Quote:

Megatron will also stand out from the crowd for much the same reason he'd stand out later--sheer brutality and a cold, calculating soul (or 'spark' in Transformers terms). "He has an utterly brutal side of him that he doesn't have completely in check. He's violent, and he likes to endorse that. That's one of the key things about the story; he experiences it, then finds out that <i> he likes it</i> and that he can make a good living through exploiting it. He's going to look in the mirror in this series and do some soul-searching about what he finds.

You'll see Starscream in a role you haven't quite seen before,"teased Holmes. "I won't say more than that. Their first ever meeting is in this story, as are many other 'first encounters'. It's not quite what you'd expect. Starscream wasn't born a traitor. The two characters will work together - and it won't be a smooth ride. We'll be setting some precedents that dovetail nicely into Simon Furman's current IDW story."
