-You see what's above? FOr me, that's to much focus on the villains.-

What, having several pages of development given to them? As opposed to the many issues of the good guys? It's not like Megatron, Shockwave, and so on don't have a lot more than this group.

I dunno, I like my baddies with some development. It's not like they're even close to the focus, and without it they'd just be faces to be shot at, and it's not like we haven't had our share of rather interesting situations before. This is unlikely to just be a straitforward battle.

Heck, fighting Overlord in Last Stand of the Wreckers ended up really interesting, and he was super powerful himself.

-They're more powerful than Transformers that can decimate planets.-

Collectively, yea, not individually. So are several other bots we know.

The Lost Light has a rather interesting crew itself.

A Wreckers team vs a Phase Sixer seems to be a fight that can go either way, and a Wreckers team doesn't have Ultra-Magnus...


-So where were they when Overlord went rogue.-

Probably with no idea where he went and waiting for him to show up; remember they found *this* traitor probably centuries after he went missing, quite possibly millennia, and even maybe longer than that.

-Why did they play no part when Thunderwing was ruining Cybertron? What about during the Expansion? -

Hunting traitors and fighting Autobots. Or heck, possibly there fighting Thunderwing because we have no idea the precise forces involved. Or maybe some of them hadn't even come online yet- that was millions of years ago after all. They could've been rookies on the line who proved themselves against Thunderwing. Or they could've been on another front. When Thunderwing hit, only the forces they could bring in in time showed up.

With the Expansion, that was a Dead Universe thing, the Decepticons weren't really involved with that anyway. If Megatron and Starscream wasn't in, no surprise that the DJD wasn't either.

Here's a question for you: What do you think Omega Supreme was doing during those time? Metroplex? The Dinobots? Arcee? Ultra Magnus? I mean, we can assume most of them were involved, but it wasn't point out, "Hey, they're right there!" because the battle against Thunderwing wasn't about that.


The Transformers in IDW are explicitly spread around dozens/hundreds of worlds, and we don't follow every front or close to it, most of the time we follow small numbers of key known bots fighting over important objectives, but we do get plenty of glimpses elsewhere. We know Decepticons in the DJD, possibly when they weren't assembled for official duty, were involved in quite a few fights because one of them kept shooting Autobots in the symbols to pass messages to Red Alert and other medics working for Springer.
