Comic Review: Transformers Spotlights (2012 - 2013)

Spotlight Trailcutter preview.

This is the light hearted issue for MtMtE I think we need. From the preview it is awhile bag of laughs, cutting off just before the meaty stuff begins. Some funny gags in this one.

Seems like it is continuing the trend of recent spotlights to almost have 2 main protagonists, Whirl gets more lines than Trailbreaker in the preview pages.

Not sure how it ties into the other 3 and their relationship with Metroplex and the Titans. However that hook on one of the covers sure does make me think we are going to get a MtMtE version of Lockdown!

I read the reviews on Bad Haven and other places and I'm pumped for this one. The humour with Whirl is fantastic, he's very awesome. (SPOILERS) I know from a review there are links to the Metrotitan's in there and a link to Spotlight: Hoist apparently.

For some reason phantomzone parramatta said this weeks shipment will only be in on Friday, so you may want to ring your local beforehand if you make special trips in to your local store. Guessing the public holidays may have something to do with it.

Yeah I saw that for parra as well.

Spotlight Trailbreaker/cutter is fantastic.

A true spotlight issue that has some great ties to the ongoing MtMtE story and to Metroplex and the Titans. Art is great, far more detailed and fluent than his work on the Mars Attacks cross over.

Really funny and enjoyable comic with great writing once again, Whirl was a highlight, but Rodimus and Sweve get a line or two. Even introduces Hoist, some Armada characters (Landmine and I thought it was Hotshot flinging his arm infront of first Aid, turns out it was Dipstick) as well as Lockdown and Lugnutz in very animated style bodies. Makes sense since the Insecticons were previously part of Thundercracker's team long ago.

Be nice to get a story following their exploits at some point.

Spotlight Hoist sounds interesting too, it might be the mission mentioned in Trailcutter, but it's the who he meets while on the mission intrigues me.

Spotlight Hoist preview.

And we finally get to see who we've been expecting to visit the Lost Light for a while now.

Not sure I can add much here - I agree with everything above

Well spotted it was Hot Shot, I missed that.

Did Trailbreaker/cutter always have Magnawheels? I know it's not in the original tech specs. Has he ever demonstrated them in any genre of fiction before? Or did he just get them for the purposes of this comic?

I also absolutely loved this comic. I felt so much for Trailbreaker and it really felt in the moment and it was quite humorous at the same time, which was good. Whirl was pretty hilarious too.
