Celebrating 25 years of Beast Wars! The Maximals, led by Optimus Primal, and the Predacons, led by Megatron, have crashed on a strange new world and they are not alone.

Two issues into the series and Burcham and Burnham are already telling a nice reboot that honoursBeast Warsfor its 25th anniversary. There are plenty of familiar aspects, but neither of them are afraid to deviate to add in new parts to the mythology for new readers or to give longtime fans a fresher experience. It is definitely worth it to pick upBeast Wars #2and join along for the ride. Read Full Review
Transformers: Beast Wars #2continues to shape the new era of Beast Wars, clearly drawing the lines between Maximals and Predacons. Considering where the issue ends, both factions may end up doing battle sooner than expected-in effect, kicking off the titular Beast Wars. Read Full Review

The Beast Wars have begun! The Maximals and the Predacons have crash landed on a strange new planet. Not only do they have to worry about each other, they must worry about what or who surrounds them. They will soon find out that they are not alone. In order to figure out how to survive the new planet, as well as each other, they have to explore their surroundings while learning about their all new Beast Modes.
In this second issue of Beast Wars, we are introduced to a more
It was a really fun issue! Can't wait for the next one
While not as strong as the debut issue, it's much more intriguing. The story is already going in its own direction, bringing in elements from much later in the Beast Wars for more cohesion even if it's not as well written as I would've liked.
What is by far the best part of the issue, aside from the art which I've gotten used to since #1, is the character dynamics. From old favourites like Dinobot and Tarantulas to the newly added characters such as Nyx.
Recommended, Yeeessss.
Not as good as the first but im still willing to see where it goes.
Unlike the original series, we get a look behind the scenes early on to make better sense of the grand experiment happening on Earth.
The artwork still bothers me though. Some characters, Scorponok and Optimus Primal in particular, are practically unrecognizable.
