Ironhide welcomes another civilian, a former Decepticon named Sky-Bite that Prowl is more than willing to use in his continued pursuit of Dirge.
What they got right: There’s an exploration of what it means to be an Autobot or a Decepticon in this post-war period and Ironhide and Sky-Bite (a fan favorite from the OTHER “Robots In Disguise” series–personally I favored Sideburn) are the right characters to use towards that goal.
What they got wrong: While this version of Prowl is well written, I still don’t like this version of Prowl.
Recommendation: It’s still not the Transformers story I want, but they’ve killed any chance of that story being told. What they’re giving us isn’t too bad and a least worth a look.
Especially the way IDW writes him.
