Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye Volume 6 by James Roberts

4.0

"It's got giant robots fighting - how bad can it be?" were the quickly forgotten words I said to the friendly staff at my local comic shop when someone mentioned the "Real Steal" movie. Machines punching machines! Other than "Short Circuit 2" (the last time a movie made me cry) robots fighting can only ever be a good, good thing. In homage to this axiom, I tag any Transformers comics I read with "giantrobotsfighting". How pretentiously reductive! The "Dark Cybertron" crossover was alright but to be honest, there was far too much of the robots punching robots. This volume brings things back on track and has plenty of robots talking and making jokes and finding out more about who they are and what they mean to each other. All of the good stuff that I've come to expect from James Roberts writing these characters. I don't remember much about what happened (it's been a few days, a few drinks and I tend to have a poor memory for the things I read) but I remember how it made me feel, which was damn good. Damn good!
