This issue reminded me of a bit in the Death of Superman saga when Pa Kent has a heart attack and sees Krypton.

Daniel Warren Johnson scripts great looking action.

Just beautiful

I could hear The Touch and Dare just blasting in the background in those last few panels. I’m gonna miss this run after it’s over.

This is what is had beenboiling down too. The build up here was fantastic and the setup had me beaming. This is such a treat and takes me back to my childhood. I played this fight out with the toys countless times. Now it is time to see how it will unfold in the pages. The stuff with Spike's dad was touching and well done too.

Can't wait for the finale!

It's been quite the ride but it really feels like it is all coming together. There were points where I was not sure it would pay off but to see it here, on the door step of THE fight I am so excited. Next month cannot come fast enough.

Based on how issue 23 turned out, issue 24 is going to be a banger. In order to get there, this issue needed to deliver on the promise this series had shown two years ago with its first issue. It has. It's the best Image comic I've read. I'm glad I got into this title two years ago.

The sequences inside the Matrix were so beautiful, and a nice complement to the chaos of the battle for Chicago raging in the real world.

So much heart in this series. I'm going to miss Johnson's worldbuilding and characterization after issue #24.

The Best of the Energon Universe!! Blinded by Nostalgia, I may be, but this is the TOP of Current Comics! 5/5

Amazing artwork and dialogue as always.

Love this series.

Happy about Ultra Magnus’s development. This comic gave me a new appreciation for him. (Compared to Transformers: Prime.)
