Maximum Dinobots

Does anybody want to buy a bunch of Sunstreakers to repaint as Machination Headmasters?

I considered it. The white ones and black/gray ones look kind of cool.

So good to get a continuation of something I have read for the past 3 years.

And nice to get something that is easy to read, and has a decent script as opposed to the AHM stuff.
There has obviously been a little time jump post Revelations, but unlike AHM, it doesn't really matter, it's just a natural pick up of where we left off from Spotlight Grimlock and Devastation.

Roche's art is different from what he has given us thus far, but it's still good, his work on Hunter is not great, but who cares about the squishies right? However his Dynobots/Thunder Lizards are fantastic and the colours are perfect for the series thus far.

Bring on #2, which from the 5 page preview looks to be a good blend of story and violence!

Yeah I am liking Maximum Dinobots so far. For me, the first issue alone is superior to the first 3 issues of AHM!

I am also glad that its place in continuity with the previous stories is solid unlike AHM.

Maybe if I found a loose lot for cheap... they'd probably be junkers though.

Loved #1, and Nick is gonna be doing some trouser shattering in #2 - the preview looks awesome. Hot Rod is totally pwned!

Looking at the earlier Grimlock spotlight I did notice that Grimlock's design had changed, but I liked that they threw in a line to explain it (by him reflecting that he had only been able to make cosmetic changes to his form).

got the first issue yesterday

wasn't very impressed, but i know they need to do the whole backstory thing for new readers.

I also dont like how the IDW universe is going far into the future with AHM and then back to the past with Maximum Deenobots and then all over the place with the Spotlight issues

and then for new readers, you must hunt down all the spotlight issues that tie in with Minimum Dynobots, seems a bit silly to Roller

And whats with Hunter?

I thought he would be inside Sunstreakers vehicle mode, maybe part of the car, it sounds like he is missing-the hologram says something like that

[FFN]

IDW Headmasters don't disconnect from their bodies when transforming. They stay in head mode while the body is in vehicle mode, and so Hunter needs to be projected as a holoavatar.

Sunstreaker's real head is missing, Machination took it away. In Devastation 4-5, Sunstreaker was so desperate to escape the Machination that he shunted nearly all of his consciousness into Hunter without telling him.
