    Some aspects of the IDW/Hasbroverse, like G.I. JOE, seem forced and trite in combination with the Transformers but Rom The Space Knight and his world are a far better fit for the "Robots In Disguise". Read Full Review

    "Rom Vs Transformers: Shining Armor" #1 is the first bold example to make an argument for the existence of IDW's shared Hasbro Universe. Read Full Review

    I enjoyed this issue much more than I thought. Rom and the Transformers on paper seem like a natural combination but in the hands of Gage, Barber and Miline you have a bonafide hit. Read Full Review

    Wow, this is just great storytelling, straight-up. I was thinking of skipping this series given how craptacular Revolution and Revolutionaries has been, but I have to give a big thanks to ComicBookRoundup for cultivating the positive reviews that convinced me otherwise. I found it easy to suspend disbelief and accept that the Solstar Knights have always been hanging out at the fringes of the Transformers universe. If you are a fan of any other Transformers comics that IDW has put out over the years, then I highly recommend checking out this issue. It fits in nicely with the established Transformers continuity and you don't have to be a ROM fan to understand what is going on. In fact, you don't have to be an avid Transformers reader eith more
