The arm does not have the same knuckle-duster spikes as Starscream’s, thus it is not Starscream’s arm.

Presumably, Sam gets control of the Allspark Shard, sometime after Prime turned it over to Sector7 in IDW’s prequel comic. (or more appropriately, after Wreckage demolished the facility it was being held in)

Doesn’t look anything like the comic book version, though. Not that this is a bad thing, as The Fallen’s comic design was awful.

I hated the first one because so much of it focused on the humans, and their characters were just plain silly. If the second one holds true to the trailer, it could be great. I just don’t have a lot of hope that it will focus more on robot wars than on stupid human drama/comedy.

Just my 2 cents.

Good to know that. I have not seen any of the leaks, but have been grabbing the issues as they come out

There have been leaks of various pages from the second issue of Defiance. Sorry, I meant to post this with my other post, but hit the Reply button too quickly, lol.

As I said, the Prequel comics.

the fallen (i think)

Slushie Man, where are you getting that info. In the DW version, the Fallen was one of the original 13 Transformers who wound up siding with Unicron instead of Primus, and in the IDW prequels, they have not discussed the Fallen yet, as Defiance only has one issue out so far, and they just found an artifact which could be from the Fallen.

In the prequel comics, The Fallen and Megatron are very very close. Megatron died, but The Fallen returned him to life in exchange for Megatron serving him (Thus creating the Decepticons). SO The Fallen has the ability to bring dead Transformers to life, and he has a special place in his cold metal chest for Megatron. It’s not hard to come to the conclusion that he brings Megatron back to life again.

Starscream’s arm is NOTHING like Megatron’s. And yes, there are. You can see them very clearly in the HD pictures. If you look at a side-by-side shot of a drawn picture of what the new Megatron looks like, you can see the similarities.
