    Let's face it, a lot of characters didn't get a Spotlight issue that needed one while others less deserving did. (I'm looking at you Wheelie) Characters I feel that needed time in the spotlight are -
    Starscream - come on, you can't have too much Starscream:D 

    Octane
    Skywarp
    Astrotrain
    Jetfire
    The Combaticons
    What are your thoughts?

    Honestly shocked we never saw anything from that planned Punch Counterpunch mini that got canceled.

    They can probably rework it into IDW 2 down the line.

    All of the Seekers. Especially Starscream (I'm surprised he didn't get one), Skywarp, Sunstorm, Slipstream, the G1 (the original, male) Rainmakers, Red Wing...

    For a weird second there, I was so sure there had been a Punch/Counterpunch Spotlight, then I realized I was thinking of Spotlight: Mirage, which reads rather like a Punch/Counterpunch story.

    Spotlight Mirage is one of my favorites, along with the Drift Spotlight. Both had great art and an interesting story.

    Agreed! On the whole, I really miss the Spotlight series; those were my favorite IDW stories.

    Springer, Sunstreaker, Bluestreak, Slag or any other dinobot besides Grimlock, Unicron, Primus, any of the 13 primes, BW Dinobot, Deathsaurus, Elita-1, Blackarchnia, Airazor, some of the combaticons like swindle, onslaught or blastoff. Any member of the aerialbots or protect bots. Optimus primal, BW Megatron, Lightbright, wreck-gar, sky-byte, punch/counterpunch, SG cliffjumper, SG Sideswipe and that's I can think about for now.

    Starscream could use one.

    Jetfire. He was oddly just sort of ... there, but the running gag with him of actually being a scientist with minimal combat training who kept getting used either as an air warrior or assigned to pilot duties just because he happened to turn into a jet, and being somewhat snarky about it, suggested he might have had an entertaining 'voice' to tell a tale.

    They were a series of one shot comics by IDW that each told a story that focused on a specific character.

    Ahhh are those comics about the 2005 IDW universe. I thought it was some kind of debate.
