron head.

I realize that, just saying that's not what I want and that I still want a proper Megalligator with correct colors with attention to detail and not a Skullcruncher with a Megatron head.

IT'S SENTINEL PRIMAL

I figured the colors were something like that, I only called him green because the wing colors were the clearest color in the comic.
I can't be the only one that sees this, particularly the four sets of pink eyes and the silver on his abs.
Nothing else really matches and where better to find him than a lab? Plus who doesn't like Megatron paired with an obedient Soundwave?

The head is definitely Nightbeat's, and the second pair of glowing "eyes" indicates a helmeted character with a bat motif...
O dear Primus, we may have a match:

For just a moment I thought my post magically ended up under someone else's name.
Though to my credit I did call him Mutant Soundwave in an earlier post, but I'm glad I'm not the only one seeing it.

And him being a clone of the original Soundwave would be icing on the cake. Wouldn't be the first time a Soundwave clone would have a mouth:

I'd really like this new Soundwave to have a mouth anywho to differentiate him from Soundwave more.

Besides, the shades of the original toys aren't too too far off (either that or my inability to recognise different shades is worsening):

Though it's more probably a Mutant Soundwave homage, that monobrow (which I know is probably meant to homage Soundwave's teeth) coupled with the brown is making me think of Dinobot (who wouldn't make sense as a bat, but the colors and the leanness of the mold are reminding me of him).Nik Hero wrote:Here it is with boosted saturation.
