Decepticons Humans

Quotes

"I've always hated machines. The ones that make you stronger. The ones that make you more vulnerable."

—Spike Witwicky doing an impression of Captain Fanzone.


"And green. Really. That has to be the stupidest color for a "disguise"..."

—Spike Witwicky taunting Constructicon Scrapper.


"I wanted to show you that one of us can beat you. No lasers. None of your technology. Just a solution that can be made out of stuff anyone would have in their kitchen."

—Spike Witwicky ruining all the fun by emasculating the entire Cybertronian race.


Errors

  • Spike, a military officer, is evidently able to abandon his post and pursue Decepticons single-handed as part of a personal vendetta. One would think this kind of behaviour would be frowned upon in the notoriously rigid military structure most armies have, but guess having a dad for a general can be pretty useful.

Items of note

  • This is the first issue of the ongoing series (or any previous series) to not feature any prominent Transformer robots. The story mainly focuses on Spike Witwicky and a robot isn't even seen until page 17.
  • This issue continues IDW's apparent belief that humans are way, way more awesome than the Transformers are. This follows up on Spotlight: Prowl, where humans' inherent greatness causes Prowl to drop his emotionless, ruthless personality in favour of idiotic self-sacrifice.
