"I will destroy all in my path. I would crush ultra Magnus and rip The matrix from his chest and shatter it!
A new day is dawning...a day when every Autobot will be hunted and slain...a day went all of earth will fall into the hands of Galvatron--and the decepticons!"

Very good

A really good series so far. Transformer books never let me down. Can't wait for more! Bring on the fun goodness!

a little disappointed

I didn't expect an adaptation to be identical, but it left out some major parts.
The art wasn't my style... not bad, just not the best I've seen.
