You said it, this first issue sure has delivered the goods. I'm already attached to several of the characters, if anything happens to Rewind I don't know what I'll do, haha. Speaking of the small fry, I wonder what those disks are he purchased before climbing aboard the ship?

Tailgate definitely brought home the lols didn't he? Every scene with him was pure gold! And then in contrast you've got the rather disturbed Whirl who's equally engaging but for totally different reasons. It's just terrific stuff!

Yeah I hope the seemingly acquired taste of the art doesn't stop people from reading this series. Having said that, I love the style! What's more, with the digital copy you get all 5 comic covers one of which is in the exact same style as the Wreckers TPB cover style. Sooooo cool! The only character whose art I didn't like was Cyclonus, his face just isn't very well drawn imo.
The design for Whirl is truly fantastic however, he looks really insect-like which adds to his creepiness.

Re: Prowl I think he receives the message before they leave, mainly because of his comments in the last cell of page 7. Not too sure though!
