Transformers Devastation #5 Review

I didn't get it either. Blurr has an addiction to "speed"? He's an energon junkie getting wasted?

I didn't get it either. Blurr has an addiction to "speed"? He's an energon junkie getting wasted?

That was my initial thought. Now I am in two minds.

Firstly, I thought that Blurr was hooked on the speed that "real" energon gave him, because it made him special, and needed, so he had been secretly refuelling on an unstable Energon seam, and it blew up.

And then on a re-read I noticed he said something that made me think of Animated Nanosec, that somehow always moving so fast had aged him, and now with all the "real" Energon gone, he was next to useless, and old, and thus went and blew himself up.

Of course chances are I am entirely wrong on both accounts.

i think the only subplot that has gone on too long has been the wheeljack/hot rod search for Ironhide. Aside from that I've loved the progression.
Can't wait for All Hail Megatron!

I agree with bassbot's sentiments. I'm also hoping that Sunstreaker will somehow get binary bonded with O'Nion and become a true Headmaster (those others are more like Headmaster Jrs).

So did anyone get the Mosaic? I_amtrunks has offered some possible reasons but without much conviction. I agree with him, it could go anyway.

Pretty lame that they included a Mosaic that is hardly decipherable.

Or am I just dimwitted. (which of course is also highly likely)

blurr took some highly illigal energon that was so potent that it caused him to...

more next time

Blurr is using ilegal energon, Magnus should lock him up.

Hrmmm while I enjoyed this issue more than the previous one, i have to agree with most of the points said here. It is to slow with the subplots. Seems to me comics seemed to pack way more in, in the old days. Now with all these full page spreads, or half page spreads the stories often seem diluted. I miss classic comics.

The only good thing about the Reapers is one of them is a Deathbringer (harking back to the UK comic), apart from that, they suck now they were cool in the Sixshot spotlight but now there suddenly a lot weaker. I think it would be cooler if they were just all Deathbringers wanting to recruit Sixshot to help them purify the galaxy and what not. (which is sort of what they are, but the Deathbringer story from the UK comic had a much better rationale. All these Super weapon creatures meeting up is just to corny. I can't agree that they're an embarrassment to TF fiction though, seems to me TF fiction has a LOT more to be emabarassed about then some generic badguys.

The Roche one suffers because the colours are just two vibrant. Almost kiddy. The more significant problem is Megatron's lips are just a bit two high. Next we have both Megatron and Starscream seemingly in unison... doesn't quite compute.

To me they look like lovers looking of at a distant sunset, I didn't get this cover obviously.
