There are too many smiles going on in firefights. Other than that, I enjoy the art here.

IDW, on behalf of all fans everywhere, i respectfully ask you to stop reminding us of All Hail Megatron.

Honestly, I still really don't mind that macro-arc.

I don't either since I read it WAAAY after the fact, but I can understand why it's so reviled. It soft-rebooted everyone to more basic personalities, put emphasis on new, not well liked characters, and undid a lot of groundwork that the Ations series had laid.

Yeah, all of that stands true, I agree. But at the same time, a lot of the -ations had, in my opinion, already run their course by that stage. Sure, it would've been nice to not have the storylines shoved into Revelation and Maximum Dinobots, but I feel like the aftermath of AHM is the real bad part of how that really took place.
I'll take AHM over the Costa run any day.
Back on topic though, I am REALLY looking forward to where this storyline is headed, and how they're going to make Optimus' intervention make sense in the grand scheme of things, other than what we've seen in the conversation with Aileron and Victorion.
Also, I wonder where Prowl might fit into any of this, post Sins of the Wreckers. OR maybe... hmmm...

After Prime takes control, Prowl steps out of the shadows, gives him a big hug and whispers "I'm so proud of you."

All hail was alright, but still not my favorite. Chaos Theory is my favorite arc pre-MTMTE/RiD, with the Infiltration arc close behind

I was sooooo relieved to see that. Tracks is my 2nd favourite TF and I was devastated to see him gunned down last issue.

It's like a weird mash-up between Evasion Mode Optimus (the legs in particular) and Legends Class Optmius.

Check out the preview below, via Newsarama (ish), and head back here for a review on Wednesday!

This issue has the potential to get really nasty, but still cool

There goes the helicopter chick from Redemption.
If she is dead but knowing Arcee most likely is a goner.
