Cobra-La, indeed.

This title does action really, really well. My main complaint is that there are so many stories happening within that we are bouncing around so much and do not get time to really invest in characters. Spike and Carly have so little time it is as if they are non-existent. The scientist and army general have no development. Elita Prime, where you at? There are a lot of good ideas here but we don't touch on them. We always get a big zinger at the end but I would like to see a more focused story telling.

Im enjoying it, but it feels miles away from what Daniel Warren Johnson was making in the early issues. But its fun in a shared gi joe universe sorta way I suppose.

This book delivered a solid issue when it counted, as after several disappointing issues I was about to drop if this had let me down. Thankfully there's a coherent plot and not too much jumping around, left right and centre.
The art is really good "transformers" style and enjoyable except for a confusing fight scene where an attempt to portray an action scene made it look like there were three transformers when there were only two fighting. I think when dealing with aerialbots and the "starscream style" jet robots it's best to be clear as they all look very similar.
This might sound damning but this book is starting to feel like a soap opera in the sense it's a disposable read but entertaining depending on which cast members it chooses to focus on.
Overall impression = 3/5
Writing = 3/5
Art = 4/5
Will I read the next issue? yes
Wait for the trade collection? Not really this works fine as a monthly book. I imagine it would possibly read more evenly in trade but something about this series doesn't feel like something I'd want to read again or have on my bookshelf.
Did I need to read previous issues/series? it would help to know why there was a dying autobot and that was covered in the previous issue.
Will I read previous issues it's written like the walking dead/soap opera in the sense you don't really need to read older stories as it's forever moving forward.

Too many storylines, yet I really liked some of the subplots here.
I enjoyed this series earlier, but this whole broad Energon universe business imagines that we loved every one of these IPs and shoehorns them in this shallow mess.
I was a Transformers, He-Man, Turtles kid. I couldn’t care less about GI Joe/Cobra or MASK which I suppose will show up eventually.
After 35 issues, I’m gonna get off at this stop.

Brother vs brother is always a fun showdown. Not sure how threatening these little insects are going to be. Some panels are confusing at times when there is action, like perspective is off or not a clear idea of who is who.

Really enjoying the Thundercracker relationships drama

Really interesting characterization of Wheeljack and while a bit melodramatic, the battle between Thundercracker & Skywarp feels very kinetic and fun.
