Out Wednesday March 4, 2009.

And thus we see the first beginnings of the movie-verse Great War...and just why the Movie-verse 'Cons should be respected.

Also, Big Daddy has a brief cameo, along with movie-verse Prowl...they seriously need to hurry up and have him in a movie so we can finally have a toy for him!

Anyone else catch a couple Seekers that might've been Skywarp or Sunstorm in the backgrounds?

My LCS didn't get it.

I should have asked but I'm guessing they're a week off now since Max Dinobots #3 and Alliance #3 came out a week late.

A full cast list and synopsis would be appreciated. Thanks!

Just got it. We get to see cybertronian alt modes for Blackout, Prowl and Jazz, I believe, and they cameo nearly all the toy line in group shots, but it's hard to tell who is who.

Basically Megatron orders all the Cybertronian to fall into line and attack the aliens who attacked them, Optimus doesn't think they should do it. People side with each leader. Megatron leads the flying warrior Cybertronians against the alien fleet as Optimus starts to worry he's gone over the deep end.

Although I enjoyed Reign of Starscream, neither Alliance or Defiance is doing anything for me (although Defiance is the better of the two IMO).

Gonna stop picking these up.

Anyone else catch that Megatron only gets his "new" (as in the one actually seen in the 2007 movie) head after the Fallen does the mind-zap thing? I thought that was a neat touch. I guess it also means that my Legends Movie Megatron is also now Defiance #1/pre-evil Lord High Protector Megatron. Which I find cool.

so basically, before the mind-zap, this is saying that Megatron wasn't evil, just a big jerk?

Basically.

Which IMO is kinda a copout that I hope the new movie doesn't use and/or acknowledge.

Yeah, I was kind of hoping Megatron just willingly joined the Fallen for more power.

Of course it could be considered an upgrade. If He's working for the fallen he needs to wear his symbol on his head crest.
