Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

Insurgent wrote:I skipped these stories, but I may pick up the trade. What are people's views on these stories? Any good?
The Great War has begun and the Decepticons have taken the city-state of Kaon. They now work to sow dissent across Cybertron via terrorist cells. Orion Pax leads a team in an effort to stop them, while confronting the true nature of what it means to be an Autobot.
In the early days of the war on CYBERTRON, OPTIMUS PRIME puts everything on the line to unify the planet—but not everyone agrees that this new Prime should be in charge! Meanwhile, the fallen DECEPTICON leader, MEGATRON, begins a journey that will change everything.
THE WAR FOR CYBERTRON! Optimus Prime versus Megatron. Autobots versus Decepticons. At the dawn of the conflict, battle lines are drawn and sides are set… now legends will be made. The war that would define a planet begins in earnest—and its revelations will shake the TRANSFORMERS' world to the core!

In my opinion... just alright. If you're invested in this universe (which I am) and want to see some more backstory to it (which I did), then these really aren't bad. Could be a lot worse, but they don't really affect anything in the wider universe other than some recent goings-on in OP and a little more possible insight into Hot/Rodimus' character.
Pick 'em up if you really like the universe and you can, but you're not missing much if you don't.

Hmmm. I do love the IDWverse. If it pops up in my local comic shop, I may pick it up.
Or I just read Va'al's post and learn the outcome of the stories. Doing a brief overview is one thing, but why tell all the outcome plot points of the stories in the thread where you are saying hey, this book is out! Go pick it up and read it if you haven't already read them?

YoungPrime wrote:I really enjoyed the first 2 arcs... Though Primacy felt like a rush job. Plus you got more bang for your buck with those $0.99 issues online IMO. Primacy was a full comic book issue with a lot of empty panels. The are had it's ups and downs but not as bad as some make it out.
Overall I give the whole thing a B-.
Wouldn't mind more is they gave it the treatment that they gave the first 2 arcs.
