Items of note

  • Identifying the Transformers under the control of the Initiative is... difficult. Artist Carlos Magno has redesigned several of them into more monstrous forms, as he did with Ransack and Reverb earlier in the mini-series, and the coloring certainly doesn't do them any favours. We're pretty sure that Simon Furman will have specifically picked out real toyline characters, but until he gives up some info, some of the names in the "featured characters" list above are just best-guesses. Here's our breakdown:
    • The three robots who attack Bumblebee and Jolt are coloured entirely grey, so that's not a great starting place. The first, at least, is immediately recognizable as being the jet mold that Breakaway and Thrust are based on; given that Breakaway died earlier in this series, we're assuming this is supposed to be Thrust.
    • The second of Jolt's assailants is unrecognizable. The presence of a hook in place of his right hand suggests he is intended to be Lockdown.
    • The third robot appears to turn into a jet, but is unidentifiable.
    • Of the robots who emerge to confront the other Autobots, two are drawn particularly small in the back of the crowd. One is covered in tank treads, and is basically unrecognizable, but based on the blue coloration he is given in the next issue, we assume him to be Tankor. The other has wings like a stealth plane, which coupled with the red and black coloration he appears with in the next issue indicate he is assuredly either Skystalker or Mindwipe. We've opted for the former.
    • Armorhide is referred to by name, so him, we can be sure of. However, he appears in first toy body, transforming into a truck, instead of his dune buggy Revenge of the Fallen form.
    • As a helicopter, Blazemaster is pretty recognizable, and is referred to by name in the next issue.
    • The final robot, in the foreground, is not easy to suss out based on this issue, but wider shots of him next issue allow us to peg him as Brawn.
