It gets better when you get hints of Cybertron in Stormbringer. I feel bad for remembering the early "-ation" series by Furman as being dull. It's not and it's got it's own internal sensibility that makes the humans compelling--eventually.

The highlights for me though are really Spotlight:Kup and Ramjet. The Ramjet special is just really amusing, the Kup issue though, wow, Nick Roche is just really good at everything to do with the franchise.

The rest is okay, but pales in comparison to Roche's issue and the Barber, Roberts series that would come much later in the continuity. ( )
