Ultra Magnus is missing, with Arcee and Beachcomber trying to find him. Back on Cybertron, the Autobots are planning a big assault, with Cliffjumper and Elita One among their number.

There’s an awful lot going on in this issue, which is hugely action packed, eventful and with a lot of different events happening concurrently to keep track of. It’s a little too much at points; though previous issues haven’t been difficult to follow at all, I did have a bit of trouble keeping up with Transformers #17.

That said, it’s still the case that Daniel Warren Johnson totally gets these characters and their world(s), and Jorge Corona’s art, along with Mike Spicer’s bold colour palette, is fantastic.

This issue even introduces an entirely new character too, which is pretty exciting given that Johnson has used a cast of familiar (and, in some cases not so familiar) faces. It remains to be seen whether or not the new Transformer is a worthy addition to the cast, but I’m willing to give them (and Johnson!) a chance.
