The Decepticons are defeated. What's next?

[superboyprime]

Yep, it's happened again. It wouldn't be a proper Transformers series if Optimus doesn't bite it at least once. There's a new twist on it this time around, though.











Later, Optimus splits the Matrix in half and gives one half each to Bumblebee and Rodimus. Then he makes good on his promise and leaves.

That's pretty cool.

The returner position was kinda jerkish, but not so much so that you don't understand where they're coming from, and they do approach with words and negotiation.

Metalhawk and Dai Atlas, huh?

Well, IDW TF's certainly had enough vague extradimensional intelligences hijacking Cybertronian conflicts for their own ends.. and, of course, who can forget Overlord?

(I still want to know what happened to Black Shadow.. he's the only unaccounted for Phase Sixer so far. Death in the line of duty, I suppose.)

There's no way this is going to backfire horribly.

Somehow from the last scan I get the mental image of Orion riding into the sunset on a giant motorcycle, merrily laughing as he tosses his hat into the air. As the hat hits the road you can faintly hear his cry of "Later, sucker!" in the distance...

I sorta likes this, actually. Not the returners, so much, as having Optimus 'die' like this.

What's Metal Hawk been in, because he sounds like a real douche ("We outnumber you, now hit the road!" "Your civil war, our planet"). I mean, when Optimus scowls "You ran." he musta been a real ass.

What's with Dogfight here? He talks about "serving some guy who says he's a Prime," when he was serving under Optimus on the Orbital Command Hub before...

Is this a case of IDW not paying attention to their own continuity?

[sharky_chan]

Wow. A lot has happened, apparently, since I fell behind in IDW's 'verse...or is this a different world from Infiltration/Escalation/Devastation stuff?
