On Cybertron, Blaster and the Autobot resistance must break the hold of current Decepticon overlord, Straxus. But Straxus's megalomania cannot be contained by a few billion light years of space... and Earth is squarely in his sights

[Jdetrick · Rating 3 out of 5]

Boy, is this a mixed bad. It begins with an issue that really isn't even a Transformers issue; it only has one Transformer in it, and even that one is a plot point more than a character. One of the complaints writers have about writing these comics based on toys is that new characters are always being created to be introduced, and its hard to fit them all in the comic, which makes it especially galling to see an issue given over entirely to human characters (and unimportant human characters at that). These issues also see the first appearance of Robot-Master,a concept which really doesn't work. At the same time, the final two issues, which return us to Cybertron, are pretty good, and make up for some of what came before them in this trade.
