Just going to make some notes here.
Spolier-tags? Meh, sure, what the hell...
SPOILER! (select to read)More thoughts on it later.Bulkhead - He gets a little time in the spotlight. I haven't much to say about him other than he's the gentle, but not so gentle, giant...with a deep, sexy voice.
Fowler has some serious brass. The guy is certainly devoted to his work. I loved that little exchange with Starscream. Despite the whole police chief shtick, I just might grow to like him.
This series' Starscream continues to please me. God, he's a magnificent bastard!
Soundwave is...well, kinda creepy. Was that supposed to be Ratbat?
All that talk about worlds being seeded with energon is familiar territory. Spotlight: Shockwave naturally comes to mind (though it's certainly not unique to that story). Regardless of the inspiration, in this case I like how Prime is building on a previous concept, and I think it works well here.
