Changing sides happens all of the time. But where's the character who buckles when it comes down to it?
But you're right I can see people not favoring the change and Longshot is pretty cool.
What if Magneto is grown soft. Or not but misunderstood about his agenda and his brotherhood grows tired of waiting to "take over the world". And Exodus wants to get rid of the "old man". Magneto who has complete faith in himself because of Longshot's luck, let's his guard down and Longshot betrays him. Leading to the downfall of Magneto.
Now that's a good idea. Magneto is so busy being a "celebrity" that Longshot takes the opening as a sign of weakness on the part of his idol and tries to kill him. Maybe they don't succeed, but it could still be a good plot.
BTW, I prefer the bad Longshot. He is an example of what the Ultimate Universe is about. He's not 616 Longshot (the 616 version isn't even a friggin' mutant!) in any way except the powers.

All right so here's my line up for next time we see them:
On Genosha
Magneto
Longshot - I'm thinking it'd be kinda cool if we got a little storyline where Longshot turns out to be some punk. He claims he hates flatscans but we've only seen him kill the ones working for Mojo out of self defense and the politician out of Jealousy. I'd love to see him start to feel guilty about so many deaths at his hands if Magneto is still badass like he should be.
Mystique - Hopefully gets out of the Trisk.
Juggernaut - Little surprise for Rogue/Gambit. No word on what happened to him at the end of the annual.
Exodus - I dunno why. Ever since HoM: Hulk, I've been really interested in this guy. I'd love to see him by Magneto's side.
Pyro - Only start him off on the X-Men. It might sound lame but I love the Movie's version of him. *I had a big long thing written explaining but I'll save it for the ultimization game*.
If somehow they bust Toad and Blob out. Let 'em rip.
I like this line-up. Maybe not Exodus so much, but I've never been a big fan of him. I'd also like an ultimate version of Thunderbird to grace the Brotherhood's ranks, maybe instead of Juggernaut. Oh, and Multiple Man, he was too cool.
As for the whereabouts of some of the Brotherhood members. I guess most of em are in Camp X-Factor. I wouldn't be surprised if Sabretooth is too. Yeah, I know he "died", but how did Wolvie really slice his head off if he had Adamantium bones, hmmm?
Just my theories on their whereabouts, of course:
Blob - Camp X-Factor (he was at Magneto's floating base in the Arctic [which I'll just call Avalon for now] when the X-Men showed up, right?)
Toad - He was supposed to have left the Brotherhood along with Rogue and Juggernaut (as mentioned in #22) but then he turned up again (along with Rogue) in Ultimate War #1. He was arrested so he's probably in Camp X-Factor too.
Mastermind - If he could escape once, he could probably do it again. Doubt he's in custody.
Multiple Man - In Camp X-Factor, but it'd be easy for him to have had one of his dupes get arrested while he snuck off.
Who does that leave based on the larger scale Brotherhood stats?
