Furman is way too above stuff like having Galloway as a Pretender. Not to mention that Soundwave WOULD know, and in #1 he noted how the guy is inadvertedly helping the Con cause without knowing.
From the #3 preview, I'd say the guy, while a major jerk in the league of Sentinel Prime, will do his job right and find the Nefarious project for the Bots and Cons.
I liked the introduction of more minions for Soundwave in #1, even if Rumble as a rhinoceros was a bit weird. And I like how Furman goes along to portray OP to be as bloodthirsty as he was in ROTF. You should read the UK ROTF comics, where a human hunter captures OP to take his head as a trophy, I laughed out loud on that one, and especially how OP deals with him – for a moment you think he'll cut off the guy's head for his own trophy wall…

Yeah, like the comic will REALLY kill a character who survived the film. If he comes back for the third movie, they'll be in the shit. He ain't dyin'.

Badass, Just Badass, And I See Galloway Is Still Being A Bitch, Perphaps Sideswipe Will Cut Him In Half?

I had thought that Galloway was actually a Pretender at one point. But then I thought it would be deus ex machina, and I don't think the writers are smart enough to do something that stupid.
Even so, I look forward to the day his noisehole is silenced and we can declare damnatio memoriae* upon him forever.
*: Latin for 'damnation of memory' i.e. to make people forget a person ever existed.

Someone else broght up a good point. Is galloway a pretender?
Black Oracle
Looks like a real mystery is brewing for the bots and men at NEST. And Galloway ain't making things any easier at home base either.

dont think that will ever happen. you'd think this comic got to do with Bay? if SW dies in the next series, blame the IDW team.
it would be stupid for Bay's team to kill SW offscreen in TF3 since Ehren is now taking the place to write the movie and hes been talking about SW in TF2 interviews.
nice preview nonetheless. can't wait to see more!

So from the cover it looks like soundwave is going to die before we get to TF3.
I wouldnt really be suprised since Bay obviously didnt want to have him in the movie to begin with. Since his part was relegated purely to satelite mode and he killed off ravage in a dispicable manner.
I for one will be upset if soundwave is indeed murdered off screen as it would be complete bulls#$t, not that I thought his movie cameo was that great but I am never opposed to see what his earth form would have been.

None of you get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GALLOWAY IS A PRETENDER JUST LIKE ALICE. dosnt take a genius to see that coming.
Bahamut Prime
So Galloway's still a dick, what can we say? I'd say somehow, he needs to bite the bullet, but other than that, interesting review so far!

This news is the best news.

Whoever kills him I will celebrate as a national hero. Even he didn't give any respect for poor Breakaway. *sniff*
