Thank you. Other than Scorponok nothing else in that sentence is familiar to me. . But at least 1 of my favorite characters is back. Hopefully he will be written in a good way.Kurona wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:What happened on the last page?
Scorponok is revealed to be the one leading Flame etc., and the 'resus cradle' he stole from Mengel turns out to be The Magnificence.

Afterwards, he fights in the gladiatorial combat arena until his second-to-last bout where he realizes no-one who faces Overlord comes. Scorponok then stole Skyquake's Worldburner (taking Grimlock with him to experiment on a 0.1 Percenter) which brought him to a hub which he has maintained. After becoming brainwashed, Grimlock is shot into space aboard a Worldburner aimed at Clemency, a presumed dead world, to serve as the Infinite's protector.

The good part about this one is that there's very little to remember. It was one of Furman's plots that got destroyed by AHM so it wouldn't shock me to see Roberts re-explain it or thoroughly retcon it to seem different than past perception would have allowed.Burn wrote:So once again I am expected to remember stuff that happened years ago?

I'm well aware of how comics work thank you.
I just find these Transformer comics seem to like to throw back to some small plot point from years ago and we're expected to remember them.

Yes Scorponok certainly was just a small plot point years ago. He totally wasn't the dude who first introduced headmasters in IDW and was the mastermind behind the Machination an organization that was the behind a half the stuff going in the first 5 years of IDWs universe and wasn't the main villain in Maximum dinobots and certainty didn't play the main villain in monstrocity a couple years ago.
Such a nothing character to be forced to remember.
Real reason:
Because he's getting a new toy in a year or two and it's time to bring him back to build on it. There's your actual explanation.

That's not what Burn was talking about. Of course it's easy to remember Scorponok. But like Va'al said, the last time he was in IDW was nearly a decade ago. That's a long time in the comics world and we can't be expected to remember every little detail regarding the character, especially if the last main story he was in got just kinda pushed to the side by AHM. So just because you remember better than others, doesn't mean you should be condescending.Randomhero wrote:Burn wrote:Daniel Adkins wrote:Burn wrote:So once again I am expected to remember stuff that happened years ago?

I agree with this 100%.Real reason:

With the Throttlebots set to return in Optimus Prime #13, I imagine we'll get at least some hint of this soon!Rodimus Prime wrote:And yes, where is Sixshot?
