Major spoiler like a mofo...

Costa, you, sir, are capable hands.

WELL SH!T ON ME AND CALL ME A BA$T!TCH

BOUT DAMN TIME THE GUY TOOK ON A MORE ACTIVE ROLE IN THE IDW G1 CONTINUITY

and from the looks of it he has had some kind of personel experience with the same non faction group that drift did

so what is he some kind of cybertronian shogun now?

Vectorshot wrote:Hey I don't know if anyone has already asked this but is that Metroplex at the end of Ironhide #2? And is that drone with Ironhide at the end of the same comic, and the recent preview pages Scamper?

*looks at the head of Scamper at tfu*
*raises eyebrow*

The Metroplex theory is a good one, but not one with an answer yet.

I too did not see the A3 coming, but it's good, and can only help IDW/HASBRO get to where they want to be with their 'Original 13' ideas...

FYI-- I'm adding spoiler warnings to the news title and content, and to this original post.

Sorry folks.

not A3. his face is covered, we all know thats a dead give away.

its an imposter

Me thinks this may be the mysterious "no faction" which rebuilt Drift and gave him his big shiny sword and judging by Alpha Trion's clothing I'd say that Drift got his own duds from them as well. See Spotlight Drift if you are wondering what I mean.

On the Metroplex thing-
In issue 2 that city looks nothing like Metroplex (or any other cityformer, with that many towers it would be one hell of a transformation) and considering Metroplex was on a mission by himself (as in alone) in Spotlight Metroplex, I will be surprised if this place is him as having others inhabiting you would be the opposite of being alone (plus he stated he must stay in hiding).


Looks awesome though and will be picking this issue up, Ironhide is looking to be an interesting series

This is in response to Chironext's post. Looking at the G1 series there were many times in the episodes where the story took place inside of Metroplex, and there were extra buildings. In many scenes Metroplex never looked the same. Unless he was a bout to Transform into his robot mode.Then he would look like the toy/figure. A good example would be "The Return of Optimus Prime" episode. The scene in which Ultra Magnus assembled a strike force took place inside of Metroplex and there were more buildings in that scene than depicted in other panels. I am just posting a strong opinion/hunch. Hence my willingness to eat crow if I am wrong.

Am I the only one who HATES Alpha Trion? People complain about Drift being a fanboy's dream but Trion is a terrible cliche and robots with beards look ridiculous.

I was coming around to IDW at long last but between this and crazy Dark Universe Galvatron, I'm losing faith again.

Alpha Trion should be consigned to Limbo with all the other terrible ideas introduced in Transformers and never seen again.
