What if... Starscream got trapped within Autobot City instead of shooting his own foot free?

 

I'll be checking this out, but my main fear is that this book will be catering to the "Transformers was only good during Season 1 and 2 of the cartoon" crowd. Put me in the camp that hope that Hot Rod still emerges as the hero of this story and saves them from Unicron. Maybe Optimus will get killed off trying to save Cybertron from Unicron and somehow Rodimus will emerge trying to open the Matrix to save Earth. I'm starting to think that this should be a mini-series and not just a stand-alone.

 

In the actual comic, yes. But in a "What if?" like I mentioned, the Cons would've been victorious if they weren't poisoned by Buster's dad. Remember, they'd pretty much won except for that n then Optimus goes into speech mode saying the bots owed Sparkplug. Then, BOOM! Shockwave.

 

And what is wrong with thinking this way? I happen to hate Hot Rod.

 

But Rumble is red...
