Script (W)rap of Spotlight: Hardhead

Simon Furman, Transformers writer extraordinaire, has provided another installment of his infamous teasing, but not-at-all-revealing script (w)raps, of Transformers Spotlight: Hardhead.

The book, out in July, is the second out of four Spotlight issues that will lend a hand in ending Mr. Furman's "tion" saga.

The book will be penciled by Nick Roche (sketch).

The following is Mr. Furman's script (w)rap of Transformers Spotlight: Hardhead. Line breaks are mine for easier reading:
    Here we go with a post-script autopsy of Transformers Spotlight: Hardhead, the second part of the “Revelation” quartet. As spoiler-free as possible but there are some wicked teases. Be warned.

    Once again, the challenge here was to both create a rounded (complete in one issue) character focus and maintain the breathless, headlong forward pace of the main Revelation/Dead Universe arc (begun in earnest in Spotlight: Cyclonus).

    Heaps going on, and much of it centres on Nightbeat and Gorlam Prime (the planet from Spotlight: Nightbeat). In many ways, this turned into something of a sequel to Spotlight: Nightbeat (just as part 3, Doubledealer, became a sequel of sorts to Spotlight: Hot Rod), furthering/concluding much of the stuff set up therein.

    How does Hardhead fit in? Well let’s just say that who he is and what he does within the framework of the IDW/TF-verse makes him the perfect foil for Nightbeat as he investigates his missing memories. Hardhead is, for want of a better expression, a “problem solver.”

    How that plays into Nightbeat’s predicament provides one of the TF/IDW-verse’s most gobsmacking, heartstopping payoffs to date!

    Plus, a whole host of Micromasters (how many? Ask Nick Roche. He had to draw all the little beggars).

    And more on the Autobots’ BIG problem, the furtherance of Arcee’s quest, all-out action from The Wreckers and, of course, Nova/Nemesis Prime (and the rest of the Dead Universe cast).

    Spotlight: Hardhead ships in July.

I'm glad he's wrapping up a lot of plotlines in this mini, I just hope that the pay off for them is worth it. It seems odd to me that the intro to the series was 7 issues and conclusion to a bunch of plotlines is 4. TBH, I think Infiltration would have benefited from being compressed, and it seems like a satisfying conclusion would need to be longer.
