Now , he ’ll have to shore up even more resource for the challenges ahead .
The Autobots have had a rough go of thing since being revive in last October’sTransformers#1 . With their Energon scarce and facing constant attack from the Decepticons , Prime and his Autobots have constantly had their back to the rampart . This seems to still be the case inSkybound Entertainment ’s Modern prevue forTransformers#5 .

Optimus Prime Bears the Weight of the World In the NewTransformers
It ’s a powerful first step , and once more highlights the incredible emotional stakes that have been the hallmark of writer / creative person Daniel Warren Johnson ’s take on the enfranchisement . If there is a theme to this new era ofTransformers , then it ’s about unreconciled past injury . When readers meet Sparkplug in the first issue , he ’s shell out with posttraumatic stress disorder from his meter at warfare and gyrate from the death of his honest-to-goodness son . Once he ’s confront with the terror of the Transformers , Sparky ’s first reaction is to go to war , which results inSpike being grievously woundedinTransformers#3 .
Sparkplug ’s bow is contrasted well against Optimus Prime , who is locked in his own unending war . Even after one C of battle , Prime is still at a loss for words to explicate why conflict seems to be inevitable , no matter which planet you derive from . The only answer Prime can draw from his experience is how he ’s easy becoming the very thing he ’s imprecate to defend against . Now that he’sreplaced his correct subdivision with Megatron ’s , Prime is literally taking on look of his greatest enemy . Whether this affects him go forward remains to be seen , but Prime and the Autobots will still have a caboodle to overcome as the history progresses .
Will the Autobots Survive Against the Decepticons In the NewTransformers?
away from Prime and Sparky ’s bonding moment , the prevue also picks up the story of the Decepticons , which sees Starscream uprise his Sky Brother Thundercracker . Starscream ’s title of Decepticon leading is becoming more tenuous , peculiarly after thebrutal cannibalization of Skywarpin the previous issue . To hold on to his power , Starscream is going to even further lengths , with the solicits reading,“Starscream reanimate one of the most muscular Decepticons to extinguish the Autobots once and for all . ” MoreTransformersare appearing in every novel issue of theEnergon Universeseries , so fans will have to keep say to see who shows up next .
