Just as I predicted. Prime’s Autobots vs Elita’s autobots and Soundwave’s decepticons vs. Starscream’s decepticons. I’m all in for it!!!

[@Blastertronus]

I swear, Elita-1 is being built up to be this universe’s equivalent of IDW Prowl. Also Warpath’s survival was is very surprising and a very welcomed one at that.

[@alderkm7901]

Both factions breaking down over the desperation of their situations, of how the war turned out, of everyone being scattered. It really shows how Optimus is trying to be the last bastion of morals during an incredibly brutal war. Meanwhile, we see others starting to mobilize in the other comics of the Engergon Universe.

[@Raptermonster24]

They kept hinting at Trailbreaker so I really hope they actually revive him for the final arc as it would be hilarious if he is brought back just to be overpowered compared to everyone else as they hinted at him so much so I am praying we get more of him

[@SquawkingtheTalk]

Trailbreaker joining the fight would be hella overpowered

[@Sergeant-101]

Yes! My man's, warpath survived. YES!! For one: Yes!! For two: on how he survived. It's because his a literal tank. I'm not kidding, his alt-mode is a [Censored] tank.

[@saltywaffles2802]

YES!! Im so happy he’s back… but also we DEFINITELY saw his entire body combust

[@Karlos1234ify]

“They literally call themselves deceptions. That doesn’t set off any red flags”

[@dXOHOXb]

Now that i know optimus has his 'berserk' mode could be coming from the matrix, it would makes sense cuz i think the soul of sparky embedded human emotion in optimus like it's his new breaking point, opposing from optimus' true patient personality

[@Struffert20]

I also had a thought that since Sparky was a soldier… Prime might be experiencing PTSD?

[@ThyBigCheddar]

I think the visions of sparky's life are coming from the matrix but then becoming corrupt is from Megatron's arm

[@Afanof1]

I really hope Thundercracker becomes an autobots

[@Frostwave-v2l]

Me too. and he might if he finds out it was starscream and soundwave that almost killed skyworp.

That brings a smile on my face. Can't keep a tank down for long.

[@smileysuburban8146]

hopefully he gets to do his vocalizations later on. KABLAM!

[@meteorknight999]

Most logical outcome, many autobots don't subscribe to Optimus ideology. People keep forgetting majority of the autobots wanted war too. Sentinel grimlock basically the war bot faction. Sad megatron gets all the blame altho cause he lit the small spark

[@CoolSkeleton95-t9d]

In the next issue:combiner chaos! Autobots vs Decepticons vs Bruticus! Also, rip Ramjet. You were my favourite:(

[@JoseHernandez-xv2bt]

Dude didn’t even get a single line, what a shame

[@TheWarmachine375]

6:19 Wow, Elita-1 blaming Optimus for starting the war yet it was Megatron who did it long before the two were even involved. Plus she and Optimus were dock workers back then prior to being rebuilt and upgraded by Alpha Trion after Megatron shot them for getting in his way.

[@syd91]

That’s their G1 Sunbow cartoon origin. Though Skybound is inspired by G1, it’s its own continuity that has yet to reveal the full origins of these characters and how the war really started

[@TheWarmachine375]

@@syd91 Fair enough. I wouldn't be surprised if they would go with Optimus Prime and Megatron being formerly brothers theme.

[@Legends_of_Omniscius]

Lazerbeak is going to vomit up star screams eye and give it to megatron I'm calling it.

[@silverzealot3421]

Oh poor ramjet His gonna being 'PRIME CLIFFJUMPERED'

[@whoIsV]

I think there is going to be a neutral faction consisting of Thundercracker, Ultra Magnus, Arcee and Beachcomber. What will be their role will be difficult to articulate to not make them too inclined to one particular side.

First IDW and now Skybound, I swear Ramjet exist just to immediately die.

[@JoseHernandez-xv2bt]

Hey at least he got to live in TF one

[@benyork2593]

Transformers comics need to be constantly killing off characters to keep the stakes of the war high. Unfortunately, this leads to less popular characters like cliffjumper and the coneheads being introduced just to die. Skybound has tried to remedy this by doing things such as killing bumblebee and keeping cliffjumper alive, but it seems ramjet still is getting the shorthand of the stick.

[@MatthewLoh-ru1mw]

I know, right?!

[@renjisuniverse3112]

I was so pissed elita survived but this chapter was easily 10/10

[@maddisoneastough4928]

Starscream putting Brawl before himself for repairs? I mean, sure it's probably just because he needed Bruticus, but Idk. I just feel like he's doing something nice for once. I may be wrong, but that is how I see it. Plus, I just love that moment, when Starscream rushed passed Optimus, like he didn't even notice him and OP is like... what? It got me laughing so hard, til my sides hurt. Someone has to make a meme out of that. 🤣🤣🤣 And it's super nice to see Bluestreak again, as he's one of my fave Autobots. I don't think we get to see him as much in TF Media anymore, he may underrated. Thank you, Daniel Warren Johnson. ♥ 🤣

[@smileysuburban8146]

I mean, considering screamer’s probably fused and one with the mars tank lower body, its easier to just make brawl have new legs than separate himself from the tank + having bruticus is a MASSIVE advantage like you said.

[@MatthewLoh-ru1mw]

Me too. I lol'ed at THAT panel/moment

[@derekhughes8318]

great review thanks very much

[@grimlock5990]

I agree lazerbeak is going after Megatron. it parallels the search for magnus.

[@CarlsCollection]

I don’t think the Megatron theory is dead. Don’t count that out yet. Feeling it’s a combination of Sparky & Megatron effect. Also, I suspect Trailbreaker is fine, protected by his force field.

[@SwizzPrime]

Yea after rereading it again today I think the theory isn't dead yet. Also I don't know if trailbreaker was even brought online yet so who knows if he is fully dead or not. Hopefully not! He was one of my favs in the og cartoon!

[@dylanwebb8567]

For that panel at 0:34, its interesting how Soundwave was shaded purple and the back of his cannon was lit yellow, lining it up in the center of his silhouette. It almost made him resemble Shockwave.

[@saltywaffles2802]

ya know i feel a lot of people are mad at elita, AND DONT GET ME WRONG SHE IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE, but i feel a lot r missing the point and saying she’s poorly written… i think at this point it’s clear, Elita-1 is going to be some kind of antagonist, and honestly, i can completely understand why she’s doing things, not in a sympathetic way but more like a villian way ya know. she honestly has every right to be mad at optimus. he basically left them for over 100 years. BUT she clearly has taken this WAYYYY too far (also not counting that optimus always just wanted peace and elita has pretty much whipped her metal ass cheeks with)

[@saltywaffles2802]

TL:DR i think she is a great, understandable yet equally disgusting and hatable villian

[@Cole-g2m]

I'm interested to see Elita getting to see what she wants from Optimus in his Berserker mode.

[@smileysuburban8146]

probably just thinks he needs to stay that way to end the war through immense slaughtering of the cons no matter the cost

[@Jowanji]

I wanna see grimlock so bad oh my days. Also i think this how the timeline is: void rivals takes place just a bit after optimus is first revived and before elitas squad gets gunned down i believe hotrod and springer were sent out to find reinforcements or the decepticons chased them from cybertron

[@SwizzPrime]

that would make the most sense timeline wise! also yes bro I need the dinobots like yesterday!

[@AltGreen]

the green cables in the spike flashback look quintession like i’m not saying it could be influenced by quintessions but weird coincidence

[@MrDCWood]

Well, we have Starscream’s Brigade! Needless to say, I’m excited about this, as Starscream’s Brigade is both one of the greatest G1 episodes AND Starscream stories of all time. But this telling of the classic tale may make these renditions of Starscream and the Combaticons even deadlier. In the original G1 cartoon, Starscream essentially blackmailed the Combaticons into servitude after he created them. In this continuity, he saved their lives & reunited them. He earned their loyalty, and the Combaticons in turn, have every reason to despise Soundwave after hearing him plotting against Shockwave. This is gonna be SO good!

[@MatthewLoh-ru1mw]

Me too, I second this!!!! And yes, I loved that episode thst as well (Starscream's Brigade)

[@whoIsV]

That panel with Thundercracker gave me the chills.

[@greenvrld7730]

Glad warpath is alive, I do hope kup comes back somehow, I always like that veteran autobot solider

[@BlueInferno1547]

I’m really happy to see Bluestreak and I it really makes sense that he would be in skybound you for his backstory

[@cogrunner6763]

I wouldn't put the Megatron theory to rest as seeing some of the berserker rage Optimus has is not possibly caused by the matrix

[@SwizzPrime]

Let's hope! I really am a fan of this theory!

[@justinsullivan8250]

I honestly was not expecting this issue to be this good. Why do I bother thinking one of these issues is gonna be a miss?

[@SwizzPrime]

yea it's crazy how the story keeps ramping up and up!

[@MatthewLoh-ru1mw]

The beginning of the issue felt like All hail Megatron but minus Megs himself. The part where the humans attack Prime and his group is lot like Mike Costa's IDW run where the humans also attack the Autobots thinking they are Decepticons

[@batman369able]

Heres hoping Thundercracker pulls a Spider-Man

[@arvinrufo7061]

I pray that Trailbreaker is ok...

[@ENOURMOUSSCALE]

Nah the megatron theory is not dead cuz I don’t think the interaction with sparky and the matrix did anything

[@calebmorales9318]

Autobots that will get revived predictions: Ironhide Brawn prowl sunstreaker, sideswipe, windcharger hound Mirage gears I don’t know you guys let me know what characters they should revive for the autobots. I don’t think Trailbreaker is dead, I think the second he got brought back. He got horrifically damaged in that explosion when star screams Deceptacon‘s along with soundwaves Deceptacon‘s attack

[@isplat927]

I don’t know about Brawn considering in the free comic day special, Megatron blew a hole into his chest.

[@calebmorales9318]

@ oh yeah, forgot about that. But since the machine at the dam got destroyed, that’s not their only way of repairing their fallen soldiers they have skywarp on the ark so maybe they could have him bring back the rest of the crew. and have Optimus tell thundercracker, what starscream soundwave did to skywarp

[@MatthewLoh-ru1mw]

Brawn is dead. Megs blew a hole right through his chest in the Energon Universe special
