Wow, that was an interesting issue.
Loved the mix of characters and I reallyenjoy the Roberts take on Prowl who has been one of the IDW standouts in recent months (much like Ratchet was in the Furmanverse) and hope that the creative team for RiD continue down the same path.
The hints of the "don'ts" are intriguing, they were nice and vague and sent by an unknown. I am in agreeance that Prowl received the datatrack before blast off and told no-one from spite.
Something that Roberts has done exceptionally well in his issues (and that Roche's art compliments well) is give character to the bots ands cons in his stories even if they only have a handful of lines. Rewind and Tailpipe are new characters to all and sundry (in this universe) and we already have a decent insight to their character, same goes for Whirl and Cyclonus who should make for a great combo team. And love to see Red Alert get some screen time, he and Magnus should be fun to read.
Very good start to the series, beautifully done covers (I went for Ratchet, but wouldve been happy with any, bar the Drift one) that really caught the eye with the silver title and excellent paper and print quality. If the level of quality can be retained this will be a better run than anything IDW has done (bar LSotW).
Looking For: Wreckers Saga TPB Collection (with Requiem)
