The epic battles between Optimus Prime and Megatron have long thrilled Transformers fans. But these two giants werent always great leaders and bitter foes. This new novel continues the electrifying saga that started with Transformers: Exodus, unveiling the origins of the conflictthe explosive events that unfolded before Optimus and Megatron arrived Earthside, forever altering the destiny of their kind. Once allies, Optimus and Megatron are now enemies in a civil war. To prevent Cybertron from falling into Megatrons hands, Optimus jettisons the planets heart, the AllSpark, into space, then sets out to find it with Megatron hot on his heels. Optimus is determined to defeat Megatron, bring the AllSpark home, and restore Cybertron to its former glory. But a saboteur lurks aboard Optimuss spaceship, and ahead lie lost colonies, some of them hostile. Optimus needs help of the highest caliber, but from whom? Heroes such as Solus, Nexus, and Vector Prime are just names from make-believe stories of long ago. Or are they? Maybe its time for Optimus Prime to find out. Maybe its the only chance he has to vanquish mighty Megatron.

Mehso-so

Alright. While I really enjoyed the plot -knew the characters well, too- the pace never picked up. The story was fascinating to read, yet they didn‘t really get anywhere. Stopped on this planet, then the next.. searching for a mythical weapon to help them get the AllSpark. The whole book focused on Optimus V Megatron. Only them. What made it a long read for me was the way the author told the story. So oddly paced and low energy for action scenes

Spelling error! Pretty sure that should be “hurry”... Either way, now I‘m stuck on imaging a decepticon named Harry. Just Harry. Just like toasters. It‘s the second small error in the last few pages here at the end of the book. Interesting. #transformers

He had made his choice, Starscream had, and now he was biting his time until the moment came when he could assume control of the Decepticons at last. Then, perhaps, would be the time to talk with the Autobots from a position of strength. For now he was a Decepticon, and he would cooperate with Megatron as long as long as their goals coincided. Interesting to see Screamer thinking like this outside of the films #transformers

Too many what ifs. Remember, Optimus Prime told himself, when there are too many variables, decide on the outcome you want and act to make it happen. #transformers

Omg Wreck-Gar is as funny/annoying as ever. Love how it follows the old time 1986 movie. I love the story of the autobots leaving Cybertron in search of the AllSpark with the decpricons on their trail. Although, it‘s really hard to stay motivated because the characters only ever “said” or “asked”. I thrive on describing words, and there barely any in their manners of speech. #transformers

“Oh no.” Jazz said, “Your own words, turned against you. That‘ll teach you to talk, Ironhide.” #transformers
