Did I really just see Hot Rod mention the Swarm?!
This issue looks really good, I can hardly wait.
My money's still on Roddy as the traitor.

im little confused by this series i thought it was about what would happen if the deceticoins won against the autbots and there would be no one to stop them whats with the autobots all of the sudden?

If it really is the swarm we'll need another Rage in Heaven style teamup to beat it.

Here's hoping we see Galvatron again too, I got pretty fond of him.

Because methink the "A-Team" style panel is on the next page, and is meant to be kept under wraps for the benefit of those few who might not know about it.

This series is about what would happen if there were no Autobots on Earth to fight the Decepticons and if the Decepticons won the war.

Looking at future covers of AHM I think The Swarm is a hoard of Insecticon clones that has probably been deployed to overwhelm and finish Autobot survivors.

Damn, didn't realize this came out today and I was off work with nothing to do. Oh well I'll pick it up this weekend, looks like the story is starting to take shape. Hope we get some back story at some point on how they got Kup back online.
