Personal highlights from issue 1 of Transformers

1). Rubble is babey and must be protecting at all costs.

2.) The Acenticon logo is just the decepticon logo upside down, which I would call lazy but it makes an arrow pointing upwards (ascending) and that’s honestly pretty clever.

3.) Functionalism doesn’t seem to be apart of Cybertron’s society, since both Orion and Megatron became senators and Bumblebee was able to change jobs with little resistance. (But apparently there’s more to it)

4.) This scene:

It’s entirely possible that I’m over analyzing here, but the way Orion pauses and just looks at the floor before Megatron comes is interesting. Is he thinking about what he’s gonna say to him? Is he contemplating that he and Megatron might already be at a place where they can’t have a safe talk together? This is honestly one of my favorite panels in the comic so far and I’m not sure why.

5.) Windblade continues to be the mom friend and I lover her.

6.) Brainstorm being Cybertron’s first murder in years is shocking, and it’s gut wrenching to see Rubble just ask is corpse if he’s okay because cybertronians haven’t thought about death in so long, but at the same time I can’t help but think this:

That’s it for this issue, and it’s off to a pretty good start!
