Transformers Escalation #2

May 31, 2023 By Spengs

The “robots in disguise” angle is still being maintained in this title.  The Decepticons’ methods are very…”unusual”, at least in regards for the Decepticons.  Instead of just hijacking power plants or hydro electric dams and causing general mayhem and panic, they’re maniulating Earth’s heated war zones and upsetting international balances.  They’re using “fake” humans to infiltrate the military as well as their own troops in disguise as fighter jets to frame America.  Very sneaky and un-Decepticon-like.

The humans have been down-played so far.  Verity and Jimmy hardly have any lines at all.  We’ll see how long that lasts.  There’s a spotlight on Jazz, Wheeljack and Ironhide in this issue, with Optimus still not really doing much.  The Decepticons despite their complicated scheme, only get a few pages.  The dialogue between Skywarp and Thundercracker was great, though (“Could be worse, I suppose…could be Starscream”).

Overall, I’m liking this arc better, but I’m still not “thrilled”.  We’ll see how that goes.
