Actual rating 4 and a half stars.
Person review: as of now, this is my favorite issue in this series. I don't like action much, but I liked the action in this one and how cool a lot of the shots looked (even with the muddiness of the characters). Despite the muddiness, I'll give it to the artist: he's really good at aura farming moments.
____________________________
-Like I always say: the backgrounds in this comic are always so pretty. I love the way Iacon looks here, but what makes it so melancholic is the fact that you can literally see Nyon burning in the background
-The other senators are trying to tell Zeta that what he's doing is awful, but he's not listening. He lies to them and says that Orion is dead. The building then goes under attack and Zeta calls for Ultra Magnus :000
-The Autobots and Decepticons are taking out the Vampiric weapons. Orion Pax and Megatron jump put of Astrotrain together in an admittedly cool shotb (I'm easy to entertain 😔. Also the playlist im listening to for this had the perfect battle song come on as I was reading this)
-Zeta Prime: "You could have stood at my side as masters of this world. Now, you'll die at my hands, remembered only as terrorists." Megatron: "Liberators."
-Zeta takes out Megatron first. Orion takes apart some of the weapon and attacks Zeta. Zeta grips Pax by the skull (what would the Cybertronian equivalent of a skull be? I guess helm, since they don't have bones. Omg, does their plating count as an exoskeleton???) and is about to crush him, but we cut to the Autobots and Decepticons before we can see what happens
-Ultra Magnus and his squad walk in. He tells Ironhide that he never thought he'd see the day where the Autobots would work with the Decepticons. Ironhide asks if he's really going to stand with a monster like Zeta and, surprisingly but also not surprisingly, Ultra Magnus agrees that it's time that Zeta be brought down. (He also says that he wants to have a talk with Ironhide's choice in allies, lol)
-Omg, old man Kup. He tells Ironhide that "Us old-timers gotta stick together." They've been calling Ironhide "old-timer" this entire comic, though I guess that didn't really register to me. How old is Ironhide? My voice claim for him was like a gruff American Southerner, so I guess spiritually I knew he was old, but that still doesn't answer anything
-Back inside the Citadel: Megatron is beating up Zeta for hurting Pax (75% bcuz he needs Orion for his goals and 25% because they are gay for each other). Zeta gets the upper hand and tells Megatron that his reign of terror is over. Megatron then proceeds to blow his head clean off in ANOTHER moment of this comic which makes me go, "If they weren't robots, this would be rated R." The last shot of this scene is him standing above an injured Orion and a dead Zeta Prime. The calming down shots are always the coolest, imo
-Back at the battle front: I love the Shockwave is considered as "their heavy guns." Reminds me of TFP where Shockwave was considered "tactical advmatage." This mech is SCARY
-Pax recovers and tells Ironhide to tell Ratchet to send in gis engineering crew. Megatron says that that won't be nesecary, and then he PUSHES PAX OFF THE ROOF AND INTO A DARK PIT, saying that him and his Autobots have served their purpose
-Ending shot is of Megatron standing in front of the Autobot logo's optics. The paint falling makes it seem as if the logo is crying. This is one of my favorite shots in this issue.
