I hated it in Chaos but I think it really fits this story well. A pre-War (barely) Cybertron that's so corrupt that it's literally rusting away the old system seems to fit it well.

That said: I am really enjoying Autocracy! I thought I was going to read the first couple and drop it but it's really worth it. I can't wait for the trade!

I have really been enjoying this series. Fun characterization, cool cameos and roles and a badass Prime that could be considered evil. While I don't love Livio's art, he's making this look really cool.

Can't wait!

I must admit, I didn't like it at first in Chaos, but it has really grown on me for Autocracy.

With this being a 'prequel' style comic the art gives it an almost dream like quality, almost as if you are remembering what happened centuries ago which, in this case, you are.

Ill admit the robot designs are a bit hit and miss, Soundwave looks great whereas Ironhide looks a bit rubbish, but I think the backgrounds, effects and scenery make up for it.
