geekwayne's review against another edition
3.0
Cybertron is a dying world, and the Dinobots are one of the few races around along with factions of Autobots and Insecticons. These factions don't seem to be getting along very well. After a series of strange incidents, Grimlock is sent to find out what happened. His investigation will lead him into areas of Cybertron where he is not welcome.
The whole thing plays a bit like a noir detective novel. The planet is dark and moody, the suspects are uncooperative, and Grimlock is more grouchy than likeable. When he discovers real dinosaurs on the planet, there are pretty great scenes of Grimlock fighting a real T-Rex.
It’s a different type of story for a Transformers book, but it’s got plenty of action. Art by Michael Gaydos and Beni Lobel is especially good. Apparently, the story takes place after season 2 of the animated series. I really liked the mood of the story and locations, and the fight scenes with real dinosaurs were pretty epic.
I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Diamond Book Distributors and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for letting me review this graphic novel.

Disclaimer: I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I did not receive any form of compensation.
Since I have always loved The Transformers from back in the 80s, I decided to save this one to read while I was in the hospital. I figured that it would be much easier to follow along a graphic novel then a regular novel.
Well, let me tell you, I have already reread it a few times! I absolutely love this one. First off, I have to say that I love the dinobots! So any story line that involves them is great. This one is well written. One of the things that I like is that it is a completely stand alone story line. It isn’t one where you have to watch certain episodes or read other comics or anything like that in order to understand where it takes place in the timeline. The place in the timeline is explained and the reader doesn’t even need to really know about the prior events to really appreciate this graphic novel.
The artwork was to die for! Ok, off to go read it again! I just can’t get enough of it.
