			Alright, so, it's been 3 years since MTMTE started and Rewind's actually done stuff. I'm starting to think that since Rewind's IDW section is entirely normal prose, the rest of the article could probably stand to change, like how McFeely says. Maybe keep the opening. Any thoughts?

			== Trivia format vs. IDW stories ==

			The trivia note format is cute, but... I kinda feel like it's undermining the actual info when it comes to the IDW section. Rewind's been a major player for quite a few issues, and we're not really doing him justice right now. Sure, we could expand, but after a while it's gonna get unwieldy. I'd favor having a regular-text expansion after the trivia notes:
			:: *Got golden discs from Swindle just before leaving with Rodimus's crew in the Lost Light?
			:: It's true! Swindle was a bit surprised to find out that a "nice little Autobot" like Rewind was into such things, but Rewind's interest was not personal. Nor professional.
