Well after reading this issue, I feel really cheated. I'm disappointed that SF had to try and wrap all the loose ends in just four issues. Considering that the other -ation series took place over 6 issues and even that felt like not enough sometimes. As for having the magnificence being the tell all, this felt like something that might have been used in a cartoon episode, not a story written by Furman. Would it not have been more feasible if Prime had tried to perform some Vulcan mind link type thing by using the matrix to eaves drop on Nemesis? After all, he felt his presence during his download in infraspace?
I like the idea of using Straxus, a very under-rated decepticon in my view. Kinda strange, suddenly, the decepticons have all these mad scientists pop up (Straxus, Jhiaxus, Shockwave). When will the Technobots combine? They must have worked out the combination process by now?

You can tell that poor Mr F is beginning to struggle to get everything tied up in the issues that were given to him especially since he expected 12 issues to tie things up, not the 4 he was given. It's daft, we have Furman forced to condense stuff so it feels rushed, while the new comer has been given too much space and is dragging out AHM (2 issues and very little plot developement).
I have a feeling that all these bit parts that seem tacked on (Straxus and the other guy on Earth) would be more fleshed out with longer run. That said, this was still a strong issue, though I really really hope that the brief encounter between Prime and Prime wasn't the big fight....

I think they should stop these crossovers camero. I had enough of GI-TF crossovers.

Agreed, the Magnificence plot seemed like SF was forced to wrap things up in a much tighter format than originally planned. Plus an explanation on how Sixshot was turned a guardian wouldn´t have hurt, either. Apart from that, I´m thoroughly enjoying the first three books of Revelation.

I really enjoyed Spotlight Doubledealer. The cat and mouse with Dealer waiting for his moment to off Hot Rod, then getting paranoid, and finally having the tables turned was awesome. IDW should've given Furman 5 issues to tell this story, but he's doing a great job given the constraints. This is shaping up to be my favourite mini to date.
