Though, one thing: Technically, the enigma was used so that Alpha Bravo could replace Slingshot, and thus form a better combiner, so isn't that sort of an issue, or is it just not an issue since Superion was formed already before the enigma and the new member doesn't matter

Well, the original gestalt was formed independently, but you're correct that the Enigma was used to add Alpha Bravo to the group. Maybe that's why Superion is able to feel the effects of the Enigma but ultimately overpower it: Only a fifth of his mind is subject to its effect.

At the same time, Combiner Wars clearly showed him being repaired by the enigma, so it was used to full effect on his components, but the original way he formed still stands.
Just wanted to see if anyone else had thought of anything along there!

I'm intrigued by Soundwave and his sudden scanning of the human minds and how that changed his so quick. It felt a bit off, but at the same time, it was kinda awesome?
Also loved the whole titan rising part. Starscream, the "chosen one" who "raised a titan" and all that, watching as well as circuit and by extension everyone on Cybertron. Talk about backfiring in the best of ways.
And what is with Alpha Trion? The old dude is someone I have been keeping my eye on, and dang he sure knows now to raise a duex es machina, doesn't he? The 13 in IDW may not be divine, but this one sure is proving to be...interesting.
I'm a bit sad about Superion, but there are ways around him not forming ever again
