Given the Hutchinson covers so far, I would assume that #10 features the Megatron/Starscream showdown (and possibly something about the Matrix), #11 has the Autobots returning to Earth, and #12 will be a Megatron/Prime showdown.

Also created Gyro-Inhibtor shells, that were used against the Sunstreaker clones, at which point Hot Rod says he's constantly inventing bits of tech and new weapons. |

I know I shouldn't put faith into CODA saving the series for me but I'm going to look forward to it regardless until we find out what it does. |

I think the series is finally starting to realize its potential, which is a good thing, but this issue still proves that McCarthy just can't keep that many balls in the air. Last issue we had Starscream scheming with the Insecticons, a mysterious figure he's also conspiring with, and the excellent reveal of Hunter O'Nion. This issue, that plot thread just stagnates, while the humans who were absent for several issues are picked back up. In both cases, the humans and Hunter, we just don't get the sense of urgency we need to care, because the pattern is that McCarthy always leaves at least one plot element to stagnate per issue.

QUOTE(Bass X0 @ Mar 28 2009, 03:36 PM) Shane still doesn't know how to pace a story well. A good writer doesn't drop bombshells at the end of an issue and then ignores them for a few issues. I wanted to find out more about the Starscream and his mystery guest as well as more of what Megatron's plans are. Everything just seems so disjointed. This is entirely on par with the course for 2000s super-duper-doomsday crisis event comics, though... --------------------  |

I'm perhaps spoiled by Furman, who has shown us quite handily that he's capable of keeping three or four plot threads in the air with their own proper pacing.

Spoiled nothing. This is how stories should be written, period. We haven't been "spoiled" by Furman, we've just been neglected by almost everyone else in this industry. -------------------- QUOTE You're far too young to be this bitter and angry at the world.... |

Dare I ask what the hell was up with Sideswipe this issue?
That speech was the worst thing i've read in a recent TF comic (and that includes the guilty pleasure of Furmanisms) It was just Ugh, for a whole page. hug. --------------------  |

Looking at the Prime-Ironhide dialogue in the AHM #10 preview, there's definitely the possibility that something strange is up with Prime (notably all the past tense they seem to be using). Or it could just be bad writing covered up by non-specificness. Dun dun dun...
