Actually, I'd say getting Verity and Mr O'Nion ("The Be Sharps!") killed should be the Autobots' main goal for now. Or at least threatening the little Aleph knock-off until she stops dressing like she's 8.

Incidentally, I really like that we're getting flashes of background and that Furman hasn't simply written off character origins as a convenience to get some tag-along faces and a human angle.

But yeah... yay for fiction with 'real' stakes.

It'd help if the preview images were a bit larger for the text, mind...

Especially as they seem to be fairly high resolution... took a bit to load, anyway.

I'll agree with you on this when I see at least one of these humans smoldering corpses under a Decepticon rifle.

Then we can talk "real stakes".

I actually have a slight premonition Jimmy's going to bite a rockfall at some point (we've already seen the petrified corpse of the salesman, who we'll hopefully get some background on along with the mysterious corporation, so the story isn't avoiding casualties. Purely on the chase alone there would have been dozens.)

Has anyone else noticed that Starscream has been redesigned ? Earlier artwork of issue #4's cover had him with different panels under the intake pecs and wacky-kooky stablizers coming off the tops of his feet (now they are normal). The pose was also far less dynamic.

Come to think of it, even THAT version was a re-redesign.

Me? I like the issue #0 look better...

The original #4 cover was partway through transforming (as seen on the handheld computer) but I do like the new colours and slightly different chest/kneecap detail -- reminds me of the preening look Starscream had in TF:TM with the cape.

I think that's the design scheme for the Energon Starscream.

The text is also a mighty bit small for reading.

"Crikey, it's a giant robot. I need to have some medication and a bit of a lie down."

Liar, he'd have said it's because he wants to shag his mum. He always said that. Do you know why? Because Freud was the world's first talking action figure, and they only had the tech for one voice sample. There, now we all know the truth.

A somewhat OTT reaction to just being shown a page of art froma comic book. Especialy as being draged through time by Keanue Reeves and Alex Winters didn't phase him much.

Benign translations are your specialty?

Nah- He actually has Freud locked up in his closet- Denyer's not as smart as he appears, he just asks the good Doctor what to write in every post.
