Spike and Optimus sharing a sunset…I really live for those kinds of moments in this series.

All Hail Megatron

The monster has arrived and he is as terrible as he should be.

Last issue showed how Megatron became the horror that he is and this INE shows him in action. It also shows Optimus being the "gentle giant" and warm father that he should be. The next couple issues are going to be awful for our bots.

El mundo empieza a tomar cartas en el asunto en este alzamiento Decepticon en la Tierra (con Megatron volviendo a ser el despiadado líder hasta con los suyos). Inevitablemente los G.I. JOE aparecerán del todo en la cabecera. Pero me alegra que DWJ pueda seguir disponiendo de momentos de diálogo y seguir trabajando en esa relación de Spike con los Autobots y sobre todo Optimus. Se trata de ofrecer algo de consuelo al recordar que su padre se "fundió" con la Matriz de Liderazgo... Pero por desgracia este artilugio no funciona de una forma tan directa a la hora de servir al Prime para tener consejo y presencia de los sucesores inmortalizados en su interior. Un dolor que siente Spike pero que parece que Optimus tratará de paliar siendo esa figura paterna que tanto necesita... Y por otro lado, la desesperación de Cliffjumper por Carly encuentra un poderoso aliado para iniciar un rescate por otra banda de la historia. Prepárandose para un nuevo arco hiper emocionante y adrenalítico de TRANSFORMERS con Jorge Corona aguantando el tipo.

Megatron is back and he has ended the Decepticon schism on Earth. Megatron has shown again how merciless he is against his enemies and traitors to his cause.

Corona continues some of the best work in his career, emulating DWJ's art style on this title along with several flourishes of his own.

Along with the main story, more connecting threads to the other parts of the Energon Universe, with the appearance of Doc from G.I. Joe.

As a fan of Megatron - ALL HAIL Megatron, it is nice to see him represented as the Big Level Game Boss he is. Capable of true devastation even in a diminished form. Looks, brains, Meg's got it all!

CHOO CHOO, top 5 moments in comic history

[Luc Forsyth · Rating 4 out of 5]

why is optimus the proud father of 50+ traumatised children

[Craig Schorling · Rating 5 out of 5]

"Then there's gotta be a sunrise at some point." Another great issue. Megatron is on the war path and things are shaping up to be spicy over the next several issues. This was a brutal one.

Really really great issue! Megatron is back! He had some absolutely brutal scenes, I love what he did to starscream!
I loved that moment between Optimus and Spike talking about his dad in the matrix, I hope we get more into that in the series as well.
