This book is bad and boring stay away from it. The art is passable at times and others it's just bad. It's hard to discern who is who or what is even happening at times. Most of the stories are quite simple and nothing happens in them. The Fallen and Jetfire provided some back history but it was pretty minimal. My favorite story was about Ravage it was straight action and it was fun.

This comic was a major snooze fest. It didn't have much going for it, being a prequel of arguably the worst movie of the franchise, but also centered on the film's forgettable characters. I have been on movie tie-in kicks from time to time and generally they enhance the films, but this one was not very good.

Some hits and some misses. The last two issues were my favorite. I'm glad Arcee gets more time to shine than she did in the films.
