    It always sucks coming to the party late, but I really enjoyed this comic. Loved Rodimus getting advice from Magnus, it definitely seemed like a throwback to the old 1984--er, 1986 days. Hopefully Kup comes back somehow, I hate how he was sacrificed in Infestation (although the implementation with his flashbacks was awesome), but that's neither here nor there.

    I guess I'm glad Milne kept the general style as well, although I preferred the colors in #1 for some reason. I just wish it was a little less washed out.

    Does anyone know, when you go digital can you view them on a windows computer or does it have to be iphone/ipad? I may go digital and buy the TPBs too.

    If you go to Comixology's website, you can buy and view comics on your computer as well as mobile devices.

    This is Milne's concept art for him. According to his DeviantArt comments, James requested Rung's alt mode to be weird and hard to figure out.

    Dear Primus, I had already imagined him as a remold/repaint partner with Scrounge because of their spindly robot forms but WOW that alt mode just makes it PERFECT.

    I hearby demand a Rung/Scrounge mold in Generations next year!


    -ZacWilliam, knows it's probably too late for Hasbro to add anything before 2014 the way designing works but it's just such a great match and gets us two unlikely but AWESOME comic only characters in one shot!

    I had that vibe as well. Could be a nod, but he was getting his arm fixed :lol

    It's cold outside and there's no kind of atmosphere.

    Excellent issue, I don't think I could say anything that hasen't been said here already. I do have a question though, on the last page Red Alert said they "Bought the ship". Who exactly did they buy it from? And maybe this is part of what I believe is Prowls plan with this business with the "sparkstealer" (which if it is, makes him waaaaayyyyy more ruthless than I gave him credit for).

    Some of the returning Nails at a guess, he said he thought it was a Neutral ship.

    This series is just so damn good so far. Characters that have character. I love the dialogue and love the story.

    As it stands, it's easily my favorite of the two ongoings. While I liked the first issue of RID, it didn't jump off the page the way this one does.

    I just hope that just because the Autobots are on the other side of the galaxy doesn't mean they won't tangle with some Decepticons once in a while :)
