    Well if Roberts was able to make someone like Drift very likeable and developed then I'm sure he can find a way to make Arcee at least decent and fun to watch even if I'm not a fan of her.

    If Roberts actually managed to do this I'd legitimately start thinking he's a wizard.

    No.

    Drift was just bland, though. IDW Arcee's character is fundamentally dumb. Her mere existence and history within IDW means she's unsalvagable.

    Yup pretty much.

    Arcee's just too far gone.

    And you two are sure of this because?

    Look I'm far from being the biggest supporter of her nor of the IDw fembots origin but all the same I'm not against the idea of her being at least decent in the hands of a good writer. It'll likely never happen but all the same I'm willing to keep an open mind.

    Because she's a shit character with a shit origin and is unfixable unless they completely retcon her character which is something I highly doubt they're interested in doing.

    Whereas Drift was a meh character with a meh origin that didn't shit all over a type of Transformer (fembots).

    I am not against the Fembots. In Arcee case I rather retcon the idea and start a fresh with new char. I am going say you can have female looking char but who well written with a good past. I will be fine with that. Arcee had been badly mishandled from the start of IDW. I rather see her disappear from the book or just forgotten than have any more energy put in her.

    I'm betting either Bumblebee or Prowl dies.

    The original Ultra Magnus returns in a dramatic moment!

    Then gets stepped on by the Necrotitan.

    Ummm... If you look at the cover of Chapter 12 (the one with Metroplex on it) you can see what looks like Bee & Prowl.

    Personally, I wish Bee would get killed after the mess he made.

    It's was originally a cover for the Metroplex toy I don't think it has any relevance on the comic. They are probably just using it because it's a cool cover.
