Well, the good news is that there aren’t any of those stupid speech bubble errors that nearly ruined the first issue.  The bad news is that it still feels like the story is being terrible rushed.  Don Figueroa’s art is as gorgeous as usual but some of the angles seem a bit uninspired.  For instance, when Megatron gives his line “Wait…I still function…” it’s seen from a bird’s-eye-view.  The line was given much more effectively in the film when you saw it coming directly from Megatron’s cracked and leaking face.  This does try and clear up at least *one* mystery among the fandom: who became Cyclonus, Scourge and the Sweeps.  Though, honestly, nobody but us super Transformer nerds are gonna give a damn about that.  Bob Budianski’s narrative is cheesy yet nostalgic, but his editing dialogue for the sake of editing is really unnecessary.  Sometimes it doesn’t even make sense, like where he cuts out Rumble saying “What’d he say his name was?” it makes Galvatron’s line “And my name is Galvatron” seem a bit…awkward.  Overall, purdy art, but nothing to get excited over.
