Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus

So first of all, this skips over issues like three and ten.   For, like, no apparent reason - and it's even odder because they talk about the how the mini-series came about, why and how it was expanded, but they don't give us issue three of a four issue mini-series.   Bizarre.   Even more bizarre are that I know character named were changed due to trademark reasons - like Trailbreaker changing his name to Trailcutter in IDW - and this would be understandable.   I'd have certainly accepted that as a valid reason for not reprinting the comic, and would have mentioned that they gave an explanation. 

Instead, as a reader, I'm left to marvel at the incompleteness and wonder why it's so incomplete.   It bothered me enough to knock down one star.   I am fond of transparency, and this was anything but. 

I knocked down one star because members was spelled mesbers in the last issue - and it was a systematic problem.   I don't know why, but a lot of shit was misspelled.   A lot. 

One half star because cassette decks and guns jumped around.   Not in robot mode.   In alt mode. 

Two and a half stars, because this was cheesy fun - but fun.   I really did like seeing how the Autobots and Decepticons came to be.  

Plus, mmm, Dinobots.   And they're not stupid in this era/when they were first created.   Which is interesting.   And makes me sad about my reaction to this - because I tend to find them hotter when they're violent and stupid.
