Once again, ITunes shares a new preview of IDW Transformers titles. This time we get the Transformers: Lost Light #12 Preview.
On this 3-page preview we can see how Getaway still enjoys his triumph, but his attitude is not giving him more appreciation from his crew. Riptide, who seemed lost after confronting Getaway, proves to be not easy to eliminate.
Transformers: Lost Light #12
James Roberts
“NO TURNING BACK! Getaway has crossed one too many lines and made one too many enemies. Hunted down on his own ship, the master manipulator has one last trick of his sleeve—something so shocking, so audacious, that it would put the most evil Decepticon to shame. No one is safe as the Mutineers Trilogy reaches its jaw-dropping climax”.
Don’t forget to grab your copy this December, 27. While you wait, you can check out the mirrored preview after the jump.

My shanix is on a functionist universe Galvatron
Murasame
I hope you're right. Now we need an alternate Galvatron.

Scourge hasn't been seen in a long time
He wasn't killed off in chaos where we had the sweeps…but not scourge. According to livio ramondelli scourge didn't even appear in the script
Yes scourges titan master fracas is mentioned and highlighted but I think in this case fracas means fight or scrap or incident.
Scourge is still out there….
The tfwiki is incorrect about him being killed during chaos. As I said he was never in the story despite the thousands of sweeps

@Napalm I like the idea we might already be in Getaway's mindscape – maybe he's already a brain stem in a jar!
As for the mystery peacekeeper they're diverting to collect, I'll take a long odds punt on Death's Head
Napalm
Riptide's badge was grey in 11 too, before he assisted the Protectobots, which kinda debunks a theory I think a few of us were leaning towards.
Unless this is all happening in Gateway's mind and these colourless symbols are tells to the architects of his downfall. Which is utter bullshit my fevered sleepless mind just conjured
Dark Starscream
It shouldn't. They assumed he was trapped without the ability to get out, so it wouldn't mess with their reality if they rescued him, IF the Warren can be used to cross universes too.
Moreover, they could go back in time a rescue Trailbreaker, while leaving evidence that he died so not to disrupt time.
SteelWheels
But wouldn't that create a new timeline in the process?
Dark Starscream
If they now have the means to go back in time, then they might be able to rescue Megatron before he got trapped in the Functionalist universe.

I have a suspicion there are yet more rugs to be pulled from under our feet.
King Grimlock Fr
Defensor please …KILL GETAWAY!
warhawk
yeah, but would they? Look at Nautica. If they were to do him, they'll go for the simplest solution, the re-tool. Why else make the re-tool look so much like Topspin?
samisham
Riptide is our new hero.
hardlurk
In "Twenty-Plus-One" his medical records indicate "Sparktype vitreous-positive, unreliable Transformation Cog".
TargetmasterJoe
Really? Who said that?
RazorclawX
On top of that it was pointed out that there's something wrong with Riptide's transformation cog.
kmc
Atomizer is setting up his flag. Sensed it but I don't hope so.
Dramatic Spoon
So basically He's Nudge-gun Proof because his memory circuits are already messed up.
Isn't that sort of the same as that guy from Gravity Falls?
He's been mindwiped so much that he's immune to it or something?
Bisto Yeti
I don't think the nudge gun was out of rounds, it has already been established that Riptide struggles to learn things their is probably something with his brain module that already effects his memory that'll make him immune to the gun.
Dramatic Spoon
Not yet.
They confirmed he's dead, but that's about it.
Skid's Nudge Gun was.
We saw Getaway shoot Thunderclash at least seven times and followed up with a shot to Riptide, so his holds at least 8.
I think Skid's gun was specially made for the mission, while the one Getaway has is a more "normal" one that's meant to be recharged and reused.
Murasame
I thought he died as part of the Deceptigod. But I would need to look it up. As stupid as it might be, I'm hoping that maybe one day galvatron, scourge and cyclonus from a different universe come to this universe as heralds of unicron. And I hope this time they don't get killed off. Also cyclonus vs cyclonus might be interesting.
