Anyway, I'm really, REALLY not feeling the art in this. It's a massive distraction and feels very much like a kiddie-styled book handed out at a lesser convention, they even have characters' heads getting way bigger when they're yelling, and a walking panel that looks like it was ripped straight from the 1950s Mickey Mouse books. It's distracting.
The story is convoluted and more of the same, machinations and manipulations by Starscream, parries by Windblade, diplomacy being the high stakes, and a total lack of action or even a sense of movement. We meet Knock Out and Moonracer, delegates from Velocitron, which is a one-note planet about racing, and Knock Out is a plastic surgeon who has no time for slow people despite being in a relationship with one back home (apparently it's Breakdown from TF Prime, because 'shipping reigns supreme with the fans they're going after) while Moonracer wants to move forward as a society but can't officially reach out. All in all, this felt like half an issue's worth of already-decompressed story stretched thin, although there was at least the hint of some sociopolitical interplay on Cybertron and the colonies at work.
