    As much as I'm enjoying it (and I still have little idea how it will end), I want DC to hurry up and finish so we can get on with the #28s. Consider my appetite whetted!

    MTMTE's sounds so awesome and interesting. I just want Dark Cybertron to be over even more then I did before today!

    But I really hope Rodimus isn't dead. It will be strange to have the Lost Light without him and he still has a lot of character development to get through, which we've only seen the beginnings of and killing off one of (if not the) main character of MTMTE is a crappy crossover is just completely lame. That makes me doubt he is dead.

    Also, I'm personally not going to take "assumes control" as "becomes captain". Solicitations often mislead and Megatron can be "assuming control" in ways that don't literally mean taking Rodimus' job.

    "Eh" at RID returning to Earth. I have never found any of IDW's Earth stories particularly interesting, so maybe they can spice it up a little It seems like a bit of a cop-out to have them leave Cybertron unsuccessful considering "The Death of Optimus Prime", though, but hopefully Windblade makes for a Cybertron story more interesting then RID's.

    I cannot stand Livio's art. Why does he keep getting the job for "Special" covers like this and the Anniversary editions? There are so many better artists at IDW's disposal.

    Accepted! I'm hoping we get a slightly humbled Megatron, a team player. Just a touch of G2.

    It is going be interesting season 2 I mean didn't Roberts hint at the return of DJD and the Scavengers. I think the wierdos are going be in for a shock when there is a responsible leader. It is going be twisted fun.

    In RID there been a vacuum for a leader sometime. Prowl was out of control, Bee is too insecure in handling the crisis. Soundwave has been reluctant leader, and Starscream is been bad leader because he has no idea what a leadership skills are. He is a good second for a while. I am curious to see where the NAILS are going be in the RID. I am hoping to see more of Jazz and some teaser chars like the underused ones. It might be a good direction have Optimus Prime back.

    I really don't care about the humans in the IDW series, but I do care about how Thundercracker is doing alone on earth.

    Can't wait to see how Megs gonnna react when he finds Whirl aboard Lostlight.

    I had heard that their would be a cast shake up in MTMTE season2, so it is possible Whirl won't remain on the Lost Light. It would certainly be interesting if he remains though!!!!

    MTMTE sounds good. Seriously hope Rodimus isn't dead, though.

    Windblade sounds good.

    RID sounds like it could become incredibly boring, but we'll just have to wait and see...

    Wow, so much for my three ongoings theory. Guess RiD has such a nebulous concept that you can change its planet, plot, and central character no problemo :lol

    I guess this means the female Cybertronians really aren't the Knights after all.

    I'm still shocked. Autobot Megatron? What does this even mean?!Does this mean the Matrix is gone as well as the lineage of the Primes? But Orion is becoming Optimus Prime again...

    And what happens to Metroplex? Is he going to Earth too? (Autobot city!Autobot City!)

    Matrix has been gone for awhile.

    It got depleted, and half of its shell was sacrificed to stop Tyrest's killswitch signal.

    The Matrix has been "gone". Its empty halves were given to Rodimus and Bumblebee, and Rodimus's half ended up getting disintegrated.

    Nice to see all of those hints at Thundercracker appearing in RiD from two years ago finally coming to fruition! :D 

    Also, this raises an interesting question: if not a new ongoing spinning out of Dark Cybertron, what is Shane McCarthy writing?

    Orion no more, Optimus is back

    I wonder who among the Autobots goes to Earth with Prime? I imagine a combination of Bumblebee's group, maybe some Lost Light crew members.....

    Amidst a return to Earth, (which is . . . odd, given how WELL guys like Spike and Horiuchi treated them last time they were there), the Fan-Built Bot Windblade getting her own ongoing, and Megatron "taking control" of the Lost Light, this is clearly our biggest priority.

    And anyone who disagrees or thinks otherwise is a fool. :p
