Ok, story was half told. It is going somewhere, understand that, but really, this much of a story could have been told in an ashcan. But my real problem... WTF is up with the artwork! It looks like it was drawn in MS PAINT. The lines are all pixelated, there is practically NO inking, and pencils are barely above par to begin with. Really wish this issue had never happened. Guess part of it might be production. Both Pencils and Ink are credited to Mo Bright, and I've not heard the name before. Maybe someone can fill me in, is he always this bad?

hey,js...you are giving this story too much credit;the closest thing to explanation i can come up with is he has been converted into a headmaster without his consent......and the art a-sucks

yup thats about the sum total of it.

i just hope the other 3 are better than this(hot rod,ultra magnus,six shot).shockwave's was actually pretty good.

From the artwork sneak peaks, UMs is going to be awesome. I like the artist they have for Sixshot as well. Haven't looked too much into the Hotrod guy yet though. And haven't checked into any of the writing staff.

seen the preview for hot rod,yet?not too bad,with some nice cameos.soundwave's oneshot could definitely be interesting

I have suspicions that the spotlight series will be needed to understand the upcoming escalation series since if you've read the previews there's a reference to the shockwave one. Just a thought.

yeah i had read that in about that stormbringer too.bludgeon's research on shockwave's regenesis project is mentioned and prompt optimus to come to earth

I'm not impressed with the artwork in Nightbeat's story at all. Sometimes sketchy works, but the actual draughtsmanship still needs to be there. This guy's faces (which, if we're honest, is what brings most character to a character) looked like they were sculpted out of mashed potato.

Shockwave and Hot Rod are pretty cool though. I'm looking forward to Sixshot; he's a character who deserves some spotlight.
