When MEGATRON falls in battle, STARSCREAM assumes the role of DECEPTICON leader on Earth. Mustering his surviving allies, he sets out to put his own plan in motion.

Picking up where the film ended, “The Reign of Starscream” also reveals the fates of other surviving film characters, as writer Chris Mowry and artist Alex Milne present a tale of intrigue, betrayal, and dark ambition featuring both old and all-new TRANSFORMERS characters.

Not sure if I'll bother with the re-print of the Prime Spotlight... 3D is kind of a cool idea, but it would have been nice if they had picked a better issue to do it in. I guess they had to go with Prime since he's the flagship character.

It's also packed full of robots-twatting-each-other goodness (well, I say goodness, I mean more two robots in tensed poses dropped into one frame on Photoshop, seeing as IDW seem to have some sort of house rule precluding fight scenes from being dynamic), and drawn by Dreamy Don. That's both checkboxes for marketing old tat at fanboys.
