So I picked up issue 14. I've read it through. It's really unfortunate.

The Sunstreaker story was... very McCarthy. It's meant to be a tragic retake (rather than really contributing continuity-wise) in Sunstreaker's story. I don't see the point -- he's still alive? Uh, okay.

McCarthy wants the pathos of his characters in pain... it's a theme throughout his TF work, Blurr, Cliffjumper, now this Sunstreaker story. He's just not very good at it.

Then the Galvatron story. Yet another reset-to-G1. How unfortunate. A boring story that was... kinda pointless. It's amazing how little happens in these comics. 11 pages was a *FULL UK ISSUE* back in the day. And they had to have a beginning, middle and an end.

The Galvatron story doesn't even really have any signs of actual story structure. Cyclonus is burning corpses, then Galvatron talks him out of it. That's not a story, that's barely even a vignette.
