I cant recall...Is Goldbug a different character in this Universe, or is BB turning into Goldbug possibly a result of his death/return/ the First Strike event?

Goldbug has always been a different character in IDW. And Bumblebee isn't in First Strike (yet, at least.)

He's a completely different character. While bumblebee is alive he's still stuck in the singularity. That's gonna be a power of primes thing no doubt. Not First trike.

Goldbug was severely wounded in spotlight metroplex and he's still recovering apparently.

Oh, woah; if the Throttlebots are coming back, maybe Sixshot's with them?

This and LL's cover just make me so happy on a continuity nerd level. It's just so bloody exciting to see all these characters and concepts return and hopefully get some stories and resolution

That still hasn't been answered. He can create photonic crystals which can store sparks BUT that's an unnatural use of photonic crystals. That's like finding out a hammer can be used as a weapon. It's purpose is a tool but can be used as a weapon. Plus his alt mode is still a mystery.

Doesn't that show that that's not an unnatural use of photonic crystals?

I disagree. I think He had the most interesting/fun transformation. Both 30 years ago and in Combiner Wars. (Well, CW Silverbolt DID have a pretty interesting Transformation.)

Can't speak for the comics, though.

It's weird because "purpose" is a relative term that the functionists use to describe what one's alt mode does. Rung can make crystals, but it's not clear if that has anything to do with his alt mode. He could be an outlier like trailbreaker.

I thought they said he was better at making them in alt-mode, though I may be misremembering entirely.

...And still they keep not putting Groove on Defensor's chest. Does the bike component of Victorion (Rust Dust I think is her name) get left out like that too?

Is Megatron going to be punished for his war crimes? Uh, no, he's not.

What happened to Overlord? He survived long enough to retreat with the surviving DJD.

Who's Agent 113? Dominus Ambus, who was uncover as Vos before being found out and "domesticated" to be Kaon's Pet "sparkeater".

She used to. In Victorion's first few appearances, Rust Dust wasn't drawn into the integrated form, but she has been pretty consistently drawn into it since then.
