I've been wondering about what they were doing the whole time on Earth? It seems like people really don't like Transformers, would they not notice Bob who really can't hide in disguise?
Bob has largely stayed on ships and such- I think he only went public when he was left with Thundercracker who's not hiding himself. He does provoke reactions in the Revolutions one shot
Yeah, that's why I was wondering why no one made a fuss before then. As far as I remember he didn't appear since the end of ongoing until issue #50 of ex_RID.
Sunstreaker and Bob were on the Lost Light for awhile (though not in a major role. Spotlight Hoist has them most obviously). He only came to Earth with Optimus in 'All Hail Optimus.'
I thought I saw him on the Lost Light! But, since I didn't see him again after, I wasn't sure if he was there or not.
He was there in a couple fights in S1, then he left on the return to Cybertron, was involved in Combiner Wars (I mean, joining the Ultra Prime combiner and everything!), and was on Cybertron for awhile til finally moving to Earth with all the forces Optimus brought with him in All Hail Optimus.
That's one of the problems with the Lost Light having so many members, it just gets too messy and you start forgetting character. I'm always surprised finding out X______ was on the ship...huh? It's really weird when it's characters from 84 and 85 on the ship and they do nothing relevant at all. Like might as well not have them on board right?
