I liked that the Transformer that pretends to be a human lady came back. But that's pretty much the only connection to the movies. The animal Transformers are cool too but this plot was pretty convoluted and uninteresting to me. It feels like some half baked unrelated ideas were forced into this movie tie-in when the author wanted to tell this story in a different way.

Very good

Excellent story not the kiddy crap tale only intended to sell toys this is the kind of Transformers that's of interest to me. I only wish the recent movies were held to higher standards they may be great visually but often are geared to teenagers [again to sell toys] though I prefer the Cybertron designs to the Earth version. I hope more mature stories are coming soon.

Not bad. I haven't read a lot of Transformers titles so perhaps I'm not familiar enough to appreciate the story line but I have not really been impressed with what I've read. This was not different. But the illustration is good and the action is fun.

not bad, a comic book with action and stuff, story was deep but not well explained. art was nice but the transofrmers is all about motion, hard to capture the motion in pictures and make them clear. i bought it for a dollar, so it was worth it.
