We’ll have to read it to find out, but from our beginning two issues we can see that Galvatron has taken a very introspective look at himself, and his new relationship to the universe.

Transformers More Than Meets The Eye Issue #1 Review

Posted January 20th, 2012 at 12:45am by GetRightRobot - 0 views

I would like to start this review by addressing the artwork. Nick Roche and Josh Burcham have a wonderful and dynamic style.

A more animated styled Rodimus and War for Cybertron Bumblebee look better together than I would have envisioned. With that being said: I have recently had - Read More
