La guerra tra Autobots e Decepticons per il dominio su Cybertron, dopo essere arrivata sulla Terra, entra in una nuova fase: i Combiner sono scesi in campo. Mostruose fusioni di potenza e volontà, queste creature gigantesche riscrivono le regole del conflitto. Ma mentre Optimus Prime cerca un equilibrio tra giustizia e sopravvivenza, nuove alleanze si formano, vecchie ferite si riaprono e la Terra si trova al centro di una battaglia più grande di quanto potesse immaginare.

This is turning out to be a really fun (and incredibly violent) series.

The series continues to thrill and amaze. This is a very action packed volume but it still throws some very emotional moments at you.

During the first twelve issues of Daniel Warren Johnson’s excellent Transformers run, the Autobots and the Decepticons continue their never-ending war on Earth, with the latter group has been in shambles with frequent changes of leadership. From Starscream to Shockwave, the Decepticons seem lost without the one who started it all, Megatron, who hasn’t appeared in the series so far... until now.
Apart from the Cobra Commander miniseries, we actually see what happens to Megatron during a story from Energon Universe 2024 Special which opens this volume. With art by Invincible’s Ryan Ottley, who brings his own visual flair to the brutal action between the Transformers as well as other aspects of the Energon Universe, this story serves as a nice prelude that fills in the gaps.
Considering the last time we saw Starscream was him getting the shit kicked out of him by Soundwave, the first two issues (drawn by Jason Howard) here showcase the aftermath where he is left broken. Beginning with two issues that serve more as a side-story, we see a tragic origin in how Starscream – formerly known as Ulchtar – who, along with his friend Genvo, suddenly find themselves in a war where death is knocking at their door. Coinciding with the Cybertron flashbacks, we see Starcream in the present day being reconstructed by a bunch of humans with their own evil scheme to use the former Decepticon leader.
Starscream has always been my favourite Transformer as he is an ego-defined lackey with ambitions that he can be a better leader than Megatron. There have been some incarnations that have leaned towards a tragic angle for the character, and Johnson really showcases that as his participation in the war forces him to do horrible things under the leadership of Megatron. Although Megatron transforming into a handgun for Starscream to hold has always been silly, Johnson recontextualizes this so that Starcream is forced to become an executioner. The flashbacks are more engaging than what is happening in the present day that has a shoehorned G.I. Joe tie-in, despite the fantastic art by Jason Howard who captures a lot of the same aesthetics that this series has established.
As Starscream finds a big piece of Cybertron that crashed into Earth in the previous volume, he also discovers the chained-up Astrotrain and the Combaticons. After killing the humans that were trying to control him, though he does spare the cat, Starscream forms his own team of Deceptions and get revenge on Soundwave and Co. You do see what the Autobots have been doing as they are split off into three different groups such as Arcee, Beachcomber and their human allies Spike and Carly are trying to find the PTSD-driven Ultra Magnus, whilst Cliffjumper finds himself with the dishevelled resistance on Cybertron. While there is some compelling characterisation going on in these subplots, the overall package can feel unfocused and lacks that clear drive of the previous volumes.
As much as I am always going to miss Johnson on art duties – whose work on the first six issues is exceptional – Jorge Corona successfully carries the torch of making this the most visually striking Transformers comic. While there is a busyness with the amount of stuff that Corona throws in a lot of pages, he still showcases a scrappiness and a brutality to the action sequences where you can tell the Transformers have been through a lot. You do get stunning double-page spreads that make great use of the kaiju-like battle between the two Combiners Devastator and Bruticus, the action does not negate the collateral damage to the people of Seattle, which causes Optimus Prime and his Autobots to be heroes, even if the outcome is not always pleasant.
This volume may not reach the brilliance of what came before, but still a fun continuation of what is arguably the most exciting thing currently happening in the Transformers franchise, whilst ending on a huge cliffhanger that hopefully sets the stage for an exciting final arc of Daniel Warren Johnson’s run.

Transformers, Vol. 3 feels more like a breather, even though a whole lotta shit is still going down.
We’ve basically got the Autobots split into three teams, one protecting the humans (Carly gets some spotlight), Optimus off doing his own thing with another squad, and then the pink one (sorry, name’s escaping me). On top of that, we get a few badass returns that shift the tide in major ways—some revive action that’s actually pretty epic.
Meanwhile, the Decepticons are having their own little civil war, and we finally get some real backstory on Starscream. It mostly works, though yeah, it’s a bit been there, done that. And oh yeah, a major mega-villain makes a comeback, and that shit is intense. And as always, the art is FANTASTIC.
Overall, it’s clearly setting up for the final arc of Warren’s run. Still damn good stuff, just not hitting quite as hard as volumes 1 and 2. But I'm strapped in for the ride.

7.4/10
The Decepticons had the upper hand so far, but for some of them, the first thing in their mind is not to defeat the enemy, but to rule. This leads to unnecessary fractions. That is great news for the Autobots, because they sure do need the time to regroup and come up with a new plan.
As with the second volume, my only real issue, is that Carly and Spike are barely in it. Carly does have some moments here and there, but the same can't be said for Spike.

Yes, by all means, keep introducing a bigger cast despite the fact that it's hard to tell most of them apart and there's barely any time to form emotional attachments to them. Starting to feel like I should just stop with this series, it's not working anymore for me.

An action-packed, metal scrapping war of the factions. I love the rock 'em sock 'em robots action, but hate the collateral damage.
Soundwave and his faction of Decepticons have declared war on the humans to flush out Optimus Prime and his remaining Autobots on Earth. Starscream is "saved" from being scrapped and has followers of his own. The remaining Autobots on Cybertron have found a glimmer of hope and are on an almost suicidal mission to see it through. All this and someone has awakened.
This book is a war on all fronts. However, it also gives a little time for the characters to get their points of view across as well. I can't wait to see what happens next.

Things go from bad to worse for Starscream, while the Autobots do their best regroup from their latest defeat. Meanwhile, Elita leads a new resistance on Cybertron, and the Spark starts giving Optimus some trouble, making him lose control in the middle of battles. All this, and the introduction of a new Combiner as well. Action packed, solid artwork, and some good character work for those it manages to focus on. I do worry that the cast is getting a bit too big though.
August 15, 2025
Bold of you to introduce a handful of new characters when I really don’t give a shit about any of the ones already in the story.
Illustrations kick ass. Story is pretty bad.
Extra star because a Combiner gets RKO’d off of a skyscraper.

This volume starts strong. The first couple issues have a different artist, and honestly? I loved it. Big, bold visuals, lots of energy, a cleaner look— exactly the kind of momentum I want from a Transformers book. The Starscream storyline was easily the highlight for me, with a really fun mix of scheming, swagger, and chaos.
But once that early arc wrapped, the book lost some of its clarity. The art shifts again and gets noticeably more muddled — not unreadable, just less clean and less exciting. The middle section feels a bit befuddled (for lack of a better word), like it’s trying to juggle too much without the crisp storytelling of Vol. 1 or even parts of Vol. 2.
The final issue brings it back and ends things on a high note, but overall this one didn’t have the heart or momentum of the first volume.
Still a good time — just not nearly as strong as the series’ best moments. 3.5 stars for me

In Vol. 2, Soundwave took over Decepticon leadership from Starscream. Under his cold, calculating leadership, the Decepticons finally seemed to take an edge over Optimus Prime's Autobots, but the heroes manage to carve out a victory over the joint alliance of Soundwave's Earth-bound robots and the Cybertronian faction led by Shockwave. A fracture has formed within the ranks of the remaining Decepticons, which a wounded Starscream is more than happy to pry open further. With this volume, we follow a civil war amongst the two emerging Decepticon factions, led by Starscream and Soundwave, respectively. Meanwhile, Cliffjumper has found himself back on Cybertron following the events of the previous volume, and is reunited with old Autobot allies. Learning that Shockwave's reign has ended on Cybertron, the Autobots rally to take control of the planet that has long been lost to them.
Combiner Chaos is a further expansion of Daniel Warren Johnson's ongoing run on the title. More characters are introduced with multiple storylines across multiple settings, which can at times feel a little too bloated. Though Johnson rightfully emphasizes the action as a key driver behind the enjoyment people have in the series, some fumbles seem more present here. The opening two issues of this arc (both illustrated by Jason Howard), depict Starscream's origin and new bid towards power. Though there are interesting ideas here, the origin story is a little too underbaked and serves little purpose towards understanding the villain. What is a bit more intriguing is the idea of a varied ideologies amidst the Decepticon ranks, something I hope is continued upon in the next arc.
Jorge Corona delivers the majority of the artwork in this arc, and he continues to deliver. The action set piece in Seattle was fantastic, and the designs of the different Transformers continue to shine. Ryan Ottley also contributes artwork in the Transformers story from the Energon Universe 2024 Special, and to no surprise, Ottley's style fits seamlessly into Johnson's brand of storytelling.

While I really enjoy the space saga they are building here, I find the artwork lacking. These characters and their warring disposition have existed for decades in comics, so the “re-telling” quality of the story is hard to get away from…. but this particular art style, which is messy and flat with a lot of unfocussed panels and heavy black ink, doesn’t help to make this retelling distinct in a good way.
3/5

Volume 2 started to lag, and the first few chapters here are soft but it revs back up again into a frantic, frenetic meditation of war, violence, hate, and the toll it takes on even the “heroes.”

Reaparició del malvat per exel·lència en el món dels Transformers. Continua el bon dibuix de Jorge Corona a l'interior i de Daniel Warren Johnson a les portades, amb el color de Mike Spicer, el que dona a la sèrie la seua aparença gràfica tan especial. El guió de Warren Johnson entreté i manté l'interés, amb un equilibri entre drama i humor.

I'm going to make this review entirely about Starscream, and you can't stop me. He's the cover art of this volume. It's fine.
Number one. Ulchtar? There have always been crazy names in Transformers, but it's hilarious to me that we are giving just one (1) transformer an alien-sounding name completely divorced from the rest of the cast. And of course it's Starscream of all characters.
Number two. Loved that he saw a cat being conniving and sassy like him and immediately went I LIKE IT!
Number three. Loved when he called Soundwave a bitch.
Number four. We have to talk about the Megatron brainwashing him into being a killing machine thing. Starscream is always compelling to me throughout continuities for having aspirations of grandeur and power but being fundamentally different from Megatron. He usually is just fine with screwing other people over, but unlike Megatron, that isn't like... the end goal. With Megatron the cruelty is the point. With Starscream, he doesn't mind using cruelty if it helps him meet his goals. Which are to be important, powerful, and well-liked. Starscream is corrupt and backhanded to get to be those things!
All this to say, I was disappointed that Starscream is woobified to the point that he couldn't hurt a fly in the flashback and its only through Megatron's brainwashing he turns out the way he does. I much prefer a version that acknowledges what an awful influence Megatron's mistreatment has had on him, but that his choices and actions are still his own (okay, I'm talking about IDW).
Optimus' character struggles with a similar lack of agency driving his actions with the evil hand syndrome takeover thing but it hasn't played out enough for me to say definitively I don't like it. With all this Starscream stuff? I just don't like it.
I will keep reading the series, however, because the fights and art are appealing and it satisfies that robot boxing coach inside of me.

Art is still amazing but the storytelling is slowing down a bit and not to focus too much on a character I find particularly interesting. I am surprised that the stuff with Cliffjumper and Elita back on Cybertron is actually the more interesting thread here. The stuff with Arcee and Beachcomber trying to take Carly and Spike to find Ultra Magnus feels a bit rushed and seems to have pivoted in a new direction before offering any resolutions. The PTSD flashes affecting Optimus ran through a whole volume now after appearing in the last volume, and I’m really hoping we get some actual movement in that thread in the next six issues. Looking forward to picking up my collected TPB instead of the singles soon!

I thought this was the best instalment of the Skybound Transformers series yet! Everyone's so ridiculously overdramatic; no one talks to each other properly; everyone's so broken; and they all desperately need robot therapy.
Some really stunning parts where the page design, art and story just match up so, so perfect ✨
(Also, me main mech Megs is baaaaack!)
Enjoyed this one a lot.

"Autobots...retreat."
July 31, 2025
Sigue sin haber por donde cogerlo. por algún motivo solo hay 5 colores para los robots: gris, rojo, azul, morado, y rosa (solo para las chicas por cierto). Hay como 30 de robots distintos y todos con nombres ultra parecidos.
Otra decisión absurda es que no haya líneas claras. en unos bichos que tienen un millon de líneas que dibujar, han decidido que en vez de líneas rectas y claras, todo sean borrones. Básicamente no me entero de que esta pasando.
Los escenarios otro punto flojo. Todo es naranja o gris, no se diferencia cuando es Cibertron y cuando la tierra, cuando es pasado y cuando presente. Se podría solucionar poniendo el típico cartelito de "La Tierra, ahora" o "Cibertron, antes" pero por algún motivo, deciden no hacerlo. De hecho cuando lo hacen es mal. hay un par de paginas que si son claras en las que claramente están en Cibertron y crean un robot. en la siguiente pagina pone "Cibertron" y aparece el robot que acaban de crear en el momento inmediatamente posterios. He tenido que releer un par de veces porque no estaba seguro de si me había saltado algo, pero simplemente es que le apetecía poner Cibertron ahí por la cara.
Los humanos sobran. Hacen aún menos que en las peliculas, solo están hay para decir cosas como "los decepticon también mataron a mis padres, somos iguales por dentro". Y los autobots quieren salvarlos. Pero solo en este tomo ha habido dos grandes batallas en dos grandes ciudades distintas, donde habrán muerto mínimo cientos de miles de humanos. Por supuesto sin pena ni gloria y a todos los personajes, robots y humanos, les da igual eso.
Otra cosa es el tamaño. Los robots cambian de tamaño arbitramiente todo el rato. En una viñeta un humano es del tamaño de la cabeza de un autobot y en la siguiente el autobot entero es del tamaño de dos humanos.
Y si no le doy una sola estrella es porque poco a poco la historia empieza a cobrar sentido, y de repetir nombres más o menos me voy enterando de quien es bueno y quien malo y porque.

The accelerator is firmly to the floor with this Transformers series, but mercifully this third volume serves up a modicum of world-building and character development. Or, at the very least, we find our why some of these guys are so mean. This volume is really Starscream's main event, which I guess would be cool if I could consistently tell him apart from any of the other angry Decepticons.
In between the brief moments of backstory, the same "robots smash into each other" stories play out, this time including some true kaiju moments in Seattle. The Autobots split up, some searching for "Magnus," some going back to Cybertron, some trying to save Seattle. It's not really clear where the story is going, big picture, but the individual moments are still really fun (and slightly more coherent this time around). I'll be back for more.

Me gusta cómo comienza este tomo, con un par de tramas muy sencillas que retoman el escenario de las secuelas del combate del tomo anterior y explican qué ocurre con los autobots y la formación de la facción de los Combaticons. Con un Jorge Corona apostando por una línea más clara, también más cartoon sin caer en la caricatura. Después llega de nuevo la acción y todo se vuelve más dinámico, con más líneas, más embarullado. En ese momento pido tiempo muerto y busco un dramatis personae de transformers para poder identificar quién es quién sin esperar a que digan sus nombres; porque me sacas de Starscream, Óptimus Prime, Megatron y dos más y ya no sé quién es quién. Lamentablemente en el tebeo no viene y cuesta encontrar uno que se ajuste al diseño que sigue DWJ y, después Corona.
¡Ayuda!
¡Ayuda!

Great action and great art! They really make the transformers so cool in these, everytime one of them pulls a gun it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever seen in my life! Storywise I think this one is just like a SMIDGE weaker than the last 2 volumes but still incredibly fun
Starscream is constantly going through so much and I do really like that he’s become one of the main characters
