Transformers: Megatron Origin #1

Megatron Origin #1

by Eric Holmes, Alex Milne (Illustrator)

Part 1 of 4! Before allegiance, rank and function - before war - a civilian will become a warrior, and warrior will become a leader. As a leader he will learn of the most powerful weapon on the planet - a weapon powerful enough to bind legions to his will - a faction named Decepticon. This landmark collection brings the would-be major players of that faction together for the first time in a seminal story for Megatron, the Decepticons and the Great War; also includes a cover gallery by artist Alex Milne and variant cover artist Marcelo Matere.

BIOPOLÍTICA PURA HELL YEAH me gusta el arte, aunque es denso al igual que la historia. Es como leer una revuelta desde abajo, con toda la confusión que esta involucra. Espero que en los siguientes números exista mayor claridad.

Unfortunate to say, nothing really exciting happens. I think it was due tt the artwork being so muddy and obscured that there was no way to read the action.

Wow! Replacing workers that you see as scum of the Earth with automation to cut costs? Shooting at protests? I'm glad that's not something that happens in real life and these alien robots don't reflect our real human problems!

No, but in actuality it's cool seeing the darker takes on Megatron's origins. My first introduction to Megatron was Transformers One and it's neat seeing how he turns out when he doesn't have that blind optimism in the system like he had in TF One. This is the Megatron most people grew up with and he's scary and neat.

The artwork is muddy and it's hard to understand what's happening a lot of the times, but eh. It's not that bad.

Also, call me a little bitch, but I love being pandered to. Yes, I freaked out when I saw Rumble and Frenzy. Yes I freaked out when I saw Prowl. Sue me.

As someone who knows way too much about the comic series for someone who's never read it, I gotta point it out. That one comic author who did Arcee's transphobic and misogynistic comic who was like "there were no women on Cybertron" was dumb??? There's a fem-looking bot in one of the advertisements shown, and in one of these issues, we see Elita 1 in the background. Ik that Arcee comic was bad and transphobic/misogynistic but damn- how are you going to say female Cybertronians weren't a thing when they clearly were since day one?

A mess. The artwork was so convoluted that I had to read the synopsis online to make out what exactly happened. After that the story makes sense (it's not bad) but that's not the point. Hope it gets better next issue.
