Crap you're right, who's the guy next to Flywheels? Never mind. I didn't realize "that guy" was so tall.
Bass X0
The image itself is a spoiler for those guys.
Sol Fury
Isn't he the one with his arms folded next to the DJD?

I can't bump up the resolution much, but I don't see

And nobody else has mentioned his absence.

I think I was trying to get it is relative evil compare to Overlord or the D.J.D. but yeah. It will be different if we see them outside of survival mode. I could say we should let the Autobot burn to death in most painful gruesome manner being burn to death is not a pleasant way to go. I would like to see them earn the title of scum. Zee pack of Hyenas they are.
Star Saber
Noticed the same thing. That gives me a bit of hope

Hell yes they do. Written by Nick Roche, at that. I think Roche might even inch out Roberts for me.

Ha! That could actually work, considering that G1 Krok's "kibble" seemed to indicate that he was some kind of stealth jet.
I'm not sure I would classify it as a mercy killing necessarily… I don't think that was Krok's motivation. It's almost more like if you were in a gang of cannibals, and halfway through your meal, you noticed he was still alive, and casually executed him.
Either way, I think that scene did what it was intended to do… remind us that the Scavengers are still scum, even if they seem sympathetic.

I am remember the campfire to certain extent the Autobot was going to die regardless if Krok did not shoot him or not. It is a mercy killing but setting it on fire well that is another story.
In truth I am not surprise Fulcrum is on the list. James did write Fulcrum in Eugenesis as being a traitorous and I will not be surprise that is the case.
Scavengers do need their own series as evil bad guys they are bottom of the barrel somehow I don't see them being rivals of Lost Light crew for long. Erstwhile allies Lost Light crew will join up and fight bigger baddie in the future. Lesser of two evils that what the Scavengers are.
YoungPrime
Now if only we'd see more of these guys in the comics….
The Scavengers need a spinoff.
General Magnus
Yeah, I have that idea as well.
Omnius
Looking forward to picking one of these up, a nice companion to the Lost Light print from last year.
PredaconElder
Krok is tiny. They could reuse the bomber megs figure for him.
shunquan
Anybody heading down to AA could help me pick up a couple of these please??
SMOG
Personally, I think a big part of the appeal of the Scavengers is the reminder that they still ARE bad guy, despite being so lovable. Things like the campfire incident serve to reinforce the idea that they are still despicable, even while being funny and a bit pathetic.

MTMTE 19 came out last wednesday and put it in no uncertain terms that
There is zero need for spoiler tags at this point. EDIT: Actually, there is, since it only came out a week ago, and some people read via trade, so be polite please – Staff
I am, however, miffed to say the least that everyone's favorite scavengers are included in this "badguy roundup". They are TERRIBLE at being bad! They're so bad at being bad that they might as well be good guys (granted, Krok did put out their campfire in more ways than one, but his chest was hollowed out and already on fire).
I just hope they make a glorious return at some point. We got like 2 issues with them, then a subsequent twelve without. If they were a one-shot, I call shenanigans.
Lumpy
woah, they let you out of the dungeon to post?
but really, i can't wait to see this fully covered. working on getting a copy of it now, along with last years.
Josh
I think time is more the reason
*frantically tries to color said print before Nick needs them this weekend*

Ya, I forgot about that.
Well at least
