Spotlight: Bumblebee

Over the last 25 years the Transformers have appeared in media from the exquisite to the scribbled and been licensed to the responsible and the... Pat Lee. Discussion of all the branches of TF media within!

I went to the comic shop today and completely forgot it existed. If it was on the shelf I didn't even notice it.

I...think I'll wait to read this until I get the deluxe it's packed with.

I think this was the worst spotlight I've ever read

The art was mostly shocking too

What the utter **** was that wierd scene between Hotspot and Bumblebee about alone time and Hot Spot not being wanted by Prowl??

Given the Meg's spotlight can't help but wonder if there will be some significance to this at some point - although i am struggling to see what.

Quite like the myths of the titans and the guiding hand that are building though.

the art was ******* *****.

What is EJ Su up to at the moment that stops him from drawing this or RID, as opposed to the blokes doing them, who imo just not good enough.

I think the significance of the recent spotlights is that they are being packaged with some of the new Generations figures...

Ahhh. That explains it. And reveals how big of a sucker I am. You could stick a "Transformers" label on a pile of dog poop and I'd probably try to transform it into Shitimus Prime.

Sheesh that was awful. The art was on par with Mosaic, the story was pointless and revealed nothing.

I actually cannot remember anything about it. And I only read it the other day. Bumblebee went to some kind of mayan temple and... was there some giant glowy alien crystal skull thing? something to do with killer ants? I think like, communists were involved?

Really, the pointless cul-de-sac that is this issue deserves the highest honor I can bestow:

I don't mean to brag but I totally saved my dosh and didn't buy this. Instead I bought a reasonably priced beer...and it was delicious!
