    This was arguably the best issue of this series so far.

    Not really. You just fixed it for yourself.

    I would consider getting a better artist than Livio.

    I know though, but yes, it had BOTH the feelings of those series..why can't we return to that age and get till all are one/RiD's art over optimus Prime's? To me it looks weird..

    I can't say I *expected* her to die at this point- the tone of the mini didn't suggest a dark ending (unlike Salvation, Punishment, etc. who did), but yea.

    Wouldn't work, because Ramondelli's pencils don't look crisp enough... Chances are he uses heavy filters and coloring to speed up the work with rather rushed job on pencils.

    Bumblebee is coming back.

    There's no doubt. It will be interesting to see how. It will be funny to have both goldbug and bb in scenes together though.

    And Centurion, since he's the Hearts of Steel Bumblebee.

    Absolutely! It was a fun read, lots of surprises. I really, really enjoyed it. So much so that I don’t even want to nitpick! That is a real achievement. Livio is getting better. The pacing was good.
    Nice to know bludgeon can be blamed for a lot of the aggressiveness we see. Bee will fix it!

    Someone already did. Her name's Priscilla Tramontano. She fixed it back in More Than Meets the Eye #55.

    Actually, it's kind of weird that Livio didn't give Prowl his missing eye back when an earlier comic established that he got it fixed.

    I've already tweeted to John Barber about this.

    Maybe I'll get a response down the line?

    Are you sure? I thought he had the missing eye in those last issues of MTMTE as well? Oh well, I would like him to get his eye back anyway. It’s needling me for some irrational reason.

    Prowl would definately have got his eye fixed by now - he likes to be prepared and focused.
    Maybe hes screwed over so many people no one is prepared to fix it for him... maybe its just in shadow

    I'm 110% positive. He did have the missing eye in MTMTE #56 and #57, but at the end of #57 (after #57 time skips to 3 days after Sentinel's attack on Luna-1), he is shown with two intact eyes.

    Proof:

    Side-note: I'm hoping next issue explains how Prowl went from chilling with Fort Max, Cerebros, and Red Alert to storming the enemy's stronghold with Garnak, Wheelie, and Stardrive.

    (Side-side-note: I'm kind of bummed we didn't get a mini-series or even an one-shot featuring Prowl, Fort Max, Cerebros, and Red Alert exploring some other secret Luna 1 might have.)

    Agreed, I was hoping they’d have some stories together as well.

    This was probably the only issue of OP ive liked so far. That last page was WTF. I am so so SO happy to see the people that i saw in that last page still alive and well so far.

    artists shouldn't get work based solely on how quickly they can fart out crap.

    actual talent and competence should be key qualities I would be looking for.

    Prowl's got the eye in the last scene of MTMTE, yes, but that same issue also mistakenly drew him with both eyes in an earlier scene too, so we really can't rule out that it's MTMTE that's in error, not this issue.

    Or maybe his new eye got in the way of another Prime inbetween ...

    True, he had both eyes in an earlier scene, but in the very next scene he went back to having one eye, whereas in the very end, he had both eyes and they stayed like that for the remainder of the scene.

    It's possible that this is all a matter of miscommunication on both sides?

    I haven't heard back from James Roberts, but maybe that's more to do with the fact that it's Thanksgiving. Maybe I should try tweeting the question again tomorrow?
