Jul 08, 2026Transformers #34 does a good job of setting up where we are going with the Bots left on Earth. The different threads of the story look like they will be the roots of what will happen over the next issues. This issue is a little slower than what we’ve become accustomed to, but that’s not a bad thing as it does a great job of laying groundwork for the future. Transformers continues to be one of the best and most consistent titles on the shelf every month and should definitely not be overlooked. Read Full Review

Jul 08, 2026Transformers 34 is another unpredictable installment of the series with at least one casualty. Kirkman has certainly amassed an impressive body count since taking over the title, but the no one is safe vibe cuts both ways if readers can’t get invested in characters before they’re unceremoniously killed off the next issue.

Jul 08, 2026Transformers #34 continues the walking tour of assorted Autobots when Optimus teams up with General Flagg, Thundercracker seeks to make a grand gesture, and Shredhead gets himself into trouble. The bits and pieces are fine, but that’s what this comic reads like – just bits and pieces. Read Full Review

Transformers #34 felt a little like filler. Lots of conversations that hopefully are laying the groundwork for what is to come. Way too much focus has been given to Optimus no longer being a Prime and it’s getting stretched a bit too far, sort of just page filler. They did drop in a factoid that I don’t think had been mentioned before - Spike’s deceased brother was an astronaut? That’s pretty convenient, seeing as Spike now hangs out with robots from space. There is some nice random action with Cliffjumper and Shredhead, but it was maybe a little too random. As the cover suggests the story introduces Transformers Generation One cartoon villain Doctor Arkeville, and I have to ask why? With Transformers, Void Rivals, G.I. Joe, and now M.A.S.K more

This comic has been on a steady decline since Kirkman took over. It's convoluted, boring and all over the place. Who is doctor henri arkeville? Who fucking cares.
