IDW have sent out the previews for this week’s comics and it’s a double event! Here we have a preview of More than Meets the Eye #38 for you. The crew of the Lost Light’s time-traveling adventure culminates at a point where you could say it all began – and the future is in the hands of one who “in response to a crisis of morale precipitated by his own woeful captaincy, introduced a reward system based on his own face” (Autobot Megatron is awesome!)
Check out the full preview attached to this post.

Is Ultra Magnus… smiling… in that panel where he and Megs compare Rodimus Stars?
General Magnus
Probably not, it´s just a term to sound smart.

Do you even know what ADHD is?

I don't know…in IDW everyone's personality seems to be shaped by their brain and their experiences more than their spark. Megatron wouldn't be such a world-class fighter without the green spark though.
And of course, Tyrest had a whole different theory so…I imagine the true significance of sparks is a bit of an open question.

James Roberts also gets extra points for using my fave insult – numpty!

Ok. I did NOT see that last page coming.
Brilliant stuff. Very entertaining, but I think another read through will help everything settle in my head!
Megatron for prime minister please!

From what you've describe it appears you can NOT change the past – only ensure what HAD already happened happens. John Connor was going to be father by Kyle Reese – that had ALREADY happened. I do not think, THINK, that there was an "original" timeline where "He" was fathered by someone else and it was a half brother. I think its a case of a Paradox (if you've seen, and remember, the Matrix – remember Neo trying to not know over the plate of cookies but what happened..)..

I've heard you can go insane trying to think out paradoxes
Starscream Gaga
Yep.

Soo – had Megatron gotten the spark ORIGINALLY intended for him he would been a completely different bot right?

You're questioning Transformers logic?

This needs to happen IMMEDIATELY!

It's been very skillfully done, so that a whole bunch of details that were seeded in as texture suddenly become quite important to this particular story.
If Roberts had been taken off TF comics in the last year, nothing would have seemed "missing" or unfinished.
But the first issue of Chaos Theory established that there was something odd about Megatron's background. The very first one.

Well, Read the issue. Mind blown. I wonder if the had planned this all along, because this story really makes you go back and reread all the previous issues.

What if Brainstorm isn't planning to put the green spark in Megatron, what is he kills the blue spark and he's forced to give up the green spark and create the Megaton we know and love, by the Autobots in the past? What if he was really intended to keep the green spark for himself, and a MacGuffin type situation occurs where the choice is taken from him? Maybe ironically it would probably be Whirl who picks up the green spark and placea it in Megatron for the most emotional effect, creating the person who he would twist into the worst war monger in the universe.

whatever happens in this issue it better be f****** cool. i am very excited to read it. the whole Prowl being brain controlled storyline over in RID was a letdown, i hope this delivers the goods.

So awesome. Can't wait to read this tomorrow. We all assume the blue spark gets destroyed….what if it becomes another bot? Maybe brainstorm is the blue spark and he gives megs the .01% one but also gives birth to himself? It's all extremely interesting.

Have we taken into account that Brainstorm's plan is to destroy the blue spark, put the Luna 2 spark in the body thus making sure Megatron goes on to do his deeds?
and that perhaps he fails and that when this is over the Megatron we end up with is the guy with the blue spark?
