    Pretty much.

    I know we love the big names, but there's nothing wrong with new names getting involved too, as long as they're up to the challenge.

    Stone's definitely busy with Windblade.

    Would be cool for some spotlights to focus on some lower tier characters...perhaps spotlights focusing on B or C level characters...and accompanying two to three page micro-spotlights focusing on really obscure characters...

    I just want to have the third book to be Transformers: Functionaries. Stories about cybertronians under oppression of the functionists that will make our heart breaks because we shall see our beloved characters change. Optimus Prime brainwashed to be the Council's main muscle, Bumblebee leading revolutionaries and got crippled, the Titans found and subdued to be cities on far flung colonies, Starscream becoming the leader of far flung planet's rebels, Megatron never born, Trailbreaker becoming miner, and there are multiple clones of the constructicons, all mindless drones, etc etc

    Put me in as another hand up for this. So many potentials with the back ground characters that are unexploited.

    Most definitely.

    I also would like to see the return of the Spotlights but a proper spin-off focusing on ignored characters like Hound, Blaster, Huffer, Inferno, Grapple, Brawn, Gears and others would be pretty cool.

    It doesn't even need to be written by James Roberts (although that would be ideal), there are a lot of talented writers in the industry. IDW just needs to give the opportunity to someone.
