So, who'd have thought it would be Screamer who can see the threat a long way off and be able to pull everything needed together to start a pre-emotive response.
This was very well written, although I am still not used to the manner of Wheeljacks speech, but that's more due to me hearing his G1 voice when I read him than anything else.
I wonder if a prowl has set up this "insider" like he did with Soundwave, to try and scare Starscream? It seems both are playing a long game, and whilst I know a Starscream only truly cares about being in power, hearing him talking about never letting Cybertron fall is awesome. The characters in other prominent positions will set up some good plays later on. Also interesting that Windblade comes across as a smarter, more decisive and compassionate character than she did in her own mini. Is it the writing, or growth / learning from her character?
As Skyshadow said, the art is brilliant, I know some dislike the style and the eyes can be a little weird with pupils, but the style and colouring is top notch.
Easily one of the best RiD issues, and no surprise since it is a Wheeljacks based issue and those have always been Barber's most cohesive and fluent issues.
I know it is a set up issue, getting pieces in place for the upcoming event but it was a good lengthy read, lead by character interactions, with information drip fed and plenty of foreshadowing.
