Also did anyone pick up on the cool G1 Predacon style symbol/s on page 4. Thopught that was a real nice 'heritage' of the Predacons style nod. Hopefully at some point in TF lore that might be explored as id love to see how their faction name came about.

You mean the Wolf, Bird, Lion and Bull ones with the large Lion one in the background and the statue that lookes like good old Deaths-R-Us.
Didn't think they were Gen 1 Pred symbols to be honist.. although I could see how you got that from the lion and Bull.. You think there is a rhino under the speach bubble?
Guess that would make the wolf a tiger or whatever rampage was. Still looked like a wolf to me so that probubly why I didn't get it

Not sure what Rampge was, some kind of leapord/tiger/panther thingy. But im certain that's what the wall symbol is meant to be, given the lay out it's clearly got a 'hidden' fifth symbol we cant see beneath the speech bubble like you say. Good call on the statue, hadnt given that much thought.
On another note have we seen Scarem, Scourge or Cackle yet? I dont believe we have which is weird why they have been left out given the use of Sonar, Optimus Minor and such. Not that it matters, was just something that crossed my mind.

So perhaps the Predacons are indeed decendands of the Gen 1 Preds... although I still find that a little weird just because there is only suposed to be what? 100 years diffrence between BW and Gen1. And seeing as Gen 1 was dragged out over about 100 million years its hard to think that "Decendants" would be the operitave word.
Perhaps just the originators. Although what happened to them who knows. Actualy that gets me back in the mindset for my BW predacons customs.
Still say the symbol looks too wolfy.
Would be great to see in unspeach bubbled art

Still say the symbol looks too wolfy. You better email Don and complain. As for the descendant thing, I believe BW is 300 years after the end of the war, the end being debateable but I do agree after Cyberttron remained basically unchanged for millions of years having everyone (well most people) die off and have their descendants running about is weird. Its always been a big question mark over the orignal cartoon for me. Maybe the G1 Preds werent the founding fathers but perhaps inspired some of the orignators of the Deceptcions successors in some way?

lol... yes Don shall be hearing from me. Damn his shoddy workmanship Is it 300 years? I cant remember. Ether way it seemed like a hell of a jump in evolution (if you can call it that) I may have baught it if it were a few thousand years. Perhaps the preds and a few cons remained active after the peace and recruited the new bloods. I think there would have to be some cataclismic event to have killed of so many characters

Yeah but I suppose we'll never know.
Still more kudos to Don for the 'little things' we love so much.

In the back of issue 1 there is a B&W sketch of the Pred symbol sans speech bubbles. It isnt complete but you can see a Rhino.

Definatly the Preds then. Would be nice to see them in some sort of TO form
