...."the eyes of a headless Sunstreaker"? Am I the only one finding that this statement makes no sense whatsoever? --Detour 17:52, 20 August 2009 (EDT)

Duly modified. However, not having the issue in question, I was only able to make a best guess on what was meant from context. Someone with the issue in hand should double-check my edit.--Apcog 18:24, 20 August 2009 (EDT)

I wonder if the continuity Errors in the Sunstreaker story are actually down to Sunstreaker being an arrogant, delusional jerk? It is all from Sunstreaker's POV, after all. I admit, at first I thought it was another of Shane McCarthy's gleeful promotions of previously competent bots to superhero levels, but the Hunter@Machination dialogue in particular struck me as Sunstreaker deluding himself and rewriting the past to suit his arrogance. Could this section be rebadged as "items of note" instead? (Danforth from the IDW forum)

That may be the best solution, but without any evidence to support the idea of this being Sunstreaker's delusions, it's all pure speculation, and we try to avoid that here. In fact, I'm going to comment-hide that sentence for now. The only reason I won't outright delete it is that if someone at IDW ever confirms that this issue is, indeed, Sunstreaker's delusional POV, we can restore the sentence with its counterpoint that said twist is never made clear.--Apcog 19:11, 26 August 2009 (EDT)
I will fight against such an inclusion. They would just be covering their arse for steamrollering over Devastation. --FFN 12:59, 10 September 2009 (EDT)

Dead Universe "Decepticons"?

Are they ever directly stated as such? Because the Dead Universe Cybertronians predate the factions.--RosicrucianTalk 20:24, 20 August 2009 (EDT)

Good point - I'll adjust it. --MistaTee 21:44, 20 August 2009 (EDT)


Redirect

I know why it's been done, but considering that the much more likely search is The Rebirth, wouldn't redirecting to the trilogy make more sense User:Eire 18.19 Aug 21 09 (UTC)

"Cameos"

I reject the idea that the generics include Side Burn, Roulette, and Bulkhead. If they're intended homages, they're altered enough to the point where it doesn't matter anymore. (People DO remember that Side Burn, like, has a big monocle eye, right?) --ItsWalky 08:50, 1 September 2009 (EDT)

I think "Sideburn" is the only one you can make a case for, but it'd be nice if we could get some confirmation from either Josh or Emiliano... --Nu-Priest 08:58, 1 September 2009 (EDT)

Machination?

I was just wondering, was it ever called the Machination in this issue? I ask because Continuum confuses Skywatch and Machination and all. I wonder if the two organizations are confused in this issue also. It makes the plot holes make a little more sense. It would answer the question "why would Scorponok require them to gather 'data' if he is already familiar with Cybertronian anatomy?" - Starfield 23:13, 15 November 2009 (EST)

Nope, it was not... But Machination was explicitly stated in other McCarthy-penned issues. --Detour 23:30, 15 November 2009 (EST)
Not to mention is was also explicit that Sunstreaker's head was kept in a Machination base and he was worked on by Machination scientists in all the other series.
