...Twice in same month, we see a character with the same name show up to be killed off <<

Hmm, coincidence, or more?

I'll be picking this on up!

Despite the name. Shouldn't it be an Aerial-con not bot then?

It's not an Aerialbot. It kinda went "Skydive died." "What, the Aerialbot?" "No, the other one."

Great preview. I'm glad to see Dirge get some play. Unlike Thrust who shows up in a panel and died offscreen in AHM(IIRC). And Prowl is a bastard! Cool

Best line in Transformers for some time. Beautiful piece of characterisation, retconning and a finger to the previous regime...

"John was also brave enough to seemingly (****) (***) a few mid-card players in order to elevate the stakes. The treatment of one of these characters is interesting, given the importance given to this character in a previous incarnation from another publisher."

So does (****) (***) = KILL OFF...?

Kill off Sunstorm???

They giveth and thy taketh away.... Sad

Okay, having secured a comic from a familiar source, I don't want to post silvers, but, um, wow

I'm a bit conflicted in reading this and getting the significance of the above message, I'll likely come back and comment again once a few other folks have read

But:

1: Were those ROCK LORDS?

2: I look at my own leg cast then chuckle at Cybertronian medical care shown

3: Is it REALLy a spoiler if it says it on the 'next time' section of the comic?

And I guess, one last thing in my head while I have it, I don't think I've felt this bad for the Decepticons in a long while, like, Snare from LSotW long while <_<

I shall return later on a break!

Wow these guys are dropping like flies. Disappointed in the deaths myself.

Okay, 10am, LCS all over are open, time enough that my words aren't spoilers...

The thing is, I loved how they got around that in Chaos, I was even hoping we would see perhaps one of the Faux Constructicons like Steamhammer being recruited to take the spot, Scramble City style

Seeing ALL of them bite the dust... Is there even any way to bring them back? I doubt the head exploding seen here can be survivable, Bombshell I'm unsure, killed or just incapacitated like Soundwave was in Revenge of the Decepticons?

And, well, poor Sunstorm to boot

Even poorer Dirge, all of this happening to him

Prowl was always rough cut, but I'm wondering if this is all painting him up ready for a villain to be now

It's a good issue for action, it's the consequences of the actions I'm wondering about

Although it certainly works if I'll be buying next issue to read more, especially the last spoiler I won't say unless someone else says before me, lol

Double bluff with the I/D chips? Interesting.

Glad the Constructicons are gone - they're too numerous to be properly characterised, so they're dead weight in terms of dialogue space. Their presence also severely restrains the plot as there has to inevitably be an annoying moment where they merge for the sake of it. Been there, done that. Once you've seen Devastator smash something, you don't really need to see it again.

Great issue. Loved Prowl's angry streak. Good stuff.
