I like the artwork on the G1 manga but yeah - storywise it's bollocks. It's written for a much younger audience than the Marvel comics. That's typical of Transformers manga - even post-G1. The only manga worth reading are exclusives (e.g.: convention exclusives, DVD exclusives etc. - predominantly written by Ichikawa Hirofumi). The final issue of the Victory manga is truly cringeworthy. (-_-) Some fantastic artwork though.
