I like the colouring by Josh, but I'm not a real fan of Guido's penciling in AHM. I much preferred his work in Spotlight: Galvatron.

So I'd really like McCarthy to answer the question of whether this story is meant to be in continuity or not!

McCarthy himself has confirmed repeatedly (as part of damage control) that AHM is part of the continuity Furman established. I remain highly skeptical.

I think the line referring to the Machination is something of an afterthought.


What concerns me about AHM or whatever upcoming is the new 'Drift' character. The description they gave of him seems like somebody vomited Japanese stereotypes and pop culture into Transformer form, and he sounds like McCarthy's self-insertion fanfic "BADASS" type of character.

Anybody remember the Wreckers/Universe BotCon/OTFCC comic version of Devcon? The fan writer wrote him as a BADASS loner jerk character, despite his only previous fictional appearance making him out to be a pretty nice guy.
