    "Oh, uh, Prowl, you're...allergic...to UV light. And, um, so is half the crew. Yep. Allergic. Everyone's allergic."

    Agreed! Roberts loves Nightbeat (I mean he wrote a whole novel with Nightbeat as the central character!) and I'd love to see First Aid given the job of monitoring NB's Dead Universe exposure and in the process...perhaps find a way back from the brink. I realize that sounds horribly cliche but c'mon! If Roberts can't have his Holmes/Watson thing what good is the world!?

    I'm calling that Needlenose and the rest of the unaffiliated don't join the crew simply because Megatron is on board.

    Soundwave has to be there, which should hopefully mean Blaster goes with Prime to Earth.

    I'm calling that Megatron calls for the dissolution of the 'Decepticons' at the end of Dark Cybertron and takes the name 'Autobot' as a means of amends. He then joins the crew to track down the Knights of Cybertron to ask them why they allowed Cybertron to fall so far (I'm guessing the Knights have been watching everything going on since they left but didn't interfere...also that they are Quintessons). On the way they encounter/bump into/destroy the WAP and meet up with the Scavengers then run afoul of the DJD as they hunt Overlord. Really, an Overlord vs. Megatron confrontation has been simmering since LSOTW!

    Well, I honestly hated most of the RiD cast and don't really want that baggage fouling up the Lost Light.

    We see Megs is there in some fashion, but honestly I think that him taking command is a dumb idea. I would rather him take a place on board similar to Cyclonus.. a passenger with his own agenda.

    I'd like most of the original crew to return. Including Drift at some point.

    He didn't say he was "looking forward to writing" it, he was talking about how there's some in Dark Cybertron.

    I was paraphrasing. I tried finding the original tweet but no joy. Either way it looks like Chromedome/Prowl interaction ^_^

    Why? Regardless of his personal agenda, he has lead the Decepticons through 5 million years of war. I would think he is more qualified if
    Rodimus is indeed dead and UM doesn't feel he is a leader

    So was Optimus, but he knew his time as a commander/leader was over and didnt want to step on Rodimus' toes

    I'd love for Smokescreen to move up to the main roster. He's had very little to do in IDW thus far, and it would be great to see them develop his personality and give him an actual back story. There's some untapped potential there, I think. :D

    I could see it now. Smokescreen works his way into the main cast of MTMTE. Suddenly it's revealed he has a massive gambling addiction and is very prone to cheating to win. Let the shenanigans begin.

    Well, maybe just a little. :lol 

    YES! And perhaps Smokey could convince Swerve to add a gaming room in the back of his bar somewhere. It could have game tables and slot machines!

    Just had a flashback to a recent episode of MASH.

    Smokescreen: I need to get into the game!
    Swerve: I don't know what you're talking about.
    Smokescreen: You know, THE GAME.
    Swerve: *turns back, holds out hand* I don't know what you're talking about.
    Smokescreen: Oh. *gives 5 shanix*
    Swerve: 5 more.
    Smokescreen: HOW'D YOU KNOW?! *gives another 5*
    Swerve: Ok, right this way. *leads to hidden closet that's really a gambling parlor*

    I like this Smokescreen development idea. I can see it now: The lost light is hailed by the Corlioninites and demand the ship be handed over to them! Megatron refuses, and the Corlioninites demand 10 billion shanix or they'll blow up the lost light in 2 days!!

    We switch to a a scene in Swerve's Bar. Smokescreen is at the bar drinking with his head down. Swerve approaches.

    Swerve: Hey Smokes, why the long face? Megatron is a feared warlord, he'll get us out of this!

    Smokescreen: I'm not worried about what he'll do to them...it's what he's going to do to me that's got me upset....

    Swerve: Oh, using a card trick to get Whirl to pay your tab is not a punishable offense...

    Smokescreen: mumble..mumble....

    Swerve: Say again?

    Smokescreen: THIS IS ALL MY FAULT!!!

    Swerve: Wha? How?!?

    Smokescreen: Remember Hedonia? I kinda made a small bet on a race. Nothing much...just the deed to the SHIP!!!!

    Swerve: Ummm...yeah, not good. Rodimus may have laughed it off, but Megatron...yikes. If I can ask, what was the race?

    Smokescreen: Bet it all on Dirt Boss to win the Planet Cup. Dumb, I know, but it paid out 113 to 1.....

    No he said that they'd have a larger role in a story in More Than Meets The Eye's second year which we already saw in Spotlight: Hoist

    I hope Grimlock joins the crew. We haven't seen much of him in quite a while. After Maximum Dinobots, we hear nothing until LSotW in which he was mentioned as having been taken from the prison, then the brief appearance with the DJD, where he was left behind.

    Nah man, The Scavengers took Grimlock with them. He'd be seen again on their ship playing Cybertronian Jenga while all the rest of the Scavengers were dying from spark burnout after Tyrest activated the killswitch.
