Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus

The way this was written was just not good.   There's a way to make something kid-friendly without dulling the emotions of the characters.   This didn't do that, it just simplified everything to the point where it felt I wasn't reading about the characters I was familiar with from the movie, or from the comics. 

The writing got pretty funky at points, too, so I was not impressed with the writer's skills. 

I did, however, like some things.   The way this mimicked a graphic novel without being one, with the sound effects, and the funky script - letters going in circles on one page, or zooming across, or being cut across by some imagery - were pleasing to me.   

To bad this failed to be emotionally resonant at all.
