Comic Review: Monstrosity IDW digital release

[BigTransformerTrev]

With 1. Meg's back and having kicked Scorponok's arse, 2. Trypticon defeated, 3. the Dynobots and 4. the Circle of Light having taken off into space, makes you wonder what is going to be in the last two issues. After all, those were really the four main plot lines.

Ah, now I see. Trypticon wakes up, stomps on Prime and then promptly eats him, Megatron & Grimlock. How did I not see that coming



Still cool though!

Good ending, very much a second of three ending, where the heroes are at a low after ending part one on a high.

Like the tie in with the fiction we have had in MtMtE. Good work from the IDW editors to get some more consistency between current era and historical stories.

Interesting twist: After he and Grimlock bust up Trypticon from the inside, after the Autobots leave Megatron uses the spark he took from the Quintesson to repower Trypticon.

I wonder if that is how they explain that Trypticon is so much more powerful here than in the cameo's he has later on. Before he was powered by almost limitless reserves of the tainted primal energon, now just by a stolen spark.

Grimlock & Meg's in the belly of the beast was well done, and a nice portayl of Grimlock being stubborn, while Megatron is just as brutal but a long-view thinker as well. Kinda a cop out that Optimus was such a major character in the previous issues and in this last one all he does is lie there dying, not even a word.

Still, very much enjoyed this series overall

Oh that's what he was doing on that page.

I enjoyed the twist, prefer Trypticon as a thinking creation.

Wonder if that means we will see him at all in the present stories at some point? I imagine he is out of service dur to power issues but still around somewhere.

Trypticon appeared in a cameo in one of the Spotlights, Blaster's if I recall correctly, in a flashback to an important battle... but it didn't have much in common with Monstrosity's version. It had more in common with Dreamwave's War Within version as I recall.

He was also in a flashback which showed him, Optimus, Megs & Omega firing at an off-panel Thunderwing. In that shot he was only about a head taller than Omega, rather than his (in my opinion much more appropriate) massive Monstrosity form.
