Time is running out! Orion Pax, his friends, and the Autobot security forces have to get a grip on their murder investigations as their superior, Sentinel Prime, makes his return to Cybertron! Secrets are revealed as loyalties shift! Sentinel Prime and his diplomatic entourage return!
We get to see the faces of a few new characters in this issue as well. And a few other characters are simply mentioned. This gives me hope that we'll see even more characters in the future. Personally, I'm still waiting for one of my favorite characters to be added to the cast but despite his absence, the current trend of adding a couple of new characters each issue makes me have no doubt he'll show up at some point. Overall, this was a fun issue. We get a lot more action and see just what the extremists have been up to beneath the memorial. Read Full Review
Transformers #9was another step in the right direction as Ruckley and Hernandez delivered a pretty solid fight between multiple bots and made some significant strides in the story's central mystery. Some dots are beginning to connect now and Ruckley is doing a good job of making those connections while raising the intrigue up a couple degrees. While we have to wait another issue to meet Sentinel Prime and Starscream, hopefully the extra weight will be worth it but for nowTransformersis on the right track again. Read Full Review
