My Comments: I don’t know what all the hype was about this comic mini-series. I didn't enjoy it that much, true, it wasn't boring, but it wasn't as stunning or great as I was led to believe. I think it’s coz I don’t really like Transformers in the styles of comics. I find it weird that these robots seem to have a pink liquid similar to blood (which was overused anyway in order to show how brutal some of the fights were), and there is too much head ripping/exploding for my liking. In a few scenes, I had to pay attention and scrutinize to actually figure out what was going on as it was a bit messy and hard to discern. The story was okay, probably coz I was reading this as a standalone, it might have took me longer to understand what was going on. I didn't get absorbed into the story, oftentimes I find myself confused as to what is actually happening (took me a while to get who was who). Some of the dialogue was great, two scenes stand out to me because of the dialogue, the first one is Megatron’s “Option 1 and Option 2” while the second one is Rotorstorm’s “Wreckers! Combine!” gag. Anyway I didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I might, and it was disappointing in the end, I was surprised at all the deaths though.
