I don't see why. Because it used to be a vague concept? We still really don't know much about them, let alone their history in other continuities. Heck, we don't even know all of their names.

Come to think of it, isn't the plot of the MTMTE comic somewhat like the Exiles novel? Optimus finds a star map inside the Matrix which leads them to long lost colonies and a few members of the Original 13 and their relics?

Sort of. I guess it is similar.

I guess my problem with this is that, within TF, it's not exactly uncommon to kind of duplicate things. I mean, there's Unicron, D-Void, and Dark Nova, who are all arguably Big Bad Evil Demigods of planetary size and power. Mystic artifacts, too--the Matrix, the AllSpark (in various continuities), the Magnificence, whatever. TF is full of weird duplicate shit.

We'll have to see where it goes, though, like I said.
