Good stuff. Definitely good stuff.
I dig Ratchet's and Drift's origin so far, kind of sad to see Drift that way. His current attitude can be contributed, in real life terms, to that of a recovered addict, but then there's 4 million years of bloodshed in between
Kind of random appearance of Sonic and Boom.
Interesting to see that Nominus basically lied to everybody about his matrix, and that Sentinel basically did him in. I always thought that Sentinel was the most decent of the false Primes, but if the rumours from the Senator are true, and with a little guesswork...*perhaps he's behind the murders, using his men to frame the Decepticons, staging the whole uprising with Senator Ratbat to coax the public and the other senators to give him more power as Prime than the police chief he used to be*.
Furthermore, I'm starting to piece together a theory about Skids...*what if all those skills he has come from the relinquishment clinic? What if he used to be a rent a body bot\addict, inheriting memories and skills from those he inhabited\came into his body?*
Fun guesses at to who Roller is...probably some other cop\friend of Pax who gets downsized or named in honour to his drone.
Current day events, I'm not sure why Rodimus thinks it's Cyclonus. But it's been foreshadowed, about the state of the victim I mean, in the annual cover. He's the only one without lit optics. Really hope we learn much more about it.
