The Autobot special ops crew, The Wreckers, are sent to investigate Garrus-9, a prison that fell to the Decepticons three years ago with no communication in or out since. Who’s really behind the prison siege, and what dark secret awaits Springer there? Writer/artist Nick Roche (Maximum Dinobots) does all the dirty work.
One month earlier, Overlord watches as Kick-Off battles the Decepticon Borehole in gladiatorial combat; the Autobot viciously beats his opponent, kicking him down. Borehole pleads with Kick-Off reminding him he's an Autobot. Kick-Off replies that being an Autobot means nothing on Garrus-9. With that, he rips Borehole's head off. Overlord is pleased and invites Kick-Off into his quarters, where he says Kick-Off may choose his reward. Read Full Review
"Last Stand of the Wreckers" #1 is a good start as Roche jumps between harsh, decadent, violent scenes and lighter, comedic ones that culminate in the two tones meeting head-on by the end. Longtime fans will be both surprised and happy with the final page of this issue, which is handled with enough skill to win over new readers as well. If the rest of the series follows through on the potential glimpsed here, "Last Stand of the Wreckers" may turn out to be a class Transformers story. Read Full Review
