They've always been brothers, in every continuity they've appeared in, to my knowledge. Why change a good thing? Why make it so... well, petty and weak would be a good wording for it. "I want to save him to one-up him"? So much for my thinking that anyone in the IDW universe actually CARED about anyone else. Of course, Sideswipe could be lying to himself about what he's really feeling... Also, he calls him "bro" in Megatron: Origins. I realize this storyline was written originally for Dreamwave, but is it still canon in IDWverse? And if so, how do you reconcile their much more twin-like behavior and Sideswipe's OBVIOUS AND GENUINE CONCERN (caps to emphasize that, sorry) in saying "I don't want you in there"? Is Sideswipe lying, is this a different continuity, or did you just not notice that discrepancy? Please answer me in some fashion, even if it is with one of your vague reassurances.

It goes to show the strength of the story-telling involved. Glad to hear Ultra Magnus will be appearing again; I always geta a little scared that he will go the same way the character did in the old Marvel TF Universe and just get forgotten about. Just for the record, Simon: you have said many times that you never got the chance to write the fianl battle between Magnus and Galvatron. As it never happened, care to share how this would have gone down?

Omega guarding the Ark, against the combiners, toss in Jetfire, Blaster & Sunnstreaker (after they bust outta autobot city) possibly even wheelie (for that crappy Jar-Jar effect hehehe) with a wicked parallel story arc, and intersects finally with Unicron being busted up. It might even work better on print. SF should write it! I generally just pick up the TP's but really haven't read much Transformers, SO if this has happened, then no need to heckle, just refer me to it so I could check it out. It may sound very Mobile Suit Gundam-ish but I think Furman could rock it!

Indeed... I should say buy the TPB and find out ;) But, since I'm a helluva guy, I think it was 2-3 pages after the cassette battle. Some dialogue and a scene of the combiners and Omega Supreme, who never made it into the movie, sans Devastator. So in essence, nothing essential if you haven't seen it, nice to have, and a bonus for buying the TPB. That's all I'm sayin', knowwhatI'msayin???? Anyway, yes, back to the wonderful Revelation!
