Only reason I didn't put Prime here is because of what happend at the end of issue 5. But believe me, I want Prime back soon. It's way too early for him to be gone. Heck he shouldn't be gone at all.

I'd vote Hot Rod, but only by virtue of his rank (from the spotlight, despite no longer actually leading teams as such, he does have the rank to do so, probably at least on a par with prowl)

if not, then prowl, with hot-rod butting heads. but i don't know, they seemed to get on pretty well. maybe prowl to lead, but with hotrod advising and/or off on some secondary mission (maybe to rescue ratchet and ironhide?).

the wreckers are an independant fighting force, you wouldn't expect them to take charge of anyone else as such - just level the place and anyone that got in the way, regardless of orders from prowl/hotrod etc.

maybe its time we had a new guy step in, whose motives are unkown to us? or not.

with any luck, prime will still be a floaty head in a jar and thus able to give orders, if not fight.

If we compare to what happened in the DW version, Prime went into stasis locked and was in a repair bay for what seemed like forever while Prowl took his team to Earth to establish Autobot City while Magnus headed up efforts on Cybertron.

This seems like a complete turn around because Magnus now is a loner kind of TF while Prowl is one way, second in command but only because he lead a small group of Autobots on Earth. With Hot Rod's arrival, I would almost assume he would take command because he headed a team up before but does he want too, that's the question. The way it was already set up, Prowl would lead because he already was in charge.

What was already mentioned was that the 3 components of Optimus work together and after we assumed Prime was dead, here comes Roller so Prime isn't dead. Probably just in stasis lock...maybe we get something to similiar to that one cartoon episode where Spike and friends had to rush to Cybertron to get some "part" so they can fix Prime before he dies...does anyone remember that episode? Of course I doubt that'll happen this time but just wanted to bring up that one episode.

It would be neat to see double spotlight features focusing on the former friendship of Jetfire and Starscream, as well as the relationship between Omega and Devastator, if their pasts were all indeed linked in this continuity.

I voted for Prowl since he's second in command with the unit on Earth, but I don't think that Prime will die. It's just to early in the series to kill him off.

maybe i'm in denial but i don't think Prime is dead and gone. maybe for #6, but who knows what's gonna happen. I don't think the cons will give the earth-bots a chance to regroup if he is though.
