    Sunstreaker is actually a great parallel to Chromia, given that both of them were involved in attempted genocide. Sunstreaker got blown up, but then that was treated like his redemption by his friends in power and he's just been good for crowd scenes and cameos since.

    That's absurd, and I think it comes from a reluctance to look too closely at the various deus ex machinae of the McCarthy/Costa era. But as one of the early major characters of IDW he needs followup.

    Alpha Bravo: Drugged Slingshot, tied him up and stashed him in a cupboard just so he could replace him as Superions leg.. AND make transformers collectors have a collective meltdown! THE DASTARDLY BLIGHTER!

    You know, I'd definitely be up for that. I'm no fan of Sunstreaker, but his whole betrayal thing really has been left up in the air and seemingly forgotten after Chaos Theory. It'd be nice to at least have some closure there.

    And also more Bob. :)

    This is way too much of a coincidence, Tyrest should have made his kill switch to take out helicopter transformers instead of constructed cold.

    I read this tonight. Have to say that I was totally underwhelmed. I think the art, the pacing and the story all felt clunky and ham-handed. I see that other people seem to like it, so I guess it is just not my cup of tea.

    Corrupting our pre-schoolers, laws exist to stop that kind of stuff.

    Maybe transformers could do their own version of our TV show "how to catch a predator" and call it "how to catch a helicopter" instead

    I think his last appearance was in Dark Cybertron:

    Roberts confirmed that he's no longer on the Lost Light so maybe we'll get to see more of him in the Windblade ongoing.

    So he is in Windblade? I am actually hoping to see him more in action in the Comic Books.

    Not yet, we're just speculating as we only know a few of the bots that'll be in WB.

    Duh. That's the game plan.

    I was thinking of adding some Decepticons too it to really mix things up like Skywarp, Blitzwing, Rumble and Frenzy from RID.

    I hope pops up soon.
