I am really enjoying the new mainline series of Transformers comics, but just as much I am enjoying the spinoff comic book series titled, "Galaxies," that offers standalone stories based around popular characters separate from the main line storyline! The Constructicon 4 issue series was a great opener, and so far the Cliffjumper storyline is a strong follow up. Both of them have me excited for the Arcee/Greenlight/Gauge story after that, and especially the Ultra Magnus spotlight by issue 10. There hasn't been anything said on the life of the series after that, but I'm hoping it will continue for the foreseeable future, and I've thought about 5 potential characters I'd love to see covered in the Galaxies line of spinoff stories!

5. Dinobots
It all depends on how the comic series wants to tackle Earth at this point, but I'd love to see the Dinobots get their own spotlight and they have the popularity for it. Grimlock and his band of destruction, not so smart soldiers have frequently been a part of Transformers mythology and I'm expecting them to show up at some point in the comic series. With their Earth alt modes it might be a while until we see them emerge, but I'm still excited for it all the same.

4. Springer
Out of all the characters introduced in the original movie, out of the Autobot cast I think that Springer was by far my favorite among them! I loved that he was basically the classic hero personality, with great one liners and an attitude of courage about him. Some of the season 3 episodes even painted him in the light of that role with him taking charge in the battles. While war hasn't broken out yet, I'd love to see the heroics of Springer being used on possibly an alien planet somewhere, or to oppose the Rise.

3. Kup
Another bot introduced in the original movie, I think that Kup could offer one of our first real looks into the Three Spark War should he get a standalone comic all about himself. His entire personality resolves around war and being a veteran, so having his story involve him in some way experiencing that war the series keeps mentioning would fit well with the themes of the characters and offer the readers a look at something still quite a mystery.

2. Jazz
One of the hippest and coolest Autobots from the original tv show, Jazz has yet to make an appearance in the mainline comics and I'm wondering when he will if he is to take up the mantle of second in command of the Autobots under Optimus. I'd love to get a series focused around this bot who surely has plenty of stories to tell, and it could give us a reason as to why he isn't around during the current events of the comics!

1. Cyclonus
This is a character that we already have in the main comic storyline, but I feel like the story potential built up around him is so strong that he could carry his own multi part issue series with no issue! There are clearly a lot of strange things going on with Cyclonus, with him being a veteran of the Three Spark War and also plagued by hallucinations of his past dead comrades. What happened to them, and why has Cyclonus distanced himself so far from everyone else? It seems like a story worth telling on its own, and whether it is addressed in the main line or in its own standalone series I'm excited to learn more about his past.
