In 2005, IDW Publishing began a massive reimagining of one of the flagship franchises of the 1980s: The Transformers. It ended in 2018 with the inevitable confrontation with Unicron.But as the old Furmanism saying goes:It never ends.And sure enough in 2019, IDW presents a new take on the Robots in Disguise as written by Brian Ruckley and illustrated by Angel Hernandez and Ron Joseph known simply as:TransformersMany millions of years ago, Cybertron was not only peaceful and just, it was also an epic commerce hub for the cosmos! But even then, not everything was squeaky clean. Before Autobots waged their battle to destroy the evil forces of the Decepticons, they were keeping the peace to tame the rowdy forces of the Ascenticons and their shameless leader Megatron, whose rallies leave more than a few bots beaten up.And matters only get worse when the planet is shaken to its core by its first murder in living memory...In addition to the main series, which began in March 2019, several additional miniseries are set in the universe: | |

Canon Foreigner | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_113480b7 | comment |
Leviathan, a Canon Foreigner, is a massive bot as big as a Combiner, but she prefers to spend her time peacefully rolling along Cybertron in her alt-mode, a massive mobile factory machine that harvests and refines metals from the planet's surface to be used in the forging of new Cybertronians. Given the choice, she's happy avoiding conflict. Too bad the Decepticons decided not to give her a choice. Too bad for them. | |

The Call Knows Where You Live: Cyclonus tries to simply mind his own business and continue wandering about the wilderness... only to accidentally stumble on evidence of one of the Rise’s secret bases, causing Flamewar and Shadow Striker to attack him and pretty much forcing him to join in the investigation. | |

Brainwashed and Crazy: During the bar raid in issue 20, Mindwipe covers his escape by using his hypnotizing powers to make Bumper attack Prowl. The hypnosis is temporary, so all the Autobots have to do is pin him down until it wears off. Occasional references to the War of the Threefold Spark suggests that Exarchon's forces had some of these, as Pyra Magna mentions that Turmoil was one of a small handful who willingly followed him. | |

Gone Horribly Right | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_1994ba0b | comment |
Gone Horribly Right: As part of the buildup to their coup, Megatron had his lackeys set off a databomb to disable the entire Titan fleet except for Vigilem (whose Cityspeaker partner Skystalker was a member of the Rise) and Lodestar (who was away from Cybertron acting as Sentinel Prime's transport). Unfortunately, the databomb worked so well that the Decepticons aren't able to undo it and bring the dormant Titans under their control, even as the massive Transformers slowly begin entering Cybertron's atmosphere. Rather than risk the Autobots somehow finding a workaround, Megatron orders his minions to speed up their descent, resulting in the deaths of all the Titans. | |

The Exile | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_1b8c7503 | comment |
The Exile: Some years prior to the events of the series, Shockwave was exiled from Cybertron by Nominus Prime for some unknown crime (later issues reveal that Shockwave was on Exarchon's side during the War of the Threefold Spark). Megatron smuggled him back to run the Rise for him. The Constructicons and Insecticons are also exiles at the beginning, the former apparently because they lost control of Devastator and the latter because Nominus feared their Horror Hunger. Megatron claims that the Nominus Prime actually exiled a lot of dissenters to the colonies when he passed his Edict, which is part of why he so strongly opposes it. The Senate, for their part, publicly insists that no such exiles happened. | |

Arcee is, essentially, a middle ground between her original characterization (a kindhearted, motherly Heart) and her self from the previous IDW continuity (an Ax-Crazy Blood Knight with a dark past); a friendly but hot-tempered Boisterous Bruiser and ex-soldier who’s trying to settle down into a peaceful life as a mentor. | |

Citadel used a weapon known as an imploder to destroy his brother Titan (though available information suggests it was a Mercy Kill). | |

When the Autobots learn what he’s done, they go to arrest him at Ascenticon headquarters and Soundwave refuses to allow them in, starting a tense stand-off that Megatron only narrowly defuses by having Sixshot and his goons extract Barricade under the guise of a terrorist attack. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: The series takes place before the Autobot-Decepticon war and many characters, such as Bumblebee, have yet to join their traditional faction. Likewise, no one but Orion Pax has their faction symbol painted onto their chassis. This means that it's impossible to know who belongs to which faction unless they openly identify with one. Just what are those "spirits" who hang around Cyclonus? Is he genuinely being haunted, or are they just a representation of his own damaged psyche? Its not clear if Alpha Trion is a member of the Thirteen Primes here or just a wise old sage. On one hand he's never identified as anything more than an old knowledgable Cybertronian in-universe, however the lineup of the Thirteen shown is based on the Aligned continuity where he was a member and he's shown in a stained-glass mural alongside the other members of the group. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: Knock Out, on account of the comic merging his different depictions into this incarnation. His depiction here draws heavily from his original heroic IDW incarnation as a Velocitronian politician. However, it combines this with his original unethical Decepticon characterization from the Prime cartoon he originated in. As such though he's initially presented as a light-hearted competitor it's clear that as the Ascenticon/Decepticon representative he's the most morally dubious of the competitors and by comic's end it's revealed that he was in on all the sabotage, murder, and Minerva's frame up. | |

All or Nothing | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_2319aa2e | comment |
All or Nothing: In issue 30, Megatron is enraged when he learns that Orion Pax... Optimus Prime... has evacuated Iacon along with everyone who follows him. Blitzwing expresses confusion, since that now means that Iacon is completely under Decepticon control. A furious Megatron lays into him by pointing out that as long as Optimus lives... Megatron will never have full control of Cybertron. And without full control, he'll never be able to safely carry out his grand plan of revitalising the Cybertronian race. | |

As the Winged Moon is threatening to fall into Cybertron’s sun, Huffer frankly tells Enemy that if the Autobots have to evacuate the moon, Huffer is just gonna leave Enemy there to die while he gets to the shuttle. Harsh, but given that Enemy is a Rise spy partly responsible for the situation they’re in, it’s kind of hard to not cheer Huffer on. | |

Bizarre Alien Psychology: In the Valentines Day special, Glyph and Tap-Out are sent to study a primitive race of lemur-like aliens, only to be met with hostility whenever they try to communicate. It eventually turns out that the aliens are communal to such an extreme that their language is inextricably linked to their emotions and personal connections. They don’t understand Glyph and Tap-Out initially because they were speaking the words without having an emotional connection to them (or each other), which made the language confusing and frightening to the aliens. | |

The Dreaded | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_2ae29c0d | comment |
The Dreaded: Quake is notorious for his brutality in the war against the Threefold Spark and addiction to violence. When Orion and his team see that Megatron has added Quake to his militia, they seriously wonder if Megatron’s lost his mind. Optimus Prime resolves to stand against Megatron because he realises that the latter's path will result in Cybertronians becoming this to the rest of the universe. Each of the four Great Generals (Strika, Ultra Magnus, Pyra Magna and Dai Atlas) inspires this reaction. When a group of Decepticons attack Hound, Nautica and Wheeljack's convoy of civilians and organics fleeing Iacon, Dai Atlas' arrival sends them into a panicked retreat. Exarchon is terrifying enough that when Megatron is finally convinced he's returned, a temporary truce is declared between the Autobots and Decepticons so that they can concentrate on killing him off once and for all. | |

Shapeshifter Mode Lock: Leviathan is a massive Transformer who turned into an equally gigantic metal-harvesting machine, until she eventually transformed and stayed transformed, spending all of her time in vehicle mode to maximize her efficiency. She isn't actually mode-locked, but she insists that she is to the point of getting (temporarily) caught in a chasm caused by Cybertron's techtonic instability because she refused to assume her robot mode. Action Masters are reimagined as the “Iron Hope Hundred�, a population of colonists who crash landed on a remote planet and were forced to refuel on Nucleon to survive, frying their transformation cogs and leaving them stuck in robot mode. | |

Despite being arrogant and full of himself, when Straxxus is made aware Geomotus is present during a meeting with luminaries such as Highbrow and Mainframe he appeals to the neurodivergent geologist as the only one present who would understand the implications of his discoveries. When Geomotus not only agrees but brings up the absolute worst case scenario (that Cybertron might literally shake itself apart), Straxxus outright acknowledges that he hadn't foreseen that particular scenario. A later issue would clarify that the more Straxxus respects your intelligence, the nicer he is to you (he outright smiles while greeting Nautica, for example), suggesting that in terms of geology he acknowledges Geomotus as an equal. | |

Out-Gambitted: Spinister thinks he’s holding all the cards when he kidnaps Chromedome and rest of Ultra Magnus’s crew, holding them hostage to force Magnus to recover artifacts for him. He is proven very wrong when Victory Leo suddenly drops in to rip him and his gang to shreds. Turns out, the very second Spinister made his presence known, Magnus and Chromedome just activated a secret distress beacon to signal Leo for back-up. Megatron agrees to a final parley with Orion Pax, mostly because he sees it as an opportunity to trace his hidden position and thus hunt him down, and it's also a chance for him to have Pyra Magna, one of the Great Generals, assassinated. Notable, his own Great General Strika thinks it's a terrible idea and takes no part in the attempt other than acting as Megatron's emissary. Sure enough, Pyra was expecting such an attempt and her loyal followers the Companions handily see off the would-be assassins, and by the time Soundwave tracks Orion's signal a furious Megatron discovers he'd long since left Iacon and was now well out of his reach. | |

Gentle Giant: The dormant ship modes of the city sized titans are accompanied by information describing their personalities or deeds they've done which shown that many of them were quite benevolent, this also highlights why their destruction at the hands of the Decepticons decaying their orbit is such a tragedy. Leviathan, a Canon Foreigner, is a massive bot as big as a Combiner, but she prefers to spend her time peacefully rolling along Cybertron in her alt-mode, a massive mobile factory machine that harvests and refines metals from the planet's surface to be used in the forging of new Cybertronians. Given the choice, she's happy avoiding conflict. Too bad the Decepticons decided not to give her a choice. Too bad for them. | |

Does Not Know His Own Strength | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_38291355 | comment |
Does Not Know His Own Strength: Road Rage ends up inadvertently crushing an alien terrorist to death when she tries to tackle him to ground, failing to consider how fragile organics are compared to Transformers. The Constructicons, to the point that Hook at one point accidentally kills an unlucky worker by beaning him with a broken girder. | |

| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_3abfffa4 | comment |
David vs. Goliath: Lodestar vs Vigilem. Lodestar loses hard. An interesting example, as both participants are giant, being Titans; it’s just that Vigilem is even more giant. When they have a rematch (after Lodestar is upgraded with more armour and weaponry), she still comes off second best. She only wins by using a weapon specifically designed to kill Titans, losing an arm and suffering such heavy damage she can't even transform in the process. Cliffjumper vs Deathsaurus. | |

Foregone Conclusion | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_3bc88a7f | comment |
Foregone Conclusion: Unlike virtually every other continuity that comes to mind, the 2019 continuity takes place before the war. And so it's not a matter of if various conventions of Transformer lore come into play, but when. We know the Ascenticons will end up calling themselves Decepticons. And we know they're going to slam down against the Autobots eventually. | |

Bad Boss | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_3cb1d38d | comment |
Bad Boss: Sixshot is a power-tripping jerk towards the Rise goons under his command, slapping Flamewar around for failing to kill Cyclonus and nearly doing the same to Shadow Striker. His reputation is so bad that several Decepticons opt to continue guarding the practically empty Rise compound rather than transfer to Iacon where the action is, simply because they never want to work under him again. Megatron proves even worse post-Sanity Slippage, beating Shockwave within an inch of his life for getting too independent. | |

Greenlight also notes that he signed the Voin’s death warrant the second he smashed its environmental suit, but beat it to death anyways just for the hell of it. | |

| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_3d455888 | comment |
Then Let Me Be Evil: After being exiled, unappreciated, and generally feared for their respective powers, the Constructicons embrace this trope by massacring the Malayx colony and joining the Rise. Before the Constructicons were the Insecticons, who had the unique ability to process Energon from consuming raw material. This made them excellent for cleaning up rubble and ruin until the Autobot government discovered they were able to metabolize a lot more Energon out of a Cybertronian then they could mere lifeless metal... and the Insecticons seemed to prefer the taste to boot. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism In Froid's case? Maybe. He seems to be a decent guy in this universe, but there are hints that he’s not all he seems, like his strange insistence on seeing a patient he’s been forbidden from working with. Played with as of issue 26; when we see Froid alone and in private for the first time, he’s revealed to be just as much of a snide little prick as he usually is, just really good at hiding it around others. That being said, he's at least not aiding a psychotic serial killer like Sunder this time around, so small mercies. Cybertron's pre-war government to the one from the previous IDW continuity. While this government has its own issues such as its somewhat stifling tendencies and obsession with conserving fuel even when it may not be necessary, it's actually a somewhat accepting and egalitarian society as not only does it have diplomatic relations with other races as well as a healthy population of non-Cybertronians, but it also allows Cybertronians to choose whichever job they want regardless of their alternate mode. note This is best exemplified in issue 5 of Galaxies which shows that this incarnation of Deathsaurus is an ambassador despite still having a beast mode and not being a second-class citizen. In the previous continuity, Cybertron's pre-war government was a borderline authoritarian police state which was quite xenophobic to organic life and had a brutally enforced religious caste system based on alternate modes. The Legacy of the Primes draws heavily from the old IDW continuity (Nominus Prime originating from there and Sentinel's design and some of his character drawing from the 2005 comics as well) but are much more heroic. Sentinel and Nominus are presented as flawed individuals who are nonetheless trying to do the right thing for their world whilst in the original Nominus was a crony of the pre-war government and Sentinel was a genocidal madman. The pair were also incredibly xenophobic in the old stories while here both of their administrations have drawn criticism by the future Decepticons for curtailing Cybertron's colonialism. | |

Body Surf | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_411a35bd | comment |
The more serious one was the War of the Threefold Spark, brought about by Exxarchon. He was a respected and well-loved figure who travelled extensively, but was corrupted by entities unknown into a twisted monster with the ability to take over other Cybertronians' bodies, snuffing their Sparks out in the process note This title of "Threefold Spark" came from how he could simultaneously exist in a maximum of three such bodies, and felt an instinctive, desperate need to always inhabit three separate bodies. Autobot leader Nominus Prime felt that Exxarchon had been twisted by those angry at Cybertron's aggressive expansion, which was backed by their gigantic Titans (as well as the necessity of taking over new worlds to get enough resources to keep the Titans fueled and in working order). To prevent such a devastating war from happening again, he put a halt to colonial expansion, repurposed the Titans as a defense only fleet, had as many deadly weapons as he could find sealed up, and "encouraged" troublesome or dangerous individuals to find their way in the colonies rather than remain on Cybertron itself. By the time the series begins, while it's acknowledged that the Nominus Edict was absolutely the right call at the time, several characters warn that it no longer serves a purpose other than stifling Cybertronians as a whole, culminating in the Ascenticon political party outright launching a coup. | |

Thanks to their sheer numbers, they overwhelm the Autobot defenders and push them right up against the walls of Darkmount. Even Leviathan, despite crushing dozens of them with each punch she throws, is eventually brought down by sheer weight of numbers (though Wheeljack and Gears manage to save her). | |

Writing for the Trade | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_5025c785 | comment |
Writing for the Trade: It's very noticeable that the comic's slow moving and exposition heavy plot reads much better in book format than individual issues and that the collected editions are twice as long as the average trade but costs only half as much as buying the issues at their release prices. | |

Body Horror | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: Some Transformers, like Codexa, choose to merge their bodies into the fabric of Cybertron itself, which looks about as creepy as you’d expect. The Croaton Cloud, a massive cloud of debris floating in Cybertron’s orbit... and made up entirely of the giant, shattered corpse of a dead Titan named Croaton who suffered a Cruel and Unusual Death during the War of the Threefold Spark at the hands of his fellow Titan Citadel. Citadel used a weapon known as an imploder to destroy his brother Titan (though available information suggests it was a Mercy Kill). | |

We Used to Be Friends | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_51a3ba7 | comment |
We Used to Be Friends: Orion Pax and Megatron were once close friends, but their relationship is straining badly thanks to Megatron’s insistence on holding Ascenticon rallies despite the fact that keep erupting into violence. Issue 6 has shows their relationship and how it began to deteriorate as their ideas on how Cybertron should be started to drift apart. The tragedy is that they genuinely seemed to be good friends, and Megatron did actually try to get Orion to see things from his point of view before concluding Orion was too cautious and accepting of the status quo to ever really accept change. | |

Reassigned to Antarctica | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_5798bfbf | comment |
Reassigned to Antarctica: What caused the Constructicons’ Start of Darkness. They were assigned to Mayalx, a backwater colony, in order to shunt them off to an out-of-the-way location so they wouldn’t wreck Cybertron if they ever lost control of Devastator again. Understandably, they’re very resentful of the arrangement. Similarly, the reason Thunderwing is eager to get in good with the new Decepticon regime is because he remembers when he lead fleets and governed worlds during the Expansion era of Cybertron... while the Autobots put him in charge of a small colony. An important trade hub, certainly, but still a major step down. | |

Police Are Useless | |

Police Are Useless: The Velocitron police force ends up a hindrance more than a help in the comic. They arrive when most of Mayhem has been subdued and their interference allows Submarauderer to get away. In the end they completely miss Knock Out's assassin and arrest Minerva. The comic ends with this being largely intentional as the head of the Velocitron security force, Breakdown, and an unknown number of the cops are all either Ascenticons or Ascenticon sympathizers who've been in league with Mayhem. | |

He's Just Hiding: In-Universe; Cyclonus seems to think Exarchon is still alive and plotting a return. His “ghosts� mock him for it, insinuating that he just can’t move on from his experiences in the War of the Threefold Spark. Cyclonus is proven to be absolutely correct and is thankfully able to convince Megatron of it (Optimus had already discovered it and was attempting to convince Megatron of the danger as well). | |

In Froid's case? Maybe. He seems to be a decent guy in this universe, but there are hints that he’s not all he seems, like his strange insistence on seeing a patient he’s been forbidden from working with. Played with as of issue 26; when we see Froid alone and in private for the first time, he’s revealed to be just as much of a snide little prick as he usually is, just really good at hiding it around others. That being said, he's at least not aiding a psychotic serial killer like Sunder this time around, so small mercies. | |

Day of the Jackboot: Unsurprisingly, once the Decepticons launch their coup they clamp down on any dissent. Dialogue in issue 31 (some time after the coup) indicates that they've been rounding up anyone who ever voted against their Ascenticon political group, Autobot or not. Furthermore, Soundwave forces Andromeda to take part in an obvious propaganda "news report", and the Decepticons have patrols wandering the streets of Iacon. In addition, Ratbat gleefully reports that thanks to their successful takeover of the Energon processing plants, anyone with a Decepticon emblem automatically gets pushed to the front of the line, while those without get scraps... if anything at all. | |

Jerkass Has a Point | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_6b05b601 | comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: While Megatron is a jerkass for sure (what with all the scheming and the plotting), but his point that the Autobots are stifling Cybertron through the Nominus Edict clearly resonates with a lot of Cybertronians. When Termagax reemerges to deliver a "Reason You Suck" Speech to the Decepticons for corrupting her Ascenticon movement, Megatron retorts that she doesn't have the right to complain, since she went into isolation when she couldn't get what she wanted from the Senate and loudly declared she didn't care what was happening outside of her little workshop. | |

Once Done, Never Forgotten | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_6e37c196 | comment |
Once Done, Never Forgotten: When Frenzy finally makes an appearance, it's mentioned that he's been very, very careful to not show his face in front of Megatron. He complains that Brainstorm's death was an accident, but everyone still blames him for how everything's gone to hell. | |

Reclusive Artist | |

Reclusive Artist: In-Universe. Termagax has receded from public life and the Ascenticon movement out of protest of what she considers unfairness in Cybertron’s government. She currently spends her days living alone, building inventions and performing bizarre experiments. Many have tried to convince her to come out of hiding, but she has no interest in doing so. | |

Understatement: During his meeting with Highbrow, Nautica and Wheeljack, Straxxus mentions that there have been some technical difficulties with the restoration of the third Ark. Wheeljack offers to help with repairs, which results in Straxxus clarifying that when he meant "difficulties" he meant "the engine exploded". | |

Adaptational Early Appearance | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_723606c4 | comment |
Adaptational Early Appearance: The characters' designs in the comic are mostly taken from the Siege toyline, even though many members of the cast, like Bumblebee and Windblade, have yet to be given a proper toy design for the series. Megatron and Orion Pax even have the 5 mm holes from their toys visible in their character designs, and Megatron's vehicle mode is, of course, missing his cannon. | |

Grey-and-Gray Morality | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_7335ffa9 | comment |
Grey-and-Gray Morality: While not quite to the extent of the previous IDW continuity, where the Decepticons started as an uprising against an oppressive caste system, the conflict between the Autobots and Ascenticons starts as this. The Autobots are keeping Cybertron peaceful and free, but also preventing innovation and alienating younger bots with their stiff policies, while also leaving the colonies to pretty much fend for themselves. The Ascenticons just want to restore Cybertron and the colonies to their former glory and provide a better future for the younger generations, but aren’t keen on debate and constantly cause trouble with their protests. Then the Rise start gaining power and things start escalating... | |

Adaptational Badass: Windcharger, whose most notable IDW feat up til this point was helping to steal the Matrix of Leadership over in More than Meets the Eye, is a hardened veteran whose magnetic powers make him The Dreaded to a race of mechanical beings-in issue #30, the mere mention of his name causes Red Wing and the other Decepticons to run for their lives. Skywarp is usually characterized as a dull-witted thug with a useful teleportation power but here, he was the most powerful servant of Exarchon and is treated as a dangerous, enigmatic figure as well as the progenitor (either directly or indirectly) of the seekers. | |

Arc Words: "Choosing to stop" and variations thereof take on great significance during the second half of the story. Pyra Magna could've chosen to stop during her pursuit of Turmoil and saved countless innocent lives. Vigilem could've chosen to stop fighting Lodestar and lived. Megatron can choose to stop any time he wanted, but can't let go of the power he's seized. The ghosts who haunt Cyclonus tell him that they'll stop when he's finished his mission and won the war. Cyclonus does choose to stop his quest to kill Pyra Magna and comes out the other end alive... if not necessarily healed. | |

Bullying a Dragon | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_7eb73553 | comment |
Bullying a Dragon: Skytread and Refraktor try to push Bumblebee around after Rubble’s death, accusing him of being a weak and incompetent mentor. Bee puts up with it... until their mockery turns to Rubble himself, at which point he effortlessly wipes the floor with them. Starscream’s scheming blows up in his face when he keeps trying it on the Decepticons after they launch their coup; Megatron is in no mood to play along anymore and has Soundwave sonically torture Starscream into giving up all his intel. Meanwhile, his backstabbing of Sentinel Prime proves to also be this, as Sentinel is smart enough to put two-and-two together and uses his dying words to command Orion to kill Starscream. When Cyclonus arrives at an arena to kill Sixshot for desecrating the memorial to the dead of the War of the Threefold Spark, he's confronted at the entrance by Crasher. She mentions she's fought in the gladitorial pits, and when Cyclonus decides he wants her weapons for his upcoming fight with Sixshot she challenges him to take them. In the next panel, Cyclonus (sporting his new weapons), steps over her groaning body. | |

Functional Addict: Once the situation on Cybertron gets especially tense, Megatron starts regularly overcharging himself with excessive amounts of Energon to keep himself at max power. It hurts like hell and exacerbates his Hair-Trigger Temper, but Megs is so strong-willed that he fights through the effects. It allows him to utterly brutalize Shockwave when they come to blows, as Shockwave and his henchmen have been only just getting by on the bare minimum of Energon, leaving them severely weakened. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Orion Pax’s decision to install Bumblebee as The Mole in the Ascenticons. Because Bumblebee is meeting with Soundwave in order to join, he isn't able to meet up with Rubble after the young Cybertronian's work practice with Wheeljack. Because of this, Rubble tries to walk home alone and stumbles upon Quake's murder of the Voin witness, resulting in Rubble's own murder. And to make things worse, Starscream finds out and alerts Megatron, who takes it as a personal betrayal. Sentinel Prime makes Quake’s trial public to make an example of him, against the advice of Orion. Sure enough, the Rise takes the opportunity to incite a small-scale riot that allows Quake to escape in the confusion. This immediately leads into another example when Bumblebee tries to intervene and accidentally kills Quake while trying to detain him. Wheeljack’s crew manage to save the Winged Moon from being captured by the Rise by creating a miniature singularity and detonating their reserve Energon... and in doing so, they accidentally turn Sunstorm into a perpetually-burning and radioactivity-powered madman. | |

Humanoid Abomination: Whatever Exarchon was, he clearly wasn’t a normal Transformer by the time of the War of the Threefold Spark. Amongst other things, his consciousness was spread out over multiple people and he waged war with technology beyond anything Cybertron had. Nobody knows how it happened; according to Megatron, he went into space on an exploratory mission one day and just came back like that. It's explained that his spark somehow acts like an organic virus, infecting and taking over the sparks of other Cybertronians. Thankfully, it's impossible for him to take control of more than three bodies at a time, but because he can so quickly and readily jump to new bodies fighting him was incredibly difficult. Word of God states that had the series continued, it would have been revealed that the Quintessons were behind his transformation in a bid to destroy Cybertron. | |

Bait-and-Switch: Megatron goes to talk with Shockwave in the Rise's armory. While they talk, Megatron casually inspects a rack containing fusion cannons, like the one he normally has strapped to his arm. He then picks up one of the cannons and begins Pistol-Whipping Shockwave with it. | |

| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_87bb6874 | comment |
Villain with Good Publicity: There're a number of racers in the Speedia 500 with dubious moralities. However, it's explicitly Knock Out who has public ties to the Ascenticon party. He's a popular figure on Velocitron and the winner of the Speedia race. | |

Badass Crew | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_8879db82 | comment |
Badass Crew: Scattershot and his Technical Solutions team, aka the Technobots. Rather than "just" being scientists like they usually are in Transformers fiction, the Technical Solutions team are diplomats, warriors and scientists... and they're very, very good at all three aspects of their job. Pyra Magna's Companions. A team of Decepticons sent to back up Cyclonus during his assassination attempt on Pyra initially laugh them off as Security Operations weaklings (since many of the 'cons are veteran soldiers), but as soon as the veterans among them recognise the Companions they immediately break and run, calling on their less experienced comrades to leg it. | |

Always a Bigger Fish: As the Decepticons are more ready and violent by nature, they've had the members of Security Operations on the backfoot since launching the coup. A group of Decepticons prematurely declare their victory as they engage an approaching group trying to interfered with an Assassination Attempt on the general Pyra Magna in issue 30. Then the more veteran members recognise the approaching group as Pyra Magna's Companions... | |

Back from the Dead | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_8967e17f | comment |
When the Tether fell, a group of A'ovan children recovered a device left to their people by Dai Atlas and activated it, hoping to call their protector to them once more. The older A'ovans know Dai Atlas has gone immersant, and so isn't coming. But then, as a group of Decepticons launch an attack on their convoy, Dai Atlas does indeed return. His arrival alone sends the 'cons into a panicked retreat. | |

Body Snatcher | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_8b04eac7 | comment |
Body Snatcher: Exarchon (aka the Threefold Spark) was apparently some sort of nightmarish combination of Hive Mind, Grand Theft Me and Body Surf. In his first on-panel appearance in a flashback in issue 15, he appears in three different bodies, speaking to a wounded Megatron through each one. In issue 31, Jumpstream encounters a version of Exarchon who speaks through the Combaticon Onslaught, Shockwave and Megatron. | |

Similarly, Prowl seems to be a mix of his more typical characterization as a By-the-Book Cop and his ruthless Manipulative Bastard interpretation from the previous IDW continuity; he starts out as the former, but starts to become more and more like the latter as the conflict drags on. | |

His faction, now embracing the title of “Decepticons,� then proceeds to attack the Senate. In other words, the Great War has begun. Issue 25: Sentinel Prime is killed and, after Chromia convinces him that, despite Sentinel's last wishes, they can't afford to wait to find Ultra Mangus, Orion claims the Matrix himself, becoming Optimus Prime. Issue 32: Exarchon is still out there somewhere. If he's not stopped, he'll bring about a horrifying Bad Future that makes Megatron's reign over Cybertron look tame. | |

Asshole Victim | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: Subverted with Sentinel Prime; despite being a grouchy, short-sighted jerk for much of the story’s early parts, his death is so horrifying, disproportionate, and senseless that it’s hard to take any pleasure from it, not to mention it happens after he had been proven right about basically everything. Bumblebee semi-accidentally murdering Quake. The right thing to do? Probably not. Is anybody sad to see Quake go? Definitely not. As the Winged Moon is threatening to fall into Cybertron’s sun, Huffer frankly tells Enemy that if the Autobots have to evacuate the moon, Huffer is just gonna leave Enemy there to die while he gets to the shuttle. Harsh, but given that Enemy is a Rise spy partly responsible for the situation they’re in, it’s kind of hard to not cheer Huffer on. | |

Token Good Teammate: Megatron’s militia is mostly made up of various future Decepticons, with the notable exception of Elita-One, who looks noticeably out-of-place amongst her teammates. When Bumblebee visits the Ascenticon militia headquarters, she’s the only one who doesn’t act like a complete ass towards him. It eventually turns out that Megatron recruited her specifically to serve as an honest, idealistic figurehead who would make the Ascenticons look better. After the Tether falls, Megatron decides to dispense with the pretenses by having her relieved of command. | |

As You Know: In Issue 10, Orion Pax feels the need to remind the faction leaders that the Autobots have a unbreakable majority in the senate, that Sentinel Prime is the planet's leader and that the Nominus Edict is the law of the land. | |

Unwitting Instigator of Doom | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_99ddfcec | comment |
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Something of a recurring theme: Megatron of all people; his False Flag Operation with Shockwave and the Rise was never meant to get anyone killed, but things are rapidly falling apart around him as Shockwave refuses to follow orders and his numerous henchmen grow more and more radicalized. Soundwave inadvertently causes the murders of Rubble and the Voin when he gets the latter’s location and passes the information directly to Shockwave, who decides the best course of action is to silence all witnesses. Megatron is pissed when he finds this out. Wheeljack inadvertently caused the Constructicons’ Start of Darkness by reporting his concerns about them losing control of Devastator to the Senate. He merely thought they and Termagax should be more cautious, but Nominus and the Senate decided the best solution was effectively exiling the Constructicons by reassigning them to Mayalx, an act which eventually pushes them into the Ascenticons’ arms. The biggest example is Frenzy, who inadvertently starts the whole plot by botching an Energon heist; he got caught by Brainstorm, accidentally killed him, and everything went to hell from there. | |

Dr. Jerk | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_9ae85487 | comment |
Dr. Jerk: Froid, though he isn’t trying to be a jerk; he wants to help Cyclonus, but clearly has a very poor sense of boundaries and butts his way in even when his company is obviously unwelcome. Except the bumbling is really an act, he's almost as rotten as he was in the previous series, the only solace being his not being as bad as enabling a psychotic Serial Killer like Sunder this time around. | |

Greater-Scope Villain | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_9b06e314 | comment |
Greater-Scope Villain: Exarchon the Threefold Spark, a formerly beloved figure on Cybertron. He’s apparently responsible for a lot of the current troubles plaguing Cybertron, and the Autobots think Megatron is starting to act more and more like him. More worryingly, Cyclonus seems to think Exarchon isn’t gone like everybody thinks... Its strongly implied that the Quintessons had a hand in his transformation. | |

What Measure Is a Non-Human? | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_9c45b5a2 | comment |
What Measure Is A Non-Cybertronian?: Unsurprisingly, the Decepticons care nothing for organics who got caught up in their coup. When the Decepticons decide to attack the convoy they're only really concerned with the civilians and Autobots fleeing Decepticon-occupied Iacon. They don't care about the organic aliens in the convoy at all. They aren't targets; they barely register as "living beings" to the 'cons. This is actually a step up from the previous IDW continuity where the Decepticons actively hated organics and would commit genocide on them at multiple occasions. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The Ascenticon logo originally resembled an upwards-pointing arrow, resembling an upside down Decepticon logo before Megatron changed it to its traditional appearance in Issue 11. Orion also states that in his opinion the Rise is too hopeful a name for the group using it, a more extreme splinter group of the Ascenticons, and suggests they should make them pick a new name. Sentinel Prime goes further, directly accusing the entire Ascenticon movement of being liars and traitors who offer only deception and declares his intent to name them for what they are. At one point, a harmless alien bug is shown skittering about Cybertron, only for Megatron to callously crush it with his tank treads; an eerie nod towards just what kind of treatment other species will get from him in the future. Barricade’s first appears grumbling about his crappy posting in Security Operations and how much he dislikes his job, setting up him selling out the Voin’s location to the Ascenticons to join them. While the two are courting, Blast-Off sends Cosmos a group photo of his old battalion. In it, the four bots that will eventually be his teammates on the Combaticons are all grouped around him in a vaguely menacing way. | |

Overpopulation Crisis | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_a59e28a9 | comment |
Overpopulation Crisis: Cybertron suffered one in the past thanks to Abominus’ rampage destroying much of the planet’s resources, leading to the Nominus Edict that enforced strident Energon rationing and a slower rate of forging new Transformers. It also forbid the creation of new colonies. Megatron believes the Edict is severely outdated and pointless, as Cybertron has more than recovered. | |

Due to the Dead | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_a679184b | comment |
Due to the Dead: Inverted. Brainstorm is given a funeral provided over the Reversionists (a major religious faction on Cybertron) and his body is melted in a plasma pyre to return his materials to Cybertron, his creator. It's a respectful and spiritual burial, but Ironhide comments that Brainstorm, an atheist, would have been insulted by the whole thing. Orion admits that it's largely a show to help ease tensions between Megatron's faction, the main governing body, and the Reversionists. Cyclonus spends a lot of his self-imposed exile cleaning and maintaining memorials to his fellow soldiers from the Great Offscreen War. He gets dragged into the plot when he goes to do so one day and inadvertently discovers evidence of a Rise base nearby. Despite their increasingly strained relationship just before his death, Sentinel Prime gets this treatment from the newly ascended Optimus Prime. Thanks to his experience in the Matrix of Leadership, Optimus is now able to see that Sentinel was painfully aware of the burden brought about by carrying the artifact, telling Ironhide that while Sentinel might've failed to unite Cybertron, he still dared to try. | |

Combining Mecha | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_a950584d | comment |
The first was a rampage by a being known as the Abomination, created when a group of Cybertronians happened upon the Enigma of Combination, an ancient artifact that allowed them to combine into a gestalt entity. This monster rampaged across the planet, guzzling precious Energon until finally being defeated by Dai Atlas and his comrades. The resulting Energon shortage was so dire that starvation became a genuine danger, and in the aftermath the Autobots sought to seal away the Enigma only to discover it had already vanished in the chaos. | |

Face–Heel Turn | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_af3ea0e3 | comment |
Face–Heel Turn: Exarchon was once a widely trusted and beloved figure, until he founded the Threefold Spark and plunged Cybertron into a war that’s left deep scars well into the present day. Codexa, in one of her rare moments of lucidity, thinks that Megatron is heading down the same path, but Orion refuses to believe it. | |

Head-in-the-Sand Management | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_b10d7e8e | comment |
Head-in-the-Sand Management: One of the criticisms in-universe of the Autobot-dominated government is that they just don't seem able to see (or even want to see) how many of their actions have turned Cybertron into a powder keg just waiting to blow. The biggest point of contention is the Nominus Edict, which many Cybertronians feel has served its purpose and should be revoked, while the Autobots seem intent on continuing with it for the foreseeable future. The fact that troublemakers have been exiled from Cybertron has given their colonies a reputation for lawlessness, while officially the Autobot government claims no such exiles have happened. In the case of the Constructicons, for example, they were "reassigned". It apparently never occurred to the Autobots what might happen if all those disgruntled, violent sorts became united under one flag... Megatron dismisses Orion Pax's "leadership" as this, pointing out that while Orion might feel that things need to change, he's content to wait for the change to happen instead of trying to make them happen. Megatron, on the other hand, is a firm believer in changing the world with one's own hands. Once Orion becomes Optimus Prime, however, he becomes a much more decisive and effective leader. | |

Soiled City on a Hill | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_b349a835 | comment |
Soiled City on a Hill: Cybertron in the backstory had a policy of expansion, with fleets of ships and numerous colonies throughout space. The War of the Threefold Spark was so terrible Cybertron was left in ruin. It would take a long time for the planet to be restored to anything resembling its former glory. After becoming Optimus Prime, Orion mused that Exarchon's transformation into the Threefold Spark was some sort of punishment for Cybertron's hubris. Iacon, Cybertron's capital city, is left in ruins after the fall of the Tether and the launch of the Decepticon coup. | |

All Issues Are Political Issues: At least one part of Cybertron’s rising tensions. The numerous factions on the planet are treating everything and anything like a vital political debate. Orion complains about having to let the Reversionists preside over Brainstorm’s funeral (the deceased was an atheist who had, and wanted, nothing to do with them) because otherwise they would’ve thrown a tantrum over the "snub" and joined the Ascenticons. | |

While the Autobots are preparing to storm their hideout and arrest them, and right after Soundwave specifically asked if they knew anything of value. To the surprise of nobody, Soundwave rigs up his electromagnetic disrupter, makes an excuse to leave, and then blows them all sky high once he’s clear of the blast radius. | |

Hyper-Competent Sidekick: Zigzagged in regards to Soundwave. Despite being Megatron's reliable right hand as in most media, he's disappointed Megatron in a big way on two important occasions: First, he takes matters into his own hands when he learns of the Voin witness of Brainstorm's murder, passing the information on to Shockwave, leading to the series of events that ends with Rubble's murder. Megatron is enraged by this, since there's no way they can justify the murder of a Cybertronian newborn. Second, despite assuring Megatron he can trace Orion... Optimus Prime's location (thus convincing Megatron to hold one last peace conference), he only does so after Optimus and his followers have long left Iacon. All the meeting accomplished was reaffirm Optimus' resolve to oppose the Decepticons, and the Assassination Attempt launched on the general Pyra Magna not only fails miserably, it convinces her and her Companions to throw their lot in with the Autobots. | |

Take a wild guess who’s right... Likewise, Froid warns that the Nominus Edict has long worn out its welcome, and that the Autobot government's insistence on continuing it seemingly forever is causing resentment towards them to bottle up. | |

When Autobot leader Sentinel Prime is killed during an attempt to rally people against the coup his old friend Orion Pax inherits the Matrix of Leadership and is renamed Optimus Prime. Megatron insistently refers to him as "Orion Pax", declaring him a sham and refusing to treat with him as an equal... until he's completely outplayed and realises that now he's lost his chance for a quick victory. Only then does he start referring to his archfoe as "Optimus Prime". | |

Dystopian Edict: The Ascenticons believe that the Nominus Edict is this, saying it’s stifling Cybertron’s ambitions and potential by rationing energon, forbidding them from possessing weapons, exiling dangerous individuals, and limiting forgings of new Cybertronians. More troubling, one of the Ascenticons' biggest criticisms of the edict is Nominus ending the creation of new colonies to avoid antagonizing other lifeforms. | |

Orion talks him out of it on the basis of not worsening tensions, but Sentinel makes clear the option is very much on the table. When Starscream tries to get himself a nice, cushy position with the new Decepticon regime, he extends his clenched hands towards Megatron and explains in each hand is a big, juicy secret. He invites Megatron to choose a hand. In response, Megatron has Soundwave beat the information out of him, getting both. | |

Cloudcuckoolander: Spending decades fused with Cybertron itself and in hibernation clearly hasn’t helped Codexa’s mental state; she can’t recognize Orion despite formerly being his mentor, has very strange speech patterns, and in general seems to be in a state of constant somnolence. | |

Glory Days | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_cbd2bfa3 | comment |
Glory Days: Once, the Constructicons were some of the greatest architects on Cybertron. Then they lost control of their combined form, Devastator, and got exiled. Needless to say, they’re still sore about it, with Scrapper in particular longing for the good old days. Tap-Out and Apeface used to be beloved gladiators. Then, Sentinel Prime shut the Games down and they were left toiling in obscure, underground wrestling matches with dwindling audiences. The former manages to find a new passion as Glyph’s partner. Thunderwing is eager to get in the Decepticon regime's good graces due to wanting to go back to the old expansion days when he commanded fleets and entire worlds, as opposed to the trade hub colony he currently oversees under the Autobot government. | |

Surprise Multiple Birth | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_cfbdf361 | comment |
Surprise Multiple Birth: * A variant. As part of drastic energy-saving steps taken after the devastating War of the Threefold Spark, new forgings (the Transformer equivalent on births) are dramatically reduced to the point a new forging is treated as a major celebration. There's a big ceremony when Bumblebee is forged, but unexpectedly Cliffjumper steps out of the Pyramid (the forging facility) some time after, long after everyone has left. Autobot leader Sentinel Prime expresses surprise and annoyance at Cliffjumper's emergence. | |

Hoist by His Own Petard: Straxxus launching the Arks and leaving the Autobots and organics to be eaten by the Insecticon swarm ironically saves their lives, as the Insecticons abandon their assault on the defenders in order to pursue the largest concentration of Energon around: the Arks themselves. To his horror, the Insecticons catch up to one of the Arks and begin eating into it, causing an explosion that wipes out many of the clones along with the ship (and everyone aboard). Worse, the destroyed Ark was carrying all of the colonization and terraforming equipment he was planning to use to set up a new home elsewhere, including their only energon harvester. | |

What the Hell, Hero?: In issue 29, both factions discover that Perceptor, acting under orders from Nominus Prime and then Sentinel Prime, had diverted Titansparks (i.e. souls that could be used to create more of the gigantic Titans) into a vault for storage. While both sides skirmish over the Pyramid facility where the Titansparks are being stored, an unrelated accident results in the entire facility flooding with molten plasma and collapsing. While everyone gets out alive, Optimus informs Perceptor in no uncertain terms he is very, very unhappy about the entire affair. In issue 31, Perceptor admits at least part of the reason he's throwing himself into developing new technology to help battle the Decepticons is because he recognizes he has a lot to do before regaining his previous good name. | |

Wheeljack angrily calls them out on it, and is even more enraged when the only defense Enemy can offer up is that they’re Just Following Orders, something the notoriously defiant Termagax would never do. After the launch of the Decepticon coup, Megatron confronts and accuses Orion Pax of betraying him by sending Bumblebee to infiltrate the Ascenticons. Orion points out that he's not the one who schemed with dangerous elements for the sake of political power. | |

Elites Are More Glamorous | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_d5c7b415 | comment |
When Megatron plans to set up a special elite unit to root out Autobot sympathisers and holdouts, he considers Starscream for the role of commander due to Starscream having an almost complete knowledge of Cybertron's surface thanks to his travels alongside his mentor. Since Elites Are More Glamorous, an eavesdropping Starscream is thrilled to hear it... until Sixshot points out that Starscream has such a It's All About Me Chronic Backstabbing Disorder reputation (a reputation Starscream himself does nothing to refute, in fact even revelling in it) that appointing him to such a prestigious position would probably be met with apprehension by both Decepticons and neutrals. Megatron explains why he thinks Starscream would be great in the role, but is forced to concede to Sixshot's logic and decides to appoint Soundwave instead. | |

Introduced Species Calamity: Unusually, this version of Cybertron is home to a number of organic species, including skitters and flyts, with the implication that they're descended from imported alien pets and other foreign livestock. In an aversion of the trope, however, the Cybertronians don't seem to mind their presence... probably because there was no pre-existing biosphere for them to disrupt. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: In issue 16, Heretech and the other Reversionists see the writing on the wall and decide to get the hell off Cybertron before tensions can explode. In issue 21, Rage’s convoy gets wrecked by an earthquake, attacked by the Autobots, Sixshot denies him reinforcements, and his unstable comrades go gun-crazy in response and start a fight. Rage assesses his situation for a bit, then immediately turns and runs for the hills as fast as he can. The Transformers: Escape mini-series is this for a whole lot of people on Cybertron. As Cybertron slowly descends into war, countless civilians (unaligned with the Autobots, Decepticons, or any faction) are in the crossfire. Wheeljack, Hound, Nautica, and a few others recommission the Ark project in a race against time to get everyone off-world before the war kills them all. During an Assassination Attempt against Pyra Magna in Issue 30, several Decepticons flee when they recognise their opponents are her loyal Companions, veteran elite soldiers. One Seeker who doesn't understand why the others are panicking quickly learns the reason when Windcharger (a Transformer with the power of magnetism) rips him out of the sky and partially dismantles him with a gesture. | |

Rage Quit | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_de999021 | comment |
Rage Quit: Most everyone believes that Termagax left the political stage and became a recluse as an act of dramatic protest against Nominus Prime’s rule. A flashback in issue 24 reveals that it was actually this trope; Termagax just got fed up with the Senate not listening to all her ideas and stormed out rather than not get her way. Wheeljack tried to point out that this sort of fiery, demanding behavior was the whole reason why the Senate wouldn’t listen to her, but Termagax didn’t care to hear it. | |

Start of Darkness | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_e0040f41 | comment |
Wheeljack inadvertently caused the Constructicons’ Start of Darkness by reporting his concerns about them losing control of Devastator to the Senate. He merely thought they and Termagax should be more cautious, but Nominus and the Senate decided the best solution was effectively exiling the Constructicons by reassigning them to Mayalx, an act which eventually pushes them into the Ascenticons’ arms. | |

May It Never Happen Again | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_e4157ffd | comment |
May It Never Happen Again: Two completely separate attempts at doing this have repercussions by the time of the series' events. The first was a rampage by a being known as the Abomination, created when a group of Cybertronians happened upon the Enigma of Combination, an ancient artifact that allowed them to combine into a gestalt entity. This monster rampaged across the planet, guzzling precious Energon until finally being defeated by Dai Atlas and his comrades. The resulting Energon shortage was so dire that starvation became a genuine danger, and in the aftermath the Autobots sought to seal away the Enigma only to discover it had already vanished in the chaos. The more serious one was the War of the Threefold Spark, brought about by Exxarchon. He was a respected and well-loved figure who travelled extensively, but was corrupted by entities unknown into a twisted monster with the ability to take over other Cybertronians' bodies, snuffing their Sparks out in the process note This title of "Threefold Spark" came from how he could simultaneously exist in a maximum of three such bodies, and felt an instinctive, desperate need to always inhabit three separate bodies. Autobot leader Nominus Prime felt that Exxarchon had been twisted by those angry at Cybertron's aggressive expansion, which was backed by their gigantic Titans (as well as the necessity of taking over new worlds to get enough resources to keep the Titans fueled and in working order). To prevent such a devastating war from happening again, he put a halt to colonial expansion, repurposed the Titans as a defense only fleet, had as many deadly weapons as he could find sealed up, and "encouraged" troublesome or dangerous individuals to find their way in the colonies rather than remain on Cybertron itself. By the time the series begins, while it's acknowledged that the Nominus Edict was absolutely the right call at the time, several characters warn that it no longer serves a purpose other than stifling Cybertronians as a whole, culminating in the Ascenticon political party outright launching a coup. | |

Composite Character | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: Abominus combines his own history with that of Monstructor from the old IDW continuity. This time it was Abominus who was first created from the Enigma of Combination and he was the wild monster formed from the imperfect union. Arcee is, essentially, a middle ground between her original characterization (a kindhearted, motherly Heart) and her self from the previous IDW continuity (an Ax-Crazy Blood Knight with a dark past); a friendly but hot-tempered Boisterous Bruiser and ex-soldier who’s trying to settle down into a peaceful life as a mentor. Similarly, Prowl seems to be a mix of his more typical characterization as a By-the-Book Cop and his ruthless Manipulative Bastard interpretation from the previous IDW continuity; he starts out as the former, but starts to become more and more like the latter as the conflict drags on. | |

In fact, he’s already joined the Rise, which is foreshadowed when Blast-Off mentions his boss (Shockwave) is a jerk. | |

Orion Pax’s decision to install Bumblebee as The Mole in the Ascenticons.

Because of this, Rubble tries to walk home alone and stumbles upon Quake's murder of the Voin witness, resulting in Rubble's own murder. And to make things worse, Starscream finds out and alerts Megatron, who takes it as a personal betrayal. | |

When the Tether fell, a group of A'ovan children recovered a device left to their people by Dai Atlas and activated it, hoping to call their protector to them once more. The older A'ovans know Dai Atlas has gone immersant, and so isn't coming. But then, as a group of Decepticons launch an attack on their convoy, Dai Atlas does indeed return. His arrival alone sends the 'cons into a panicked retreat. | |

We Will Have Euthanasia in the Future: It’s mentioned that many Transformers don’t die of natural causes, but rather “choose to sleep�. The term used is "going immersant" and involves basically becoming one with Cybertron literally. Orion Pax's mentor Codexa, for example, is shown to basically be part of the wall in her cavern, and her mind is clearly going. Several mountains have turned out to be the bodies of long immersant Titans. | |

Nominal Villain | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_f53e219c | comment |
Nominal Villain: It is a plot point that despite the Decepticons being Obviously Evil with shades of Putting on the Reich behaviour-wise, many Transformers continue doing their jobs simply because they don't much care whether it's the Autobots or the Decepticons in-charge. One of the Decepticons mentions that virtually all the high-level engineers or technicians left to join the Autobots, meaning they have to make due with the lower level, less skilled ones to run infrastructure. | |

Great Offscreen War | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_f722f635 | comment |
Great Offscreen War/ The War Just Before: One fought in the distant past against a group called “the Threefold Spark�, who were apparently led by a formerly-trusted Transformer named Exarchon. Then again, for a species as long-lived as the Cybertronians, "distant past" is relative. To clarify, the repercussions of that war still reverberate by the time the series begins. Several characters are still haunted by events of the war (e.g. Pyra Magna, Dai Atlas, Cyclonus), the adoption of the Nominus Edict directly following means that there are many disefranchised Cybertronians (e.g. the Constructicons, the Insecticons, Strika), and many Blood Knight Cybertronians long to go back to an era of expansion and conflict, when they were hailed as heroes instead of feared (e.g. Thunderwing, Sixshot, Quake). | |

The Fundamentalist | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_f76842b1 | comment |
The Fundamentalist: The Reversionists are the Transformer equivalent, hyper-devout worshippers of Primus who’s piousness crosses into Holier Than Thou territory. They’re not very popular, but carry enough sway that Orion is forced to bend over backwards to please them several times, much to his chagrin. Ironically, they end up proving to be one of the saner factions on Cybertron; they’re the first to realize just where exactly things are heading, and get out of dodge while they still can. Although the last part is subverted when issue 7 of Galaxies shows that they function more like a Cult of Personality that indulges in kidnapping, imprisonment and apparent memory wipes. | |

Last Stand | |

Last Stand: The Autobots and organics are forced into one, as Straxxus orders the doors of Darkmount shut in order to prevent the Insecticon swarm from breaking in. He's well aware that this will likely doom the Autobots and the organics under their charge... but he doesn't care. | |

Buried Alive | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_f8f71b5f | comment |
Buried Alive: This is how Frenzy meets his end. After chasing an Autobot scout team underground with the intention of killing them, he's caught in a cave-in triggered by Zetar and screams for help. Landmine recognizes him as the one responsible for murdering Brainstorm and therefore indirectly responsible for virtually everything else that had happened since, and decided that leaving him "buried and forgotten" was a fitting punishment. | |

Ungovernable Galaxy | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_f995429b | comment |
Ungovernable Galaxy: Mention is made that while Cybertron itself is still peaceful, its colony worlds are much less prosperous and orderly, with violence being much more common and Cybertron’s control over them possibly breaking down. Megatron claims this is partly because Nominus Prime exiled any troublemakers or dissenters to the colonies when he passed his Edict, effectively making them glorified Penal Colonies, though the Senate denies such a thing happened. | |

Accidental Murder | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_fd497706 | comment |
Accidental Murder: Brainstorm’s murder, which kicks off the whole plot. Frenzy and his crew were just trying to steal some energon, but Brainstorm stumbled upon them and things got out of hand. In issue 22, Bumblebee tries to stop Quake from escaping Security Forces and winds up stabbing him through the throat. Whether it really was an accident is a little ambiguous; the initial stab is definitely unintentional, but decapitating Quake by withdrawing the sword feels a little too deliberate, and Bee definitely had motive to finish Quake off. | |

The Corrupter | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_fe6c146e | comment |
The Corrupter: The Insecticons play this role to the Constructicons, playing on their resentment to convince them to wage war against the Autobot government for exiling both groups. Exxarchon seems to have been this, based on what's been revealed about the character thus far. Several Transformers have been noted to have been on his side during the Great Offscreen War that preceded the story, and it's implied that it was his encounter with Megatron that started Megatron down his path. | |

Pet the Dog | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: Megatron seems genuinely upset when he learns of Rubble's death, even offering Bumblebee his condolences. The fact that Rubble was effectively a Cybertronian newborn is probably at least part of the reason for this, since Rubble's only crime was accidentally stumbling upon Quake's murder of a Voin witness. When Soundwave realises that Ruckus and his group actually do have sensitive information and have to be silenced, he's clearly unhappy about having to actually do the deed. It doesn't stop him from blowing them up with a booby trap, but it still leaves him shaken. Despite being arrogant and full of himself, when Straxxus is made aware Geomotus is present during a meeting with luminaries such as Highbrow and Mainframe he appeals to the neurodivergent geologist as the only one present who would understand the implications of his discoveries. When Geomotus not only agrees but brings up the absolute worst case scenario (that Cybertron might literally shake itself apart), Straxxus outright acknowledges that he hadn't foreseen that particular scenario. A later issue would clarify that the more Straxxus respects your intelligence, the nicer he is to you (he outright smiles while greeting Nautica, for example), suggesting that in terms of geology he acknowledges Geomotus as an equal. | |

Cut Short | |
| Transformers (2019) (Comic Book) / int_ffa0483f | comment |
Cut Short: Due to IDW's loss of the Transformers franchise, the implied involvement of humanity (mentioned in the very first issue) never comes to pass and many plot threads are left hanging. Among other things, the main series ends with Megatron and the Decepticons in control of Cybertron but Optimus Prime and the Autobots live to fight another day, while the Wreckers never learn they were duped and left one of their members behind in the hands of Decepticon sympathisers. | |
