In issue #80.5 of Transformers: Regeneration One, Optimus Prime watches over a Cybertron that hasn’t seen a Megatron for decades. However, the silence shatters to an end, as Simon Furman and Andrew Wildman return to the comic series that was on a 20 year long hiatus.
This is my first ever Transformers comic book. I was very excited, honestly, as I grew up on numerous different shows for the series, and it was something I watched quite a lot with my Father. This was my first time really coming into the series on my own… and it was a massive let down.
The art was really well done, I really enjoyed it; however, it was the story line that really let it down for me. There… wasn’t really a story line at all. It was a recap of what was to come in the future of the comics, with two or three little side stories, over 22 pages – and after 86%, it turns into a whole different comic. I felt really let down by this, considering Furman and Wildman were the two original creators of the Regeneration One series back in the days. There was so much just missing from this, it just felt like filler.
This was a serious let down, and I really regret reading it; a free comic book that really just is not worth the time or effort to read 22 pages of.

It sucks the world's were to small and the pictures were to bleary for my eyes they could have made it clearly than how it looks and sounds great for a young kid
It was way too small for me and my first time reading this I think it's safe to say they should not have made this

Reboot of tge old series
What I did in this story was first the art work. It was crisp, detailed and sophisticated. The story was a good start at a continuation of the original story.

Since I came into the series cold, having not read or seen anything Transformers other than the movies and the original show as a kid. I had a hard time following this one. So imo it was only ok.

It's free and short but good!
I love the Transformers franchise! So I would typically read the comics/books. And this was good I would rate it this.

It was good
It was good but it needed bigger words. I think that people should think before purchasing because it can just use up all your memory on your device.

If you enjoyed Marvel's classic series. The trades are tough to find. But soooo through the read.
