Out Wednesday May 27, 2009. That is, if BotCon hasn't taken over some of the fans yet...

Might be delayed until tomorrow, however - Memorial Day and all.

Well, for those of us who already read it a week ago from Target, here are my thoughts.


The Nemesis - Is that Starscream's ship that crashed in Reign of Starscream or the ship commanded by Soundwave in Defiance? Or is that the same ship? I'm confused.

Wheelie doesn't look cute at all, sorta horrible.

The Autobot split up, and the new characters we know nothing about.. you goes run off screen until the end of the film!

Alice... in wonderland? I like it. She's not a Pretender as much as a robot that scanned a human looking machine to fit in. Does she have a real name besides Alice? Is she even a she?

Grindor... is that you?

It's Scalpel... hello! and goodbye...

Simmons, where we left him in Veiled Threat.

Is that last page a picture he had?

Oh, man... Megatron goes on television? Seriously?! Even Cobra Commander doesn't do that anymore.

For those who want to compare some scenes from this issue with bits from the trailer, here are come I compiled.



Issue #2 - Sam has a meltdown in school (p3). Sam calls Mikaela, Wheelie tries to break into a safe (p5-6). Sam and friends are captured in their car (p12). Car is sawed in half. Megatron arrives, Sam interrogated by Decepticons (p13). Optimus Prime's fight with the Decepticons (p14-17). Decepticons act up (p19) Sam goes to Simmons for help (p21).
