I am trying SO hard to find a copy of the Galvatron spotlight in Seattle. NO ONE HAS IT.

Curses.

Found one. The comic shop wasn't in the phone book. Another shop gave me the number when I told them I'd tried every place.

Good stuff, this.

i love this topic - a tale of tragedy and redemption

but one that you can read in like 30 seconds.

I must admit to being lazy and not buying any of single copy SL's

Instead I bought the 6 issue TPB, SL last month, was pretty good.

Glad ypou found a galvy copy, thats on my to 'buy' list, hope i can still find one.

Coincidentally, just read it again last night.

This time, I concentrated more on Galvatron's inner dialogue, and it didn't go as fast this time around. On my second reading, I think I've figured out a little more after paying more attention.

So basically, the Ark I was launched due to a call from the Matrix to that eras Prime to seek out that black hole in the Bezuli galazy. When they get there, they don't want to go in, but Galvatron launches them into it. They "die", but are "undead" (IDW loves the undead, don't they?).

From this, my guess is that whatever Prime that was with the Matrix, he became uberpowerful once there, wherever "there" is, and the "others" mentioned by Galvy are the other crew members like himself, who have now become heralds of Galactu...er...Unicro....er some other uberentity.

its not stated that the Prime in question was on the Ark anywhere though is it?

Although i do think we may be looking at some kind of 'evil' Prime set up along the way.

Roddy went a bit evil with the matrix once, and theres that deathrbinger guy, perhaps there is a link, or not.

i think it would be more interesting to have an actual corrupt prime rather than a prime corrupted by an external force, purely as we have seen the latter a few times.

There's a shot of them all in the ship on one page, and you see Galvy at the controls - is that supposed to be the Prime in the foreground talking alongside the other robot?

Nobody say Nemesis Prime.

Crap! I said it!

I actually like the idea of Nemesis Prime. Especially as a dark representation of Optimus Prime's hidden flaws and impurities.

I'm beginning to think it's about time for Nemesis Prime to get a bigger role in the TF universe other than one episode in Armada and a Universe character.

I'd rather have the "Dead Universe" Prime/Galvatron's "master" to go under another name.

Unicron?

Seems a little old hat.

What about "Steve"?

Hmmmmmmmmm
Sprunker may have something. It is cliché, but then a lot of IDW stuff is taking its hat off to the old storylines.

Well, that would simplify the Six Degrees game in some ways.
