"Devastation, I swear, will endeavour to draw a line under a several of the dangling plot threads (even as others kick in/off). So, what can we expect from Devastation? Well, for starters, Sixshot. He’s the spur that sets off a whole heap of other stuff, very much the cat among the pigeons. His appearance on Earth heralds… the return of Starscream (and yes, for those who’ve wondered, he’s been in a regenerative C.R Chamber since Infiltration #6, repaired but ‘on ice’ as it were), the Reapers’ (final?) rampage and Skywatch’s (first?) pre-emptive strike against the Transformers. Also, our ‘B’ plotline focuses very much on the Machination as we reveal (yes, reveal!) startling developments for Hunter, the fate of Sunstreaker and, yes, the ‘head’ of the Machination. Oh, and the IDW-verse Headmasters make their presence felt. Then there’s the build-up to Revelation, with more on Galvatron, the Dead Universe, [blank] Prime, (Double)Dealer (!) and Nightbeat (did he kill the Koska facsimile? You’ll have to wait until Revelation for that!). As mentioned previously, the Galvatron and Optimus Prime Spotlight issues (July and August respectively) are pretty essential reading and do actually bridge the gap between Escalation and Devastation somewhat. Sideswipe’s appearance in Galvatron is the foreshadowing of his ‘ongoing’ debut and the two (IDW) debuts in Optimus Prime set up the titanic fifth (sixth if you count Stormbringer) story arc. Anyhow, I’ve said enough (for now at least). I’ll be back with a formal (w)rap on Devastation #2 in due course."
More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

well, i'm officially pumped. these have turned out to be some of the best comics i've ever read in my comic collecting career, and i'm sure i speak for all of us when i say that the TF universe, although it's taking some very different and original turns, it's still in great hands.

They must be, as Furman mentions "the titanic fifth (sixth if you count Sotrmbringer) story arc". So that's:
1. "Infiltration",
2. "Stormbringer",
3. "Escalation",
4. "Devastation",
5. "Revelation"
6. and then story arc number six.
O, and I'm excited.

Aww damn... Revelation to find out if Nightbeat killed the facsimile! After just reading Escalation 6 today, I want to know much sooner than that! Sounding good so far. I think [blank] Prime will be Nemesis.
Re: Furman Update on Finishing Transformers Devastation #2

Yeah, I don't think "Rodimus", "Sentinel", or "Vector" fit into that blank, considering where we are in the story (and other factors). Though, arn't most of the Nemesis Prime stories/origins linked to Unicron (except for RID)? I'm curious how Furman will decide to do this one, since he's trying to stay away from the whole Unicron thing for now.

Well it could be Rodimus or Vector as the blank. Rodimus is a likely choice though seeing as Hot Rod is being built up. Still there's the "Prime" style head while Optimus Prime was in limbo which makes me think Nemesis Prime. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

furman said in an interview somewhere that he was having a blast writing sideswipe so im looking forward to it too. he always had bags of potential seeing as he was meant to be a bit of a james dean type as in a rule "bender" cant see him taking what the machination did to his brother sitting down either!
in a weird way im kinda hoping hardhead reamins an ordinary bot, im enjoying him as he is. be a nice twist to see ARK originals become headmasters instead of the nebulos crew. long wait for dev but i get the feeling it'll be worth it
