I really enjoyed this book but I don't think Spotlight Metroplex was a proper name for it. I mean, seemed more like Spotlight Goldbug and Sixshot part two.

Still though, good stuff. Was a little disappointed seeing the "I AM *insert Transformer name* here. This was the 4th or 5th time in a year I've seen this used in a Transformers book.

I just read this issue.
Allow me to intellectually plagiarize Spoon and write a synopsis.
Goldbug: Hi, I'm Goldbug. I am not now, nor was I ever Bumblebee.
Me and the other Throttlebots are stationed somewhere in space and we courier something cause we're good, but I won't say 'I'm the best there is at what I do, but what I" -OH NOES!!! It's Sixshot!
Goldbug: We made it into an escape shuttle and manage to land in a huge empty city that registers lots of Cybertronian life that we somehow never seemed to notice before. Please ignore the tires on Rollbar because we all turn into cool Cybertronian hover-cars. Freeway finds some energon but -OH NOES!!! It's Sixshot again!!!
Searchlight: Last time I saw you, you were written by Furman!
Sixshot: That's right. And I did some things off panel that make McCarthy's writing and Furman's mesh together seamlessly.
It's true. Oh, and also I AM SIXSHOT!!!!!
Metroplex: I AM OMEGA... Er... I AM METROPLEX!
Sixshot: Please watch where you're steppin*****......
Metroplex: I gotta go. There's chips and soda in the kitchen. Good day, sirs.
Searchlight: You can't leave. Your name's on the title of the book.
Metroplex: I must protect it. Good day, sirs.
Rollbar: Um... You're like really big, with a lot of guns, could you-
Metroplex: I must protect it. Good day, sirs.
Rollbar: I wonder what "it" is.
Searchlight: Maybe it's The Transformers license and he's hiding it so Hasbro doesn't take it from IDW.
Goldbug: I'm not dead! Just very badly burned.

Thanks.

I think credit should ultimately go to Spoon though.
I would never have been clever enough to do something like that if I hadn't seen him do it with AHM first.

This was actually my first IDW Transformers and I liked it. Sort of hope that Goldbug is Bumblebee though. Not sure why. Will have to pick up some more stuff.

I hope the Throttlebots wind up on Earth and show up in the Bumblebee series. And that BB and Goldbug hate each other.
