Shattered Glass isn't your average Transformers tale... "Shards" is the story of the ongoing battle between the power-hungry Autobot autocrats and the freedom-fighting Decepticon laborers. Join author Danny Lore (James Bond, King in Black: Captain America, Champions) in exploring this fractured alternate universe just before it shatters.
In issue #2, Megatron is the only bot who can stop the three Autobot warlords from acquiring information that could reignite the war, but can he forgive his past mistakes and take up the mantle of Deception leader again
A second issue that's even better than the first, doing a great job at re-contextualizing these characters' traits in a morally flipped world. Read Full Review
Transformers: Shattered Glass #2 feels like the big picture tour of the “Shattered Glass” world. It teases the big picture but rushes through events. It's an interesting miniseries focusing on a character at a time instead of focusing in on one. There's a lot here to work with and hopefully this is just the start to something more. For those who have been excited for this, they may find it a bit lacking from what they wanted but it shows a lot of potential for many stories to come. Read Full Review
This is shaping up to be a good mini so far, and I was already looking forward to it.
I like that the writer made it so Megatron isn't a standard heroic leader but rather having a more cynical/reserved attitude. Still allows us to have the classic Megatron and Starscream dynamic of an old married couple.
This issue shifts focus to this parallel universe's version of Starscream and Megatron, who are pretty awesome. This Megatron has the same drive to right perceived injustices, but he's much more selfless in his approach.
