No story or plot to speak of, just a jumble of characters spitting out jumbles of words.
To top it off you cannot tell where characters end and backgrounds begin, you have to guess who is meant to be who and the colours vary from drab grey to drab brown.
Agreed on all points, but the art isn't all that bad. It's just that the panels are all too cramped together, and many Micro's don't have back kibble. That's a pretty major point considering that's one of the few ways to tell Micro's apart. I do applaud Dreamwave for trying to flesh out that part of the G1 Universe, but the results really are less than spectacular.

Mirage:Spotlight
I think I agree here too. A completely wasted Spotlight. Generic story, "evil" interpretation of a character who was making his first appearance in the IDWverse, and it does absolutely nothing to advance anything we knew about the Universe in the first place. The art however, is good.
Marvel U.S.'s Transformer/G.I. Joe Crossover. I'm surprised it hasn't been brought up. Let's see:
Dumb plot. The Deceps/Cobra try to steal some new fangled satelite. Booooring.
Poor art. Ok, I know some of Transformers art wasn't the greatest(mostly due to coloring), but this is just the worst of the bunch.
Tied to closely to continuity, and appearing/disapearing characters. Try reading this thing by itself without having any knowledge of what was going on in either comic at the time. The first issue is a not-so subtle advert for Superion basically, who disapears right after the second issue starts. Prime, Cobra Commander, and Megatron all appear in the first issue, and by the second Prime and CC are gone(Prime died, CC disapeared), and Megatron's depressed. Third issue, Megs is gone and replaced by Shockwave. Talk about confusing. Plus Dirge dies for no real reason.
There are other flaws, but I think that just about sums up everything.
At least Avengers/Transformers is somewhat coherent.
