 It's the return of everyone's favourite minivan, but being trapped in limbo for two years has changed him. And I don't just mean his face.
Also, there's massive swords and bored holes aplenty as the question of Transformers gender is finally addressed as Cloudurst pulls. It's all in my look at ISSUE 219.

 There are many themes that run throughout Transformers regardless of the author, so it's hardly surprising that in the new format we'd get two stories that touch upon the same ideas.
But who'd have thought that idea would be cannibalism? It's a boggle eyed day for Landmine and Starscream is the garnish on the meal that is my look at ISSUE 218!  Is a fifth week of Mechannibals a RECIPE FOR DISASTER?
Not when they have such magnetic personalities! All this, plus instead of an exciting action scene in Race With the Devil, we get a description of an exciting action scene. It's all in my look at ISSUE 217!  It a week of surprises. First for Berko who discoveres there's no such thing as real 20 foot humans.
Then it's the turn of Susan Hoffman to be startled as it turns out giant monsters are actually real. Something she could never have guessed from her prior experiences. Luckily she's got some REAL good help (or three quarters of it anyway). It's all in my look at ISSUE 216!  No, your eyes do not deceive you, the comic has suddenly gone very monochrome. Luckily the drastic revamp is carefully introduced by... Transformation telling us to watch Visionaries on the telly.
Luckily we do get a free lunch, and people who love exploding energon cubes will find it their favourite issue ever. All in my look at issue 215!  This week, Cloudburst and Landmine find out what happens to former comedy human guest stars. They hit the bottle hard. Plus the amazing Mr Master Mouth.
Over in the other strip, Megatron has a drastic epiphany that will totally inform his character for the rest of the book's run and not be ignored almost immediately. Plus the début of the amazing Quake! Elsewhere, the book carefully prepares readers for the shift to black and white. It's all in my look at ISSUE 214.  As the book teeters on the edge of cancellation it takes the first of several drastic steps to save itself. With very mixed results.
Yes, it's our first three strip issue and on the one hand you have Cloudburst and Landmine being quite dull, whilst on the other Megatron is pure awesome. And on the third on Visionaries actually appear this week. It's lucky Octus has so many hands. It's all in my look at issue 213! Plus, are you Euan Peters?  This week, it's the final end for the two strip format (for now), as I ask:
Where did Snarler and Carnivac actually come from? How is Cliff only vaguely aware of giant killer robots from outer space invading America? Has Dreadwid actually given up reading the book? All this and exciting new for the future in my look at The Man in the Machine Part 2!  And Uncle Bob is still here. So he writes a story about a guy desperate to get away from Transformers. What can it mean?
Yes, this week it's the last time we see the Witwicky's, the first time we see Snarler and the only time we meet Cliff. Don't go off the slopes in my look at: The Man in the Machine! Part 1.  Happy new year!
I'm not feeling great, so will the adventures of Skullgrin the film star cheer me up? Sadly it turns out he's barely in it, meaning it's down to Sky Lynx to save the day. Once again. It's all in my look at Monstercon From Mars! Part 1. |
