This. I'm doing the same thing.
These two series are going to be the first time in years that a TF ongoing(s) was being offered that I waited for the trade.


Oh no, that has nothing to do with me thinking this will be worse than the previous ongoing. Quite the contrary. It's just that it's far too late for me to order the single editions through my comic store and, well the tpb will be cheaper and easier to keep.

Read it this weekend. I enjoyed it. I feel like, if you're digging X-Men: Regenesis, this is the type of thing you should give a shot.

I like that they went with kind of a quirky cast, for this one. Obviously, Rodimus and Ultra Magnus are bigger name guys (and Drift, to an extent), but they went obscure for characters like Outback and Rewind. I'm also intrigued to see what's happening with Cyclonus and Whirl (who, apparently, is totally crazy). Oh, and Rewind and Swindle, too. Ultra Magnus' "evaluations" of Rodimus and Drift made me laugh out loud. Nice touch.

So, Prowl is pretty much a murderer? Wow. I know he's a jerk, but that was messed up.

This was a really meaty book. Lots of stuff going on, lots of setup... Really interested to try Robots in Disguise #1, now.

Wait, Outback is in this?
But how? He's just a corpse on that crystal planet Kup was stranded on.

I don't remember Outback. Swerve and Tailgate were the two featured minibots.

Yeah, Outback is not in this. I think he meant Swerve.

Ah, OK. Was kinda worried about Nick Roche forgetting the stuff he wrote for a moment there. :P

I was thinking about buying the e-comic edition, but realised I would have to sign up for a new account again. And frankly, I've gotten to the point where I just can't be bothered with going through all that again.
this is so cruel, the more I read about this, the more I desperately want to read it. But I have to remind myself, just six more months...

I was quite surprised with how much I enjoyed this. I an on the fence regarding the art. Not my stye, but interesting enough and did not distract too badly from the story. Not sure about Prowl's actions being "in-character", but I will hold judgement until I know more.
