Reviews

I didn't care too much for the Dynobots' storyline, but I'm happy that Soundwave is back and Verity and Jimmy are okay

[James Bowman · Rating 2 out of 5]

The resolution to the Earth side of Simon Furman's IDW Transformers run. This comes off a bit better than its largely space-based counterpart, Revelation, but not so wonderful either. The Dinobots themselves are kind of bland, and we don't have much time to appreciate the effects of Sunstreaker's situation. At least everything is wrapped up, I suppose. (B-)

Seré honesta, creo que solo me importa la trama cuando hay decepticons involucrados, esto me pasa con las series y películas también, no se que dirá eso de mi.
Si la trama se aleja del conflicto con ellos mi cerebro decido borrarlo ya que no le importa.
Creo que por eso los spotlights anteriores no me gustaron tanto, aquí regresamos un poco a los cons y eso me gusto, además de que me da mucha ternura los dinobots.

It was difficult getting into this story because the characterization was so inconsistent. The Dynobots kept leaving on matters of principle or because this wasn't their fight only to regroup and swoop in to the rescue in the next issue.

[Don · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a fun story and it concluded many of the story lines that had been going on in previous cycles. The artwork was hard to differentiate characters and not so great but I enjoyed all of the action.

[Ben · Rating 2 out of 5]

All action. Not very interesting. This closes the storyline of Hunter O'Nion and Scorponok

[Dylan Harris · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wonderful. It pulls together the loose threads from the "Spotlight" issues that provides satisfactory closure.

[Steven Shinder · Rating 3 out of 5]

Thought this would at least be some dino fun. It was aight.

I wasn't sure how much I would like a Grimlock (or Dinobots for that matter) that weren't dumb, but this felt like a great way to update the characters without losing everything that made them cool to begin with. The way Grimlock describes his teams sounds a lot like how The Wreckers are described, so that's a little odd, but it still fits.

At last, the ultimate confrontation between not just GRIMLOCK and his somewhat-estranged fellow Dinobots, SLUDGE, SLAG, SNARL, and SWOOP, but also SUNSTREAKER/HUNTER, SCORPONOK, HOT ROD, Skywatch and a whole army of HEADMASTERS! Mayhem, machinations, melee, and, of course, Maximum Dinobots, all courtesy of TRANSFORMERS über-scribe Simon Furman and fan-favorite Nick Roche!
