IDW Transformers Comic Discussion - Spoilers Within

[Phill]

Kup is now a pretender, becasue essentially his current body is just a shell around what's left of his old one. I suspect it's just his head and spark that are left of the old one. It was stated that his tech was so old that it wasn't compatible with current tech, so the only option was to build him an outer body based on Pretender technology.

Remember that in the IDW universe a Pretender shell isn't just an organic shell around the robot body. The Autobot pretenders simply had suits which would allow them to withstand the negative universe, so in IDW's Universe a pretender shell can simply be an outer suit to enhance the capabilities of the robot inside it.

In Last stand of the Wreckers it wasn't stated where Impactor and Guzzle went off to, it's likely that they'll not be touched upon again for a while. The question I had coming out of LsofW was - Who was part of Shockwave's Hand-Picked crew?
