SPOILER! (select to read)
A very bold move, I would say, having such a direct connection between Galvatron, Wheelie, and Apeface like that.

And making Wheeljack's new mode an ice cream truck... I don't know... but hey, I trust IDW. I'll see it before passing judgement.

I only read enough to get a general synopsis of the issue, but I found this bit of the review a touch amusing:

SPOILER! (select to read)
Hanging in a fluid-filled stasis pod, Starscream looks bereft of menace, in stark contrast to Ravage, who seemed to be menace incarnate.
I thought this was a rather harsh, if not bizarre, criticism. Honestly, how menacing is an unconscious character floating in a jar of preservatives supposed to be anyway? And besides, it's Starscream for **** sakes! A **** disturber, oh yes, absolutely, but was hardly menacing to begin with.

Devastation issues 1 and 2 - reminiscent of Lockerbie air disaster?!
