I really liked this issue. My only main gripe is the lack of resolution on the whole Ironhide thing.

Also interesting was the way that their minds were beginning to merge - which is what happened with Headmasters and Powermasters back in G1 although this is happening at a way faster rate (minutes rather than years).

I ruled out Scorponok because I thought it was too obvious and fell into believing that it would be Bludgeon... so the revelation of Scorponok actually came as a surprise to me!

Which is basically what he was like in G1 too. I also like how he "upgraded" Deathbringer making him more like G1 Deathbringer! In G1, Deathbringer was created by the Matrix - so it'd be interesting to see if Galvatron's "death touch" power, and the whole Dead Universe thing is at all related to the Matrix, Primus and/or Unicron... hrmm..



Nova Prime being revealed as Nemesis Prime was really predictable IMO.



Still, it's interesting to see more light being shed on ol' Nova Prime who was only mentioned by name in G1 (as Prime Nova)... other than that, until now we've known nothing about Sentinel Prime's predecessor.
