I just read Parts 1-5 in one swoop. And I thoroughly enjoyed this action-packed series. The artwork by Alex Milne was excellent as usual. And the characterizations were extremely accurate. For example, I love the fact that Starscream failed because he spent too much precious time scheming. The Dire Wraith leader quickly recognized that Starscream's weakness was his huge ego. And immediately began his manipulation of Starscream. It made me understand why Megatron, and not Starscream, is Decepticon Leader. Megatron would've instantly realized how dangerous the Wraiths were, and destroyed everyone. Seizing the energon synthesizer as a result.

Starscream saying \"Lad\" as in \"friend\" is wierd.

I remember way back how I was bitching about how much this was gonna suck and how Stardrive was gonna be a total sue, but instead this crossover turned out great and I hope Stardrive becomes a regular character.

Sad to see this series go, but at least Optimus Prime seems to be picking up some its ideas and concepts, so it'll live on in some form or another.
That Cronenberg Magnus is awesome. I'd love to see him up against Minimus Ambus.
And yes, I'm officially coining Cronenberg Magnus. That is his name now. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

I for one am upset the ending of the last Optimus issue spoiled the ending of this. Still, it's a fun read.
