“Shockwaveâ€. Now this is the way to kick off a new Transformers series. I tip my hat to you, IDW. The story centers on Shockwave, the Decepticon Guardian of Cybertron and all-powerful slave to logic, who comes to prehistoric Earth to collect Energon. He is followed by the Dynobots (yes, it’s spelled that way) who adapt Beast Modes based on the fossils of Dinosaurs. The enemies then proceed to slug it out. The story is very, very reminiscent of their origin tale as it appeared in the old Marvel comic, which I’m sure is no coincidence. Their updated origin is intriguing and meshes in several concepts from Beast Wars, which I loved. You’ve also got an ending which directly ties into Stormbringer and IDW’s Transformers on-going series. This is one of the better issues IDW has published so far and it’s got me suitably hyped.
