[Alexander Draganov · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fusion започва малко мудно, предвид факта, че втората книга сякаш завършваше основната история, но авторите не загубиха време да подредят шахматната дъска за една последна партия и резултатът беше вихрен. Откъм втората си третина книгата върви динамично, напрегнато и с постоянни обрати, а третата вече е нон-стоп хеви метъл екшън с уникални битки. Каквито и ефекти да имат филмите, колкото и добре да е нарисувана една анимация, словото си остава най-голямата сила и затова съм във възторг, че “Трансформърс” имат такива яки книги, особено финалния том Fusion. Характерите на всички са хванати отлично и всеки от персонажите получава златен момент – за Оптимус и Бъмбълби на героизъм, за Мегатрон и Старскрийм на коварство, за Спайк Уитуики с напомняне защо той е оригиналния и най-готин човешки персонаж в поредицата.

3.5 Stars

This final volume was my favorite of the trilogy. We do get a nice resolution, and it didn't feel too drawn out. Overall I still thought this series was a little too "continuity heavy" for me to enjoy, as it dealt with the specific Transformer continuity from the Dreamwave comic series, which I think is possibly the most obscure of the Transformer series.

Overall the trilogy was a decent read, but to me always seemed just a little "off."

The final book in a 3-book series. The second in the story arc ended with the Keepers trapped in a pocket dimension called the Void (where they were seemingly incapacitated) and Megatron asking to be named Prime by Optimus Prime. Optimus refuses to name Megatron as Prime (claiming only the council can choose a new prime) but does hand over the Matrix. Predictably the Keepers are not out of the picture as they have minions on Earth. As the Keepers' henchmen create a means for the Keepers' return the US faces off against the Decepticons and, in a double-cross, the Autobots. Eventually, some Autobots die and some Decepticons die, tons of humans die, the Keepers die and the book ends.

After an extending storyline from the second book of the trilogy, I was pleased with how the series concluded. The friendship of Spike and Bumblebee were just as important as in the cartoon, Optimus Prime's sacrificial feelings, Starscream's power grabs...everything that made the cartoon series good was presented in a novel written for those kids that were now adults!

Yes, these are most definitely fluff, and I was amazed at the number of errors in typography and grammar. Still... they're a fun read. Besides, I read them before sending them on to my boyfriend in Iraq, who's a HUGE Transformers fan. :)
