I picked it up in my local comic shop, so it should be out there.

Just read it, good read in my opinion. Well it looks like it's Nova pulling the strings in the deadiverse (unless SF throws us off), and it was a nice way to introduce the Gestalts  More feed back after I've read through again |

Art's very good, liked the power-bar on Prime's gun:) I get the feeling that having Monstructor beat Omega is partly designed to stop people asking why Prime doesn't call him in to fight Sixshot on earth.

I think it's just to show the gestalts are a mean bunch of mothers. My only gripe was that it was Monstructor and not one of the other teams like the Constructicons, Combaticons or Stunticons as they're my faves.
The Predacons were introduced in Stormbringer along with the Technobots. I'm thinking that neither team are combiners yet and they'll be getting engineered in due course. Maybe during Revelation or Expansion.

I have never heard of Monstructor, where has he previously featured?

The individual bots were featured in the alternate reality towards the end of the original G1 Marvel run. They were with Galvatron as he entered a destroyed New York, shortly before he was kidnapped by Hook, Line and Sinker

Yep, the special team in question are called Pretender Monsters. Unlike other TFs they combine while in their pretender shells, however at this point in the IDW run they don't have shells. In fact the tech seems so unstable its difficult to see how it can happen. Especially seeing as the gestalt process seems to bring on madness too.
This is the first time Monstructor has appeared in a TF comic other than in TF/GI Joe Black Horizons, to my knowledge.

Do they really combine in their shells? That would be cool, only seen pics of Monstructor (the toy) without the shells. I always thought their shells were the coolest of all the Pretenders.

Actually, you're right and I'm wrong. I decided to double check my claim and found the following pic. The shells don't combine, only the robot bodies. Shame.  |

They should have made a Pretender shell for Monstructor himslef, that would have been cool.

Hey small question for everyone. Read it today and I enjoyed the issue, all the dialog was clear and so was the artwork. It was definately a lot easier to read than the Origin of Megatron comics as I'm sure you will all agree. Anyway the question I was going to ask is at the end of the issue you see Omega Supreme with some sort of restraints around hims arms, I was wondering if these are just because he is injured of whether maybe he is actually being restrainted as Optimus wasn't to happy about what he did with Monstructor. Just wondering what every else thought of that.

I'm guessing that they are lifting claws to help him get back on his feet since he was so badly damaged.
