Probably because they actually featured *toys* this issue, even if it wasn't anything new... it was still an effort to have toys covered in a Transformers (that exists as a toyline first and foremost) fan magazine.Overall better than the last issue, but only just. Probably because there is no word seach this time...
Actually, what I'd love to see is more "vault" info and pics, that we know was left out of the Vault book. Now that would be an exclusive worth signing up for.
I agree that the comic felt very rushed, and awkward in some spots.
