Toy Review: 25th Edition Optimus Prime Set (Part 2)
The second part of this (slightly belated) review will cover the first issue of the Marvel "Transformers" comic series.
It feels like an expanded version of the first episode with a few more cool details. Ravage talks, which rocks. Some characters have vastly different designs most notably the frighteningly toy-accurate Ratchet and Ironhide, who lack heads. Not to mention Megatron's spiffy alternate color scheme. Charactarization is a fleshed out a bit more and more emphasis seems to be placed on the altmodes being disguises.
The Witwickys look very different and "Buster" is a bit older than Spike.
All in all this vintage issue is a fun bit of Transformers history and I'm definitely gonna buy paperbacks to continue the series. Fun stuff.
