Crashed on an alien world, hunted by Decepticons and Dire Wraiths alike, Rom VS Transformers issue 3 calls on the protagonists – the Autobots and Rom’s Solstar Knights – to set aside their differences and work together, in a fundamental part of any great team up! Check out the preview of the upcoming issue care of Newsarama, with art by fan-favorite artist Alex Milne and writing by Transformers: Optimus Prime ongoing writer John Barber and Christos Gage!

I subscribbled. The art is so amazing. All the details and expressions. Star Drive looks so sad all the time.

Stardrive'll probably survive and choose to stick with the Solstar order, probably get re-assigned galaxies away from any major region of conflict between Autobots and Decepticons. She'll end up just one of the many unique friends Bumblebee made over the course of the war.
Also, they referred to the cadet Sata as she, which made me mildly surprised since I've been reading her lines with Steve Blum's voice for the first two issues. Dunno about you folks, just an observation of mine on the preview. Can't wait to read the whole thing!
Yeah, it better! But why wouldn't it?

Thanks
I wasn't interested in this at all. But now I might want to rethink that.
edit:
For 1,79€ per issue I just bought them both

Rom Vs. Transformers is set around 200 years ago. Bumblebee and an extremely trigger-happy Ultra Magnus vs. Starscream's Seeker Squad/Dire Wraith unholy alliance vs. Rom and the Solstar Order, art aside (which is, of course, bloody fantastic) the first two issues have been great.

Oh, that looks good. Is that a flashback or why is Bumblebee there? Has anyone read that already? I might be tempted, the art looks great. Reminds me of good times

I hope this comes out in a paperback. Haven't gotten comics since the LCS shut down several years ago but everything I've seen from this comic is amazing.

It's pretty much guaranteed at this point. She's too likable for her own good.

sooo great, everything she says to rom is word for word what i thought she should say to him after reading #1, that made just the preview so full filling already for me. love how despite how above others he acts, rom is reminded that he does not understand everything, and how the women knight is called out for her bloodthirstiness, which even rom seems off put by. i am scared this will all end with stardrives death but hold out hope that it might serve as an intro gor her into the present day events/story.

It's a bit silly, but Rom explains it in the next panel. He figures that before a species achieves interstellar travel, they usually figure their internal stuff out first. He believes that interstellar travel is the result of a united world's combined efforts, and never once considered that a civilization's technology could advance to the level of being spacefaring while being divided.
You know how in old episodes of Star Trek, someone has to like, explain to Picard what "money" was back in the 20th century? And he's just like "buh! money! how absurd! good thing we evolved past such a silly concept!" It's like that.

So let me get this straight. The Solstar Order, an empire of several sapient species, is unfamiliar with the concept of factions? I mean, I know they\'re aliens, but COME ON.

It sucks that Stardrive will probably die by the end of this. She's an interesting character.
