Galvatron is face to face with Nemesis Prime who wants to kill him and his Decepticons in revenge for Galvatron having killed him in the past. Galvatron has touse all of his power to defeat this enemy from the past and continue his mission to ward off the Heart of Darkness. Can Galvatron destroy Nemesis Prime?

The first thing I have t mention is the artwork. I don’t like how Farinas renders the Transformers as big boxes without any shape. Granted the toys are often like this, I like Transformers illustrators that can give them great looking silhouettes. The other problem with Farinas are the faces. They are ugly. I could not recognize Cyclonus here. I don’t understand why he had to give the characters huge eyeballs and ugly noses. Great Transformers illustrators understand that there is a fine line between graceful illustration and stocky and boxy ones. Farinas is the boxy type.

The story itself is less interesting with nothing but fights and stuff blowing up. Little has been learn from the previous issue. In fact, since it’s been months since the last issue  I read, I couldn’t quite understand where the story was picking up from and where it was going, even with an introductory recap to the story, it took me a while to get a grip on things.
