I really don't get it. Not to name names or anything, but the local
comic shop called me yesterday to remind me that they had several
issues on hold for me. Now, I didn't ask them to hold anything for
me, but the guy behind the counter sort of badgered me into it. When
I tried to pick up my first issue on hold, though, it turned into such
a chore (with the guy unable to locate it, calling somebody else who
was also unable to locate it, and then finally giving me an issue from
some *other* guy's hold pile) that now I just pick up an issue off the
shelf and buy it. Clean, simple, quick—and my van doesn't get towed
away from the bank parking lot. So, yesterday they call and I say,
look, you can really just stop holding issues for me. The guy insists
that they continue to do so, but in the same breath adds would I
please actually let them know if I'm buying issues off the shelf so
they can empty out my hold box and let other people actually buy the
issues that have been sitting under the counter for the past three
months.
So, uh, anyway. SPOILERS for the May 2013 issue, which I picked up
off the shelf. Snerk.
Synopsis: Aboard the Warworld, above an alien world called Cresta
Superior, Bludgeon demonstrates to Soundwave the power of the Blitz
Engines (the ED-209 style robots created using Matrix energy);
Soundwave is suitably impressed, vowing to continue his alliance with
Bludgeon. On Cybertron, the Autobots discuss the aftermath of
Scorponok's gene key tampering; Perceptor suggests that there are
lingering effects that cannot easily be undone. As Ultra Magnus
attempts to rally the remaining troops with an inspirational speech,
Optimus Prime contacts him from Earth, and Magnus informs him that the
citizens of Nebulos is in shock in the wake of Scorponok's
interference on that world. Magnus is none too pleased that Hot Rod
disappeared during recent events, but Prime supports Hot Rod's
decision to unify the Cybertronians and the demons. Elsewhere,
Galvatron heads for Cybertron aboard the Ark, reliving his experience
as Unicron's slave and, seemingly, preparing to rewrite the future in
which he is not merely given Earth, but rather his homeworld. Despite
Kup's doubts about unification, Hot Rod addresses the citizens and
tells them of his plans to bring the demons back to the fold—but a
random citizen responds by throwing a bomb at Hot Rod. Kup saves him,
but suggests that he gives up command to Ultra Magnus. The Dinobots
approach Hot Rod and join him on the underground expedition, believing
that Grimlock is still alive. Back on Cresta Superior, a sleek
Cybertronic robot calling himself Rook reports to his commander that
the planet's life forms were destroyed and that there are traces of
allspark energy. His commander is revealed to be Jhiaxus, who seems
to have expected such a discovery.
The three cover variants available are Cover A by Andrew Wildman (the
one I bought; it shows Bludgeon symbolically chopping planet Cybertron
in half with his sword); Cover B by Guido Guidi (which shows Circuit
Smasher, who does not appear at all in this issue, and Fixit tending
to some catatonic zombie Nebulan citizens); and the retailer incentive
cover by Geoff Senior, showing a triumphant Galvatron straddling a
chasm on Cybertron. This is the first time I dislike the Guidi cover;
Geoff Senior's is the clear winner of this batch.
The pacing of this issue feels similar to the fallout in issue #76,
with a lot of characters recovering from big events and plans being
prepared in the background to move forward in new directions.
Scorponok's attempted gene key reprogramming wasn't nearly as
catastrophic as Unicron's attack on Cybertron, of course, so it feels
kind of anti-climactic. It's interesting that Soundwave (and,
presumably, the troops under his command) has forged a partnership
with Bludgeon rather than simply falling under his command structure
automatically. (I wonder if Thunderwing would outrank Bludgeon if he
were conscious?)
Optimus Prime senses somehow that Galvatron is, indeed, a reborn
version of Megatron. It strains credibility that Prime would even
know Galvatron's name, since Galvatron spent most of his time trying
to play Xaaron from behind the scenes and then sneaking aboard the Ark
before Unicron's attack. The other robots on the Ark might have
learned who he was, but not Prime.
The biggest plot development by far, though, is the introduction of
Jhiaxus. He appears briefly in flashback in issue #80.5, but I
assumed that this was more of an acknowledgement of what came before,
but thst Jhiaxus existed only in "zero space" and that he wasn't part
of this continuity. His introduction now, and the shattering of zero
space on the final page, suggests that he's going to do some
continuity-hopping of some sort and will indeed interact with the
characters from the comic. I'm assuming that Jhiaxus will have
knowledge from the events of the G2 comic, but that evens unfolded
differently for him than for the other characters. This has the
potential to get very messy, so I hope Furman has thought everything
through in advance.
The artwork of this issue has some interesting highlights. There's a
scene showing a Scourge-like barkeeper cleaning up outside Maccadam's
Old Oil House, and I recognize him as the same guy who appears in the
illustration from Transformers: The Ultimate Guide from 2004. (I
imagine he appears in other places, as well, but I haven't read every
single UK issue and I don't bother with IDW's current stuff.) Autobot
Pretender Sky High appears to have been disabled during the gene key
wars and is sitting unconscious in a library somewhere. Autobots who
assembled to discuss the gene key effects are Hot Rod, Perceptor,
Prowl, Grapple, Kup, First Aid, and Jetfire. (He was a high-ranking
Autobot who was present in issue #27 when the Autobots discussed who
would replace Optimus Prime, so his inclusion was a pleasant
surprise.) Highbrow, Brainstorm, and Hardhead are shown being taken
into custody and imprisoned. All four members of the Micromaster
Rescue Patrol (Fixit, Red Hot, Seawatch, and Stakeout) are shown
tending to the Nebulan population. Autobots serving as security for
Hot Rod's audience with the citizens include Inferno, Roadbuster,
Prowl again, Red Alert, Blurr, Blades, Streetwise, Sandstorm, and
Wreck N' Ruin. The background appearances are always one of the most
fun things about reading this comic, but two different opportunities
to include more of them seem largely wasted (all the guys Ultra Magnus
is addressing during his speech are generic nobodies, and all the
members of the crowd addressed by Hot Rod are also nobodies, though
you can see Needlenose and Spinister whispering into the ears of the
dissidents, and it's Needlenose who hands one guy the bomb that gets
hurled at Roddy).
Unfortunately, this is, in some ways, a very content-free issue.
There just isn't much else to talk about. It's 22 pages in length and
everything, just like it's supposed to be, but... eh. I've completely
exhausted everything I have to say. Anybody else?

I had a problem with this when Kup knew Galvatron's name back near the beginning of the series, too. Furman seems to think Fortress Maximus (who ALSO never learned Galvatron's name) told them when making a report post issue #79.

Times a very hard for comic book sellers, and they going to do what they can to convert you from a casual customer who usually buys some series off the shelf to a regular customer who they can count on. In your case, they are doing it badly.

I've switched to digital and collections (preferably hardcover, tpb if need be). I am slowly putting my local comic shop out of business, but the stuff I want is now always in stock, and I don't have to speak to strangers.
Speaking to strangers frightens me. Strangers are bad.
Also, I tend to make terrible mistakes. For instance, a bunch of years when I was buying the reissued TPB of Green Lantern / Green Arrow by Denny O'Neill and Neal Adams, the guy behind the counter said "This is the comic that made me what I am today" and I said "Bald?"
Just one of those moments when what pops into my head pops out of my mouth before I can stop to think. Safer to just buy digital and get books from Amazon and never speak to another person.

one. (I'm surprised because lately Wildman's covers haven't been doing
it for me but this one was just cool).

we get an arc for the rest of the series here (I felt the Scorponok one
had lots of potential but almost seemed rushed). I want to see where
he's going with this and I hope it delivers on what it promises.

either, honestly.
The only scenario that makes any kind of sense to me is that Ratchet
made some kind of log aboard the Ark before it crashed in Canada. It
would have made sense to create some kind of record for the benefit of
Autobots sifting through the crash site, perhaps stored aboard a
"black box" on the Ark that would contain relevant data about what
caused the crash. (Really, Megatron was the only one who had a full
understanding that Galvatron was his future self, which means that if
Megatron knew it, Ratchet knew it, too. Convoluted as all-get-out,
yes, but I'm a fan so this is what I do.)

which he controls?
Were the Dinobots, the NeoKnights, and HiQ/Prime the only ones to
encounter the demons late Marvel G1?
Why is Galvatron leaving Earth, and now going back to Cybertron?
IIRC, after the Unicron War in G1 #75, he secretly hitched a ride
aboard the Ark that Shockwave and Starscream were stealing, who had
the same idea of conquering Earth, as they all knew Cybertron was
dying. After the Ark crashed in Canada, Galvatron was taken down by
Fort Max, and just recently got revived, ran into Starscream (who
Galvatron knew Megatron had made so he couldn't speak for himself),
and hijacked the Ark to go back to Cybertron. The only explanation I
can come up for all this is that he discovered the decimation done to
Earth, with no energy and nothing to conquer, and maybe saw Prime and
other Autobots attending to Earth now, and figured Cybertron
survived? Galvatron could have told Starscream this, who in turn told
Shockwave.
I loved the shown scene from the Rhythms of Darkness timeline. I hope
they show more in the future.
The citizens of Cybertrron at HR's speech: Were they both Autobot and
Decepticon, with some Decepticons being part of Soundwave/Bludgeon's
troops? Scorponok's troops were just the converted Autobots, until it
was undone, right?

actaully revive him at some point? I'm guessing the former, but not
totally sure.

that perhaps the carnage from it was undone as well (Wreckers'
deaths), but maybe they still recall Galvatron from it, somehow? If
they still recall Galvatron from Time Wars, the way Prime talks about
Galvy II acts like he's guessing he must be Galvatron, when it was
made apparent in Time Wars that he was indeed once Megatron (right?).
Also, as Galvy I died, Optimus would be wondering about that too. Now
that I think about it, didn't Galvatron announce himself to the
Autobots on Cybertron, pre-Unicron War, that he was Galvatron? But
they would have told Prime about it (those that survived the Unicron
War).

it. I was hoping that they'd avoid that stuff this time out, but,
again, I guess it was inevitable. I also think posters Gustavo and
G.B. Blackrock are right in that this is just the RG1 version of the
2nd Generation Decepticons. It makes more sense to me, as well.
I really do want an explanation of this "zero space" stuff at some
point, which I'm guessing we'll get.

the Ark, part of the "zero space" thing, or perhaps Unicron itself, or
maybe both? From the RoD flashback, I get the sense that perhaps the
Autobots had Cybertron when Unicron was eating it.
