It ended much better than it finished? Awesome!

 

I actually thought the Reapers vowing to follow Sixshot was a GOOD thing. That way, if (or when) he changes his mind, he can join the Reapers. It's not like they vowed to kill him dead.

 

... did they?

I'm pretty sure Ramjet is dust. Megatron pretty much dismembered him and kept the head as a souvenir. IMO, I thought the Ramjet Spotlight was kinda weak.

 

Overall, the spotlights have had hits and misses. Prime's introduced the gestalt technology and also hinted at corruptions of past Primes as well as political wrangling on Cybertron. However, Soundwave ending up in a pawn shop display case? C'mon now...

 

Very interested to see what spin Arcee gets in February and see how the G2 continuum (Jhiaxus) will play into the overall IDW world.

Dead Universe=G2, Methinks.

In Galvatron's Spotlight, they featured Leadfoot (who was the only one to die). But my G2 knowledge is nowhere near as extensive as others'. The only reason I recognized Leadfoot as G2 is cuz I have 'im.

Just a theory.

nah, Jihaxus was on the first arc with Galvatron and Nova Prime.

Exactly....so maybe the original Ark was crewed by mostly G2 bots?

... how exactly would that make sense with Leadfoot being in Spotlight: Galvatron? LEadfoot was killed and opposed Galvatron. Also, Road Rocket, another G2 figure, was in S:G as a member of that base. He wasn't killed and he didn't have any affiliation with the Dead Universe.

 

How does Leadfoot fit into your theory? I guess I just don't get that.

Oh yeah. forgot about RR. Oops. Well, it sounded good in my head! :07redface

I'm still curious to hear about your theory. As it is, I have NO idea what you were getting at. Why would Leadfoot being killed mean Dead Universe is G2 Affiliated?

 

Incidently, the only ones I can think of that are affiliated with the Dead Universe are Nova Prime, Galvatron, the Sports Car Patrol, presumably Jhiaxus. Sorta Nightbeat, but not really. Of those, only Jhiaxus is even slightly G2. Nova didn't exist and the rest were all G1.

I'm pretty sure Ramjet is dust. Megatron pretty much dismembered him and kept the head as a souvenir. IMO, I thought the Ramjet Spotlight was kinda weak.

 

Totally agree with you there. I don't see a point in bringing in one more usurper to the throne just to have him torn apart. I don't see how this spotlight furthered the story at all.

What happened to Starscream, anyway? I've just been reading the Spotlights and Megatron Origins...
