i hope we see galvy's right and left hand men as well Cyclonus and Scourge. That nice little trio can cause as much havoc as an army

[Calvatron]

Yeah!, I knew the galvatron spotlight was gonna kick @$$! (Jumps around, does cartwheels and handstands until dizzy and falls over) I'm just glad this all this cool stuff isn't coming out till summer or I'd never graduate this year.

I would love to see Galvatron Cyclonus and Scourge as their own army/trio but as revamped as we are getting with this new timeline, I think Cyclonus and Scourge should come in much later. It appears Galvatron doesn't have his own "team" thats why he takes on the Decepticon banner just to use the Cons on Earth for his own mission/purpose for existence.

I'd like to see Galvatron the ruthless yet intelligent TF he was supposed to be in the original TF movie, without being controlled by Unicron though it appears he does answer to someone here as well (maybe a much more ancient Decepticon than him!)

Either way, this run of TF beats out Marvel and DW put together. Bringing the TF in this manner has certainly been stepped up. Maybe Megatron and Galvatron are old acquantances he would trust him to lead his cons while he takes care of himself after the beating Prime is going to lay on him. Maybe Prime takes a beating and deactivates for a while for healing purposes and Hot Rod assumes control.

All time favorite cover of TF's is the Megs/Galvatron cover from the UK run where they're stepping on Topspin's (?) head - brilliant.

I hope Op beats Megs in Escalation in order to bring in Galvatron as back up - which then requires Magnus to equal the odds.

As for Cyclonus and Scourge, I liked them as a duo rather than underlings to Galvatron. They always struck me as a 'modern' Starscream, always trying to usurp Galvatron. Although with them, you always thought they may actually have a chance.

Shockwave/Galvatron was another fued I always liked. The logic of Shockers Vs. the ruthlessness of Galvatron was a nice counter balance.

Guys, I read through the Nightbeat spotlight again last night and something occurred to me. On Gorlam Prime, Nightbeat found that the inhabitants had begun to turn themselves biomechanical and he assumed that it was part of their evolution. But who else do we know who has been messing around with biomechanics? That's right, Scorponok.

Now, what if Scorponok has been to Gorlam Prime and initiated this new biomechanical era? Nightbeat also observed evidence of outside interference there in terms of technology. It is exactly what was beginning to happen on Nebulos and now Earth. If Scorponok has been there then this raises a couple of extremely interesting questions:

a) did Scorponok bump into Galvatron on Gorlam Prime, who then deprived Scorponok of the rest of his body?

or b) are Scorponok and Galvatron in league with one another?

I'm certain there is a link. It makes sense in terms of the narrative, constantly peeling back the curtain to find an even bigger threat beyond it. Isn't that what Simon Furman said he was going to do? It also directly ties in the Galvatron storyline with what is happening on Earth, making his threat seem more immediate. I guess we'll find out in Escalation 5 and 6.

So what do you think?
