Wow!
DW have outdone themselves, no small thanks to Furman!
Fantastic issue.
Grimlock is the man!
Dont undertand why Kup and Ironhide arent really old back then but hey cant have everything.
Prime is cool, but liike the title suggests there is inner turmoil we will see more of, plus we are never told his 'real' name prior to being Optimus. Yeah we can assume its Orion Pax but hey!
Lots of familiar faces get the treatment and Megs on the last page is freakin' awesome.

[glow=blue,2,000]Yeah this issue rocks!The art is the best art for TF I think.And the story and dialogue is great.My only compliant is that the comic is only like 22 pages long like most comics today.
Did you see what was written on the wall behind Prime whne he was in Iocon with the Elders?When they told him he is the next Prime?Check it out.
Now does the preview come before the first issue or after?Or does it happen at all?I think its the perfect way to start the series.I wasn't too happy with the way the comic started but the preview starts it off nice.
And I like the fact that Shockwave looks the same.
Yeah,Ironhide and Kup aren't exactly old aren't they?I thought they be the Vets of the war but it seems that everything is starting from that point.But I guess they could still be older then most bots.Now Kup looks different,I think they should of left him the same,cause the new look actually looks like he been upgraded somewhat.But no matter.
I wonder if we will see Ultra Magnus,Hot Rod,Cyclonus,FortMax,Perceptor or even Blaster.
And did you see the TV influence?The "Omega Supreme"Guardian Robots and Wheeljack car from,just like the one in the show.
Now,I have heard of other Prime origins like he was a gladiator and another one were he was at first a medic.I thought I'd see that here but I guess not.Can anyone tell me where those origins came from?
The only little problem I had with the issue was way Hound said."Dance into your grave."Not very Hound like I think.[/glow]

Yeah some of the characters were'nt quite right.
The gladiator thing came from an annual text story the one where megs kilkls the overlord. In that Mergs is the current champ but its says something like Prime was a former champ.
The medic thing came from the comic i think but cant remember exactly where.
Bumblebee had a cartoon ish type form too.
I thought the seeker jet forms (whilst upgraded from the flying pyramids in the cartoon) looked an awful lot like Jetstorms deluxe toy in BM. I see many conversions ahoy with this!
Off to check the writing on the wall now....

Kinda like having Harvey Dent in the first Batman film! I like tie ins, makes continuity soooo much cooler.

[glow=red,2,000]Well, its over now. And I want to chat about it but I also don't want to give away anything that would spoil it for anyone else.
Hmm, just had a thought. Who can't get it? I'll see if I can dig up any back issues and maybe I can send it off to you UKers?[/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]It was a good story run to kick off there whole saga.Im glad I bought doubles of each cover! I guess there is a fine line between good and evil but I personally would have killed Megs. And then there Grimlock!Man he can be called the first real RENEGADE AUTOBOT!He reminds me of HeavyAssault all the way............[/glow]

[glow=blue,2,000]Heavy Assault = Grimlock. all the way with you on that one buddy. But your abit smarter. And he's a tank as well! Abit odd looking but a tank no less. I liked how it had that show influenece in it too. Wheeljack's car mode, Kups' quote, Omega Sentinals...And of course all the suttle things thrown into the background.[glow]

[glow=red,2,300]Its a shame it had to end. "But as they say all good thing must come to a end." I found it funy when Kup and damn cant remember who was under attack and Kup was about to go into on of his stories.But damn how old was Kup back then?He had no bags under his eyes.[/glow]
