The history of the two warring worlds is revealed to Solila, and meanwhile Darak’s life is threatened. By his own father, no less. Elsewhere, Cobra-La roams the stars and Proximus is taking his duties of protecting little Ultum very seriously indeed.

You may assume from that short synopsis that there’s a lot of subplots in Void Rivals at the moment; you wouldn’t be wrong in that assumption.

Though individual story strands are just fine on their own, others seem totally disconnected from anything that’s going on in the main story, and each plot is starting to feel so disparate that it just ends up feeling like a Frankenstein’s Monster of badly stitched together bits and pieces.

We’ve got massive Transformers lore dumps over here, GI Joe tie in stuff over there, and in the middle of it are numerous, separate Void Rivals strands that just feel chucked in there.

The series started off focusing on the titular rivalry between two warring societies who turn out to be much more similar than they’ve been led to believe; now, it just feels like an extended advert for the Energon Universe comics line as a whole, and not a very good one.
