Personally, I think this is a wonderful start to this series. I was a bit wary when I heard that the series was going to start out highlighting the Constructicons, but my fears have certainly been assuaged.

Bleszinski does well with the Constructicons' beginnings, though right now the only ones who stand out are Hook and Scrapper.
