[Nicolo · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was an irresistible purchase, a seldom sighted Transformers hardcover graphic novel by Simon Furman at the height of his powers as a scribe chronicling the adventures of Hasbro's transforming robots.

I think the Marvel Transformers comics went out on a high note with these issues and I wish we could have seen more. Great stuff.

The art was VERY hit and miss (drooling Megatron looks dumb), and the narrative was mostly about Optimus Prime, with almost everyone else falling into the background. It works well enough, if a bit rushed at the end. Regeneration One has its problems, but with better art and a poignant ending, it works slightly better.
