Not just suplexed him, but did a lariat first, THEN suplex... Then Starscream had Prime in a submission hold!

I'm spoiled after IDW, I admit. The weird flex metal kitchen glove hands look so weird after Milne.

Okay, things are moving FAST. #2 is out, we get elaboration on how the transformers got to Earth (Including the note that in this setting, the great war only took 200 years to leave Cybertron wrecked), the cons move quickly, with Starscream clashing with the USAF and unknowingly having his first run-in with Duke of GI-JOE. And I have to say, I like this Optimus. Quickly comes to realize how fragile life on Earth is compared to Cybertron (After stepping on a deer!), bonds with Spike and finds common elements between them, and quickly springs into action when the 'cons make explosions.

I already feel more for him by issue two than I ever did for IDW Prime in his entire run. He is just heart broken he stepped on that deer.

I saw someone post the full page scan on Twitter X with Prime stepping on the deer scene. To my knowledge THIS is the first time in ever that Prime is actually confronted by how fragile organic life can be and we actually get to share this moment with him and it's a moment of connection between Prime and the audience that hasn't happened in a long while. I actually like this and it makes suck even more that we don't have any local comic shops to pick this up. Hopefully they will do trades eventually so I can pick some up.

Well, it's Skybound... Image's largest and more profitable imprint. They've not only already announced collections, but reprints of IDW stuff too. (Apparently Kirkman is a huge fan of the IDW stuff, particularly Windblade.)

And it contrasts so much with Starscream and Skywarp, who are delighting in pointless cruelty towards humans. Then you have Optimus grieving for an animal killed by accident. It shows the difference between the two sides so well. Hell, the same applies to Cliffjumper, who is more than a little freaked by all this organic stuff, but then he takes a breath and deals with it (with a little push from Carly)

Man, if Prime is this upset over one deer, wait until somebody tells him what those splats on his windshield are after he's been on the freeway.

So, issue 4 preview is up before issue 3 is out. Nice work guys... But more importantly, I'm going to note that the plot continues to move briskly, and the action scene includes some brilliant use of alt-modes. I approve!
