Comic review: Robots in Disguise season 2: #28 onwards

[SMHFConvoy]

I gotta say, I really liked this issue, really clicked. Highlights: Sky Lynx, Thundercracker and Cosmos.

^Agreed.

I picked up both this and the latest issue of MTMTE and made the mistake of reading this issue first. For anyone who haven't picked up either issue, do yourself a favour and read MTMTE first, as it does chronologically happen first and there's a bit of a spoiler in it -- nothing majorly serious, but I felt that it would've been more enjoyable if I'd read these two issues the other way around.

I feel like it's time for the Constructicons to paint themselves red, white and black (or for Prowl to paint himself green and purple.)

I only liked Thundercracker in this issue. He is the only character that I feel stays consistent throughout this issue, let alone compared to recent history.

Not sure how we are meant to believe that the humans would ally with the cons with Galvatron doing his best G1 insane Galvy impersonation. I also don't get why Prime, the great military leader just resorts to "attack" quickly followed by "runaway" followed by "save me!"

While I see what Prowl is doing looks good to him, I feel it will come back to bite him, the writers are not as smart as Prowl thinks he is.

I am hoping that RiD can start to move forward from poorly drawn and written fights to something with a story or it's going to lose my interest, it is already waning after just two issues. It's a shame as the art is awful and some of the secondary characters are well done, yet Kup is awfully cliche...

I pretty much agree with everything here. I actually don't mind the art though Galvatrons alt-mode looks horrible. It's an interesting take how Prowl has embraced having the Constructicons as his personal gang - I was kinda hoping during Dark Cybertron that somehow Scrapper would come back to life like Metalhawk but this is more interesting and seeing Prowl fully intergrated into Devestator instead of just a couple of red horns on the big D's head looked really cool.

Spoiler free ahead, I have many thoughts about this one, but the key points for me were:

Nosebleeds??? Interesting.

Skywarp all tied up... Interesting.

Prowl once again showing he is waaaay ahead of everyone, but still not as clever as he could be... Interesting.

Humans show their cards... Interesting.

Ancient Cybertron and A.T. have more to show... Interesting. Also I have a feeling we are going to get more characterisation for Nova and Galvatron now that we should have gotten prior to Dark Cybertron.

Soundwave making a bigger play than anticipated, that would have needed to be setup prior to Dark Cybertron and I am guessing required the knowledge that Prowl would be too smart for his own good... Very Interesting.

In all, the best RiD issue for a looooong time.

"Only five of me are halfwits."

"Yeah, everybody's sure of that."

"Did you just issue me an order, Spacebus?"

Some great lines this month.
