Great ending quote. Couldn't be more true.

It seems like a 'Con problem... why do they need to get an Autobot medic to find out what the problem is? Was First Aid a hostage? This all seems to have a weird motivation, even if the resulting moral dilemma does fit First Aid's character.

The artwork is great though!

Since when do Decepticons actually have medics, aside from Kiss Players Glit?

I feel sorry for First Aid, really. Moral codes are a fickle thing.

That is fantastic. I want Rui on IDW's payroll...now!

The story is also well done. The moral dilemma is quite compelling.

In my defense, as soon as I read this I went on to TFWiki and the "GO!" button led directly to the JaAm article. The coincidence was awesome.

Thanks for all of the kind comments. And my thanks to Rui, Josh and Dave for bring this to life, wonderfully as always.

I would say if you want to see more work from us, professionally on Transformers, let IDW know here: letters@idwpublishing.com
