Galvatron: "It spoke to me... At long last, it has made its message clear."
Any Decepticon: "What did the Dead Universe say?"
Galvatron: "First, that we should call it by its true name... UNICRON!"

Read through the character dialogue and tell me you don't feel more stupid than you did before you read it. I dare you. I've enjoyed IDW until now. This looks like complete trash.

When they first introduced Cyclonus, a couple years ago he took on an entire Autobot ship an it’s crew by himself.
Fast forward to current and now he’s a borderline sniveling flunky getting bested by two Autobots, who I’ll admit are both hard hitters. But witnessing how all of it is taking place in this sneak peak just makes it all seem like a cop out by demoting their powers, character and IQ’s for the sole purpose of building up to whatever Galvy here is going to discover.
Huh, no wonder there was no real initial push or hype for this arch, between the amateurish artwork and the lazy writing I don’t know if I should even bother picking this up and reading the rest of it in the comic book store. And it’s kind sad since I’ve always loved all the characters mentioned so far…and despite some people just being happy with Galvatron and company finally having their own book after all these years, some of us aren’t sold that easily.
So my point is any one of these Death Universe Cons should be able to stand up alone against these “two” Autobots and I base that on the buildup of them not being your ordinary transformers in all the previous issues.
Plus after all Galvatron has accomplished in the little we’ve seen of him, why does the author feel it’s cool to lower the bar and have Galvatron need his “spinach” now???
Current IDW writers =FAIL!

I mean, there's no way you can have Scourge say "Dear stars above" and be serious right?
Right??

Not a failure. I'm pretty sure he was going for sarcasm so thick that you couldn't help but step in it.
I've got to admit that this preview evoked a number of flash-backs and not all of them were pleasant. Actually only one of them was. The others were just...
A 5 page preview was just about 4 pages too many if the whole rest of the issue was going to follow that style. The art was decent but that writing made G1 Marvel look like Pulitzer material.
