- Weapon: Reciprocating Laser Cannon
I've read the issue, and:
Well, Roches art is awesome, and it may be the only reason for anybody to buy this comic. Although, the new Megatron is a bit too much Animated-ish in his style.
As for the writing: it is a joke.
The decepticons seem to be a bunch of clowns, starting with Acidstorms "What should we do, what should we do?" panicking, and if the cerebro-shells should work on anybodys command, shouldn't have Starscream been able to stop Razorclaw?
Also, Costa clearly didn't see the Mythbusters episode where if was busted that guns don't cause people to fly backwards, but Rodi becomes a comet just after one shot from Megatron (with Megatron clearly shooting through him(and shooting a hole in the wall that was smaller than Rodimus; how did he fly out like that, anyway?)) - it would have been clear if Megatron actually would have thrown him out of the window like trash, but this was just ridiculous.
Another issue: it looks like fridges are made for easy opening from the inside in Cybertron - you know, you have a meter-long wall made out of fantasium, that nobody can open from the outside, but just a kick from inside can easily open it.
I see there was a base story in this issue that could have been good in a capable writers hands. Hot Rod busting in the Decepticon base, stealing the matrix, but getting killed after it - simple idea, and could have worked, but Costa is an impotent writer. Talentless characterization (decepticons are on the 80s GIJoe cartoon villains' level) and stolen gags...
So, overall: 3/10 (because of the art; 1/10 on the story)
