I finally read the issue, and agree there isn't a great deal happening. it's not a bad issue, it's just not addressing any of the points of interest the previous issues have come up with and thus feels lackluster.

There are all sorts of interesting questions waiting to be answered, such as what happened to earth? what became of some of the Nucleon revived Autobots, where is Bludgeon hiding out etc, but no real movement this issue.

I did kind of like the idea of the Lazarus project, its kind of picking up on an obscure plot point of what became of the Headmasters original heads, though why aliens would name their project after a figure from an Earth bible story is beyond me.

It also seems like Scorponok could be back (in some form), hmm I hope Furman's just not going to bring everyone back or this is just going to get silly. In that regard I didn't actually mind the zombie cons as it allowed us to see some old cameos without the full "Lazarus treatment".

I guess we should be thankfull Furman wrote an issue for Dinobot month without letting Grimlock steal the whole show.
