There is a danger in criticizing these works, mainly due to the fact that the artist and writers are really within arms length. The things we say, and would probably just unleash upon IDW or DW are going to be tempered somewhat. Afterall, we don't want to discourage what is essentially, awesome work.
This however latest work either fails to imply a real sense of brotherhood, or means to imply some kind of intimate/lover relationship. The first being an unfortunate aspect of a one page limit, the second being an unwelcome unnecessary extension of a certain group of fans.
I dislike what this comic implies just like I did not like how the Counterpunch comic entirely removed Punch's responsibility for his actions.
I think extending story is good, filling in time gaps is good, but fundamental stuff of characters should be left alone.
It might have been better to show Thundercracker thinking of leaving the Decepticons only to be brought back in through something inspiring or dreadful that Megatron did.
This however, 'Too far' indeed.
