What they got right: The art and style are consistent with the cartoon. I do love seeing what Cybertron is like in the Animated Universe, and anytime somebody wants to let Blitzwing and Lugnut take each other out (although if I had to choose the survivor, it would be Blitzwing, as Lugnut makes me want to scrap him) is doing fine with me.
What they got wrong: One review for the newsgroups said he would have liked the first story to be the dominant one, as the "backup" is actually longer. Frankly, I didn't think we needed the backup story. Looney Tunes did it much better. (They had Daffy, after all.) Watching Optimus take part in survival training would have been a far more interesting story on it's own, which made have made the surprise (if we hadn't seen it before) ending more interesting. At least it doesn't feel like a cop-out.
Recommendation: Don't lose any sleep if you miss this issue, but as an obsessed Transformers comic fan I kind of like having it.
