Apple’s iTunes has updated with a three page preview of More than Meets the Eye #36. Elegant Chaos kicks off in a story of functionism and the early days of Cybertron. Also – the return of Roller!
Check it out to get excited for the next instalment of this great series.
Mort
I hope he does turn up because there a huge question around his motives at the end of Shadowplay. If he's sincere, I'd like to see what on earth happened there for him to become the monster he became.

There's a thought, I wonder if Zeta shows up at some point in Elegant Chaos. Depending how long after Shadowplay this story is set, him and Pax could still be looking for Shockwave.
Could lead to some awkward moments with everyone who knows how he turned out, but especially Rodimus, what with Zeta Prime's antics in Autocracy.

Oh, I really don't remember him being a friend of Zeta. I guess that would explain how he became Prime.
GWolfv2
He becomes a Prime in Autocracy. Presumably this is post meeting Zeta, pre-Zeta Prime

It is more like this.
Megatron: So it is agreed this is a bad idea to send Rodimus.
Ultra Magnus: Unfortunately he is the only logical option.
Megatron: Please do use the word "logic".
Ultra Magnus: I agree. I found logic rarely applies to Rodimus.
Rodimus: Hey I am right here. What can I possible do that would make things worse?
Megatron and Ultra Magnus exchange a look: We are so doom.
Megatron: For future reference refrain from using logic it makes you sound like Prowl.
Rodimus: Yeah and nobody does not want to be like Prowl. What a bore?

I'm a little surprised how many people are surprised Megatron isn't there. I mean, if YOU were travelling back in time to save Orion Pax would YOU bring the one guy most likely to shoot him? Megatron's turn is recent and NONE of the autobots truly trust him. I'd be amazed if Magnus or Rodimus had agreed. Plus it's good to have the focus off of him a little. The last 8 months have really been all about Megatron. I think returning the focus to the original crew, even if you have megs in a secondary plot, is a very wise move. Gives us a break, saves Meggy goodness for later and allows us to reconnect with some old favourites.

Fictional characters with triple-jointed legs tend to be squatting a bit.
SPLIT LIP
He's always been about that size. In that body at least. Depending on how bent his legs are.

When did Whirl get so big?
Autovolt 127
I never thought I'd live long enough to see Windcharger become this HARDCORE.
If they really were trying to protect us, they'd cancel that upcoming Legends Windcharger from the Tailgate mold.
Plus he wasn't that hard to find….my grandma found him for me.
Flash1087
I used to think it was Brawn, but he at least keeps it in check. Windcharger? Windcharger CRUSHED SOMEONE TO DEATH WITH MAGNETS. And nobody in the story seemed that fazed by it.

Indeed, it could just be an error, but they were briefly coloured blue during #10 as well while Skids was telling his part of the Shadowplay story, and Thunderclash mentions it's possible to change your optic-colour in #22, could be a subconscious reaction to something?
Or, it is just a colouring error and this damn book has conditioned us to pay attention to every little thing just in case it holds some significance later, haha.

Pre-war Skids' eyes were blue, right? How come the preview shows them as yellow then?

When I first saw your post I read "ROTS" as "ROTF" but didn't blink because Windcharger ripping people apart fits right in with the Movieverse. Him and live action Prime should compare notes.

They're not actual Autobots, they work for the Senate. The Autobots only exist in the sense that Orion Pax declared himself an Autobot in his rant to the Senate in Chaos Theory which marked his card and made him into an outlaw, which he'll presumably remain until Zeta Prime takes power and pardons him.
WilyMech
I still think that Orion Pax or the Autobots are a red herring. Brainstorm though he not loyal to either group does strike me really wanting to destroy or stop the war. Weaponmaker is not really needed in time of peace. I still think he is after something that was destroyed before the war or something that does not exist in presence.
Murasame
But why would they kill Autobots? Does not make sense.
TF14
No it's the correct timeline, Brainstorm's not done anything yet Rodimus and co are here to stop him. Pax was an outlaw after stealing the matrix bomb from back in Shadowplay and pissing off the senate multiple times (Chaos Theory and Shadowplay) however he was a friend of Zeta (both being "students" of Shockwave) so when he came to power Pax was presumably exonerated.
Negativedark
Windcharger is obviously still pissed his ROTS figure was so hard to find. Reissue it or make his next one easier to find, or the slaughter continues.
Heh, I can't imagine this group not messing up the past somehow. Well Okay, I can imagine Rung not messing it up, but just him.
Jalaguy
Possible, though from the wording last issue it might also be that so long as the person actually operating the briefcase is compatible, you can take whatever other people with you.
If that were the case, the fact that it's Rung holding the briefcase would be of note, considering the whole 'brightest spark' business and all.
