Okay, I need some help on this before trying to update Brainstorm through ''[[Dark Cybertron]]''. In [[Remain in Light 1 of 5: The Fecund Moon|MTMTE #17]], Brainstorm indicated he was Forged, and "marched for knockoffs". In [[Remain in Light 5 of 5: This Calamitous Life|#21]], though, he seemed to be suffering the effects of the universal killswitch, meaning he was REALLY Constructed Cold and misrepresenting himself. But ''Dark Cybertron'' confirmed Brainstorm HAD NO spark since the launch of the ''Lost Light'' thanks to the Dead Universe. So how could he be affected by the killswitch? --[[User:Xaaron|Xaaron]] ([[User talk:Xaaron|talk]]) 12:42, 23 May 2014 (EDT)

:Nova's corpse didn't render Brainstorm completely sparkless, it just left his spark in a low yield, "undead" state (I think Roberts confirmed this on Twitter sometime). And so the killswitch could still affect him, in the same way that you can "kill" a zombie, even though it's undead. [[User:Jalaguy|Jalaguy]] ([[User talk:Jalaguy|talk]]) 13:14, 23 May 2014 (EDT)

While I appreciate the recognition that the Japanese version of Brainstorm is rather different than the version in the first-paragraph summary, the summary is also significantly different (aside from the mention of Arcana) from any other non-IDW version. --G.B.

I agree. The dodgy and amoral stuff is strictly IDW when it comes to Brainstorm.--Nu-Priest (talk) 14:59, 3 January 2014 (EST)
Yeah, I'll put my hands up here, I probably did go a little overboard when I updated that intro. Feel free to go hack'n'slash on it. Jalaguy (talk) 17:35, 3 January 2014 (EST)

Dead Universe / Constructed Cold

Okay, I need some help on this before trying to update Brainstorm through Dark Cybertron. In MTMTE #17, Brainstorm indicated he was Forged, and "marched for knockoffs". In #21, though, he seemed to be suffering the effects of the universal killswitch, meaning he was REALLY Constructed Cold and misrepresenting himself. But Dark Cybertron confirmed Brainstorm HAD NO spark since the launch of the Lost Light thanks to the Dead Universe. So how could he be affected by the killswitch? --Xaaron (talk) 12:42, 23 May 2014 (EDT)
