Transformers #10 keeps raising the threat level against the Autobots. Every time it seems like they're making some headway, the Decepticons stack the deck against them all over again. This could make for a depressing read, but Johnson and company are doing an excellent job of conveying the perpetual uphill battle the Autobots face. Read Full Review
Transformers #10 is purely incredible from beginning to end. There is no comic book that is hitting on an emotional or action level like this series. Daniel Warren Johnson and Jorge Corona take the Autobots vs Decepticons war to another level with this issue. The developments here could very well be felt across the Energon Universe. It all creates greater excitement to find out what will happen next in this series. Read Full Review

Transformers #10 delivers a character-driven issue that sets up big things for the upcoming climax. While we learn more about the history of the Autobots, we also see just how evil the Decepticons can be. This is an issue that can't be missed. Read Full Review
Through a new Transformers perspective, the war from Cybertron gets new light in another strong chapter. Johnson continues to push the Autobots past their breaking points with phenomenal writing. Corona, Spicer and Wooten give readers much to be entranced with as the artwork brings out many emotions. This series continues to be the talk on NCBD for good reason. Read Full Review
A seriously intense and gripping entry that pulls out every stop imaginable to show this run is NOT screwing around. Read Full Review
TRANSFORMERS #10 is another strong entry in the series with a backstory on Beachcomber's whereabouts, an emotional rollercoaster for the Autobot camp, and a massive cliffhanger. Daniel Warren Johnson's knack for creating powerful and complex moments is on full display, and the art team's output is stellar, but the Beachcomber portions of this issue are a little odd.

Transformers #10 is another fantastic issue in a series that has delivered with every release. It's great for longtime fans and friendly for those that are new as well. It's a great comic that's part of a fantastic shared Energon Universe. It's one that you can look forward to every release and know you'll be entertained and surprised. Read Full Review
The comic is getting a little too overloaded with new characters (though it's probably not a problem for longtime Transformers fans), but it remains an exciting and entertaining read with great art and strong character moments. Read Full Review
By the issue's end it's clear that the worst is yet to come and the stunning depiction of both action and character combined make that terrible future seem irresistible. Read Full Review
This series maintains has maintained a level of quality longer than I thought was possible. Even this issue, which has less plot development than previous issues, gives us fantastic glimpse into a few characters.
This issue was a bit slower than most as it lacks the die-hard action and suspense we've grown to expect from it, but at least what's happening is relevant to the storyline rather than the boring slice of life crap Marvel and DC like to use for filler when they run out of ideas and the characters just sit and eat (for some reason they're very big on making scenes where their characters are pigging out these days, especially Spider-Man) and talk.
I'm real glad Johnson is staying for another year longer than originally planned and sure hope he'll change his mind and stay longer after #24, where he plans to depart. Few writers can keep us satisfied this long without an Optimus Prime/Megatron smashout yet. Though I have a funny feeling he more
What felt like was winding down is picking back up here. I was worried that this series was losing steam as much as I have enjoyed every issue but after taking a small break it's just as engaging. Stakes are high, I think what has been missing is the emotional factor coming from the humans as they've been mostly background characters that added weight. This focus on Cybertron with the flashbacks and somber tones from every Autobot left them feeling a little flat. What carries this second arc are entirely the Decepticons and their unrelenting pursuit of Cyberton's salvation.
A nice start to the second half of this arc. This was a bit slower compared to the last issue and there wasn’t as much here for me to latch onto. That said, this was still good and Corona had some awesome pages.
I think by issue #12 I'll be off of this title. The first six issues were phenomenal; since then, it's been a dip in quality. I love Jorge Corona's art in this, but I do think that DWJ's writing in this second half of his run is nowhere near the heights of his first six issues.
Maybe I'm just not meant for this book, but besides the art and ending I just didn't feel engaged with this book. I really felt the series was clicking for me for the first handful of issues and some more , but I just feel a little tired of the cheesy dialogue.
