Like the different reason for the Dynobots aggression based alt modes, was fearful of a Prime based reason.

Interesting to see "naturally forming Energon" that was primal or tainted, either path offers interesting options for storytelling.

Big reveal of Trypticon was cool, he looks huge, I love that it was a science team with bugger all weaponry that seem to be the focus for the next 2-3 issues, something different. Also enjoyed the introduction of Kup, been missing him in the current timeline stories, wish he hadn't been sacrificed so badly in such a terrible crossover.
Strangely no Megatron or actual Dinobots this issue, neither were really missed. It'd be nice not to see Megs until the final issue to leave some things hanging.
