    with some of the randoms being shown in some of the latest issues it got me to thinking there are a few characters we never saw (that i can remember anyway) since infiltration started up

    powerglide and warpath come to mind immediatly for me

    who else never got a picture atleast?

    Powerglide and Warpath have been seen (briefly) in the IDW-verse [see the TFwiki]. This is a very interesting topic though. I tried to think of a few characters, then checked the wiki and found that they were at least pictured in the comics. I'll keep thinking...

    How about the smaller pretenders? I've seen Bludgeon and Longtooth by name only.

    Are we just talking about the newest stories or the entire IDW-verse? Because Warpath was part of Hound's crew that made first contact with Galvatron. And I know Pincher was seen in one of the older issues as well.

    So are you talking about characters who still haven't appeared in the IDW continuity? If so, here are some that quickly come to mind: Blue Bacchus, Wreck-Gar (maybe the Lost Light crew will meet him sometime?), Quickswitch, Punch, and Skids (he's been mentioned, but still not seen).

    from infiltration to current who has not been seen

    grimlock you are correct warpath was part of revelations i think. powerglide shows up in part of chaos but you only see him flying into space (hadnt read it when i posted this thread)

    but there are others that come to mind have we seen huffer or pipes

    dont think we have seen all of the protectobots either

    and i know this one is a stretch but we havent seen bruticus

    First Aid showed up in Bullets,

    I think Punch was also implied to be Springer's mole in the Decepticons according to Bullets.

    @Orio check out Spotlight: Soundwave and Stormbringer for Bludgeon action. Also, Iguanus and Bomb-Burst!

    @Megatron31 Huffer was with the Autobots fleeing their Skywatch base during Revenge of the Decepticons part of Costa's ongoing.

    Pipes is on the cover of MTMTE... 4? He's coming up.

    The only combiners that exist in IDW at the moment are Monstructor, Devastator, and Menasor. That tech is still really new and hasn't become widespread yet.

    Speaking of pretenders, I was going to mention Catilla, but apparently he was in the Doubledealer Spotlight. I'll have to go back and look for him.

    Yes, I've seen them. I should've been more specific; Stranglehold, Octopunch, Pincher and Doubledealer. :) 

    Longtooth was in Spotlight Arcee by name only.

    How about the Duocons?

    This is a sincere question, I just want to know. Has Erector shown up yet? I mean, I know there was this whole deal with the Micromasters on Gorlam Prime, but I don't recall if he's ever made an appearance.

    I've been looking up some of my favorite obscure TFs and almost everyone has had at least a cameo (all 3 Triggerbots clear back in Stormbringer!) except Camshaft - the other 2 Omnibots have appeared though. And the duo cons are also MIA so far...

    ^ Well, Zarak is dead and Scorponok bonded with Abraham Dante, then got mutilated, thrown in prison, and forgotten (by the writers). That name has a 0% chance of ever being used. You win the thread! :D

    Firecons?

    Triggercons?

    Snarler and Carnivac?

    Hosehead?

    Weirdwolf?

    The Seacons?

    Chainclaw?

    Catilla appears in Doubledealer's Spotlight as one of the Autobots repelling Nemesis Prime.
