TRANSFORMERS PUNISHMENT (ONE SHOT)
(W) John Barber (A/CA) Livio Ramondelli
OPTIMUS PRIME RETURNS TO CYBERTON! And someone is killing Decepticons. PRIME teams with WINDBLADE to uncover the identity of the vigilante… but the answers will uncover darker secrets than anyone expected!

Wilder is a seperate character here. Lander and Diver also show up later. Seperate characters to Landmine and Waverider.
Megastar
After the events of this story and want Prowls up to, Optimus really needs to clean house.

Since I only buy the TPB's, I've got to ask: will this be included in one of the current TPB series or do I have to buy a loose issue?
Yobuster
Yeah, had me confused for a bit there. Fangry and Brisko. But i guess they were jsut using G1 names and a G1 likeness for some disposable characters.
Besides in the IDW universe now, there are no headmasters. They were either headmaster Sunstreaker and his clones much earlier in IDW OR they are the group of ancient faction the headmasters (who Galvaton massacred) before the time of Nova Prime.

What's not to get? There are three 'Cons in that scene, Brisko, Wilder, and Treadshot. They're just disposable guys with some fan-wanky names whose only purpose is to get killed.

I'm confused. fangry yells Brisko who is his headmaster yet fangry is not a headmaster in IDW and Brisko calls Fangry Wilder with is Fangrys name in masterforce. This whole thing is puzzling and i can't tell if it's bad writing or bad art.
Kraken
Yay! Finally. Been waiting for an age to check this out. Is the whole series going to be released at once or will it be individual issues?
EDIT: I really should read the front page story, it's a one shot!
Nocturne
Eventually.
Right now, he's playing space-jenga with the Scavengers and having wacky adventures!
Toolverine
Grimlock is missing right now, he will come back eventually.

Grimlock's off being Lenny right now. He couldn't lead a fat kid to cake.
Smokescreen
Slug, Dinobot leader? Heh, me Grimlock no think so!
Otherwise, it looks interesting.
Novaburnhilde
Yay Barricade.
I'm looking forward to finally being able to read this.

Treadshot is totally Universe 2003 Treadshot. That's a nice little homage.
Barricade being in this is cool.
Too bad I can never get into Ramondelli's art style.
WBohm
I have to say, I still don't like Ramondelli's art, but he has improved a lot.
