Seems like they're avoiding one-on-one time with Prime and Spike because of...obvious reasons. Though Optimus feeling Sparkplug's memories will make that relationship even more complicated.

As sad as Carly turning on Cliffjumper is, the growing bond between her and Arcee is pretty nice. Though honestly kind of inching into my issue with Miko in TF: Prime where the human wants to become more actively involved in the action but would really just be a liability.

Skywarp still hates Autobots but they can still pity him and use him.

I'm happy Jetfire is back but also kind of horrified he's stuck in vehicle mode as the Autobots' new mode of transportation. It's like Sky-Lynx with body horror. This does make me wonder if it's possible to revive even dead Autobots if they have enough Energon or if it's solely because Jetfire wasn't 100% dead.

Thundercracker, still the most noble Decepticon.

I feel dumb for not realizing they were going to be fishing out the Nemesis no matter how G1 this comic still is.

Astrotrain showing up was cool. I have to imagine Blitzwing will show up sooner rather than later. Really curious to see what his beef with Megatron was. Seems like there were a lot of complicated things going on with Megatron in relation to the other Decepticons, and that's effecting Soundwave to an extent.

I'm actually wondering now if it was deliberate introducing Astrotrain in the same issue where we get vehicle Jetfire because he'll be the 'Cons main mode of transportation from the Nemesis.
