    No one else yet? Really!
    Wow!
    I thought this was a good issue, though a bit of filler. Lots of standing around and talking.
    I like what they did with Magnus, great cliffhanger ending. I figured that there would have to be a sudden switch in the story like that.
    Starscream always needs to be written this way.
    Bumblebee being told to shut up is great. TNG moment for sure.
    The wraiths are presented here as a far more dangerous than I have given them credit for before.
    This was beautifully drawn and colored.

    That art. MMMM. Especially those double-page spreads of Ramjet vs. Rom and you-know-what...

    This mini series is so good...like...wreckers good. Stardrive is a great character starscream's smuggness is so good (seriously the line "disgusting. They talked it out") was great. And last but not least friggin dire wraith magnus is the sickest thing milne might have ever drawn

    SUCH a good issue. Barber/Gage/Milne/Perez are firing on all cylinders.

    Also how FANTASTIC was it that Barber worked that misprint on that previous issue's recap page into the plot so naturally?

    I guess that Magnus armour is going to need a bit of burnishing for the next incumbent then.

    Wow, that is a lot of energy the synth has. So yea, this isn't just a little 'makes a trickle of energon,' this is a real 'one of them powers an army,' level.


    Blast Off! (I don't actually know their names!)

    I really hope we get a Stardrive toy. Unlikely, but a guy can hope. Maybe as some kind of exclusive.

    hopefully not that exclusive...

    i think maketoys should get in on it...tall deluxe scale sounds about right with a separate battle mask head

    It was a fantastic issue. I loved every moment of it! Stardrive is such a great addition to IDW Transformers, I really hope she doesn't die.

    As an old school Rom fan (one of my first comics as a kid) I've loved this take and especially this mini.

    It's crossover/universe expanding without being pretentious about it.

    And i really want a stardrive toy.

    I am upset there's only one more issue. This series was good.

    Why the hell does this thing have to have six sets of teeth? It's so freaky I love it.

    Livia is such a bitch, I wish Stardrive continued that fight.
