    Yeah, not cool. Would’ve been better if he just crumbled into dust.

    Not exactly helping us warm up to the Visionaries. Especially Virulina. Unless that’s the goal, in which, it’s working.

    Maybe they're gonna use magic to turn his head back into a robot head, and interrogate it for information about the Transformers defenses, and kill him again!

    Maybe Kup dies in every issue!

    Well Virulina's one of the antagonists in the source material, so yeah, you're probably meant to not like her.

    One would expect a member of a villainous faction to do villainous things.

    Well well well looks like the entirety of their race is in approval of kup's assassination and this blatant act of war...

    Shaping up to be the few knights and the cybertronians vs the rest of their race

    More precisely, these Darkling Lords. How the heck these guys are considered to be on the same team, I’ll never understand.

    So is the way of a medieval-like culture such as this. Definitely an up-hill battle from here.

    Looks like a generic.

    The author is comparing Virulina to Magneto and we're supposed to view them as persecuted refugees...except everything bad that's ever happened to the Visionaries in this continuity is all Merklynn's fault and they're basically genocidal squatters. They don't feel like Mutants. They feel like Inhumans. Which is not a point in their favor.

    Was not enought they killed Kup, they had to parade his head around like a trophy?
    And MAN this artwork. LOok at Virulina\'s face on the first panel, what emotion is that? She is a living trollface.
    The classic cover just reminds me how much better the old designs were. Why are they not using those? These new characters are nothing like the classic ones in either personality or look... they don\'t even have holograms on their chests. Might as well call this something else and don\'t pretend it has anything to do with Visionaries.

    I went back and watched the first episode of the show instead, and it just reminded me... we would need Mortdred in this book. His ridiculously overplayed sycophantism is sorely needed for humour. :) 
    It also reminded me how much more memorable the cartoon made the characters with just a few lines in a 20 minute cartoon.
    And also, that beards apparently mean you are evil. :D

    A great way to endear a new audience (most of whom likely never heard of the original) to a new team by having them murder a beloved character. That worked so well for DC with Superboy Prime, they did it again and again! [/sarcasm]
