Via website Adventuresinpoortaste.com we can share for you the IDW Optimus Prime #19 Full Preview.
This is the part #4 of “The Falling” arc that brings us a brief flashback of Starscream in Cybertron, which reveals several aspects of the early days of the Decepticon Seeker. Then, we go back to the present time where Optimus Prime seemed to be doomed by the hand of Onyx Prime. But Starscream doesn’t seem much convinced about this.
OPTIMUS PRIME #19

“The Falling,” Part 4. Onyx Prime’s motivations are clear, and his scheme seems unstoppable. Heroes have fallen, and hope dwindles for the survivors. Cybertron’s last chance of salvation is in the hands of… well, that would be telling, wouldn’t it?

Maybe this will give Scoop and Devastator some cause to get back at Shockwave for ruining Cybertron and give combiners some credibility since Lost Light #12.

Starscream's side of history seems kind of whack.

I’m more thinking of his dedication to the Dark Cybertron prophecy. Given that Shockwave actually created that, it would probably throw him for a loop.

It really should have been in blue text. Dammit.

Remember that, being from Cybertron, Scoop doesn't view the Thirteen as gods – that's specifically a thing that the colonies do.
I mean, the reason that you have no idea what his motivations or plan are is because the story hasn't revealed them yet.
It seemed like you were complaining that they should have been revealed by now because that's what the solicits implied, but apparently you weren't, so I'm not sure what your point is!

I'm actually kind of confused as to what you're doing in this thread other than telling everyone you hate the comic with the passion of a thousand burning suns over and over and over again…=)

Tough? I'm not acting tough. I'm a softie.
I said, after three parts, this story is garbage, and I have no idea what Onyx's motivations or plot is. Pretty boilerplate stuff for a comic post. That's it really.

Armada Swindle? Why is he in it? Are he and Starscream supposed to be – Oh. OH! Very good. Very clever. Well done Barber.

aww, armada swindle

You realize you're never going to dig yourself out of this hole you're making for yourself? You're better off not posting anymore than trying to act tough.

I wasn't complaining, guy.

@Ismaeel Kamal Starscream\'s blue face is a nod to the G1 toy and marvel comics
@worldsgreatest I think Shockwave\'s plan is to continue where he left off during the Dark Cybertron crossover

Starscream having a blue face in the first page looks…odd to me.
Omegashark18
I don’t think ANYONE knows. I’m curious as to how they’ll all react myself, particularly the religious fanatic Scoop. He’ll probably have a crisis of faith because of this.
Jalaguy
Solicitations are written ahead of the actual issues, complaining that the final product doesn't quite match up is ridiculous.
Uncle Yetibacca
That statement only shows how naive you are. As NominusDP said, if he had outright revealed his motivations it would have been anticlimatic. It's call suspense, to keep readers hooked, being straightforward isn't always the best for a story.
Besides, those who read the FCBD issue already know.

So it looks like the last half of the Matrix of Leadership is kaput (maybe, it's literally only the first few pages). Maybe Optimus will forge a new one as The Arisen? (He suggested, knowing full well that that's probably not happening.)
Also, it looks like Starscream doesn't know Onyx is Shockwave. Anyone want to wager how surprised Starscream will be when he finds out?
Omegashark18
He’s in Unicron, so he’s not.
worldsgreatest
I do hope that Starscream ends up sacrificing himself to save Cybertron not out of any sense of nobility, but because killing himself is the only way to get people to leave him alone.
