So, shades of War Within has led into heavy overtones of Fall of Cybertron.
Not so sure I like the Dynobot bestial stuff too much, a bit too reminiscent of "That" story.
However, lovely art, decent, strong story, all delivered very nicely, I'd say.

Although my girlfriend and I cannot picture the quintesson as having any voice other than Wayne Pygram's. We've been watching a lot of Farscape lately, and every time he speaks we can only picture it as Scorpius speaking.

dark, messy art and a rather unimpactful story i would say.

Same as the first one basically.

When your Dinobot plot basically isn't as good as a videogames you are doing something wrong.

So...this is that first encounter between Scorponok and the Dynobots that was referenced in Max Dinos/Spotlight: Grimlock? And Scorponok detonates the energon and somehow all those who were closest to the blast survive?

Eh...
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!
