A murdered Decepticon leads Prowl and Arcee to Bombshell, who also has Dirge under control of his cerebro-shell. During his investigation Prowl goes on and on about Spike and why he hates him so much, especially after he murdered a Construction. Speaking of the Constructicons, Blurr comes across them and it’s not going to go well for him.
What they got right: It’s a good look into Prowl’s head as he investigates the murder.
What they got wrong: I can’t say why without ruining the story, but I will say Prowl comes off as a hypocrite. I don’t like IDW’s version of Prowl or Arcee and this story is a good spotlight on why.
Recommendation: I may not like the way they write Prowl and Arcee, but they’re decent enough characters in a pretty good story. Worth at least taking a look at.
“See, looks much better.”
