Blackrock, effectively sacrificing Circuit Breaker!
(it's great how Furman's even managed to bring the best human characters back at the end! Full circle.)

Huh. Something just ate Runabout....
Ok. Wow. Can't process. That the single greatest comic episode I ever read.
I'm going to lay down for a bit...

I remain in a state of awe and shock. It was breath-taking.
Waaaaay better than Transformers: The Movie. This should have been the movie.

Read it TWICE more today. Can't move passed it.
It's so good. It's so amazing.
The BEST Transformers writer. The BEST Transformers artist. The BEST Transformers story....
UNICRON
Still just utterly stunned by that episode.
But... a few gripes....
Hi-Q should have been seen way more than he was, as Blue' suggested. Bit of a plot gap.
No Ultra Magnus, no Fortress Maximus... Big name Autobots, missing!
We've (brilliantly) got all the big 'Cons involved in one way or another!
Well... apart from...
MEGATRON.
I know he had the whole Pretender Classics plot arch, which was BRILLIANT. But I felt he could have been there at the end. Maybe. Or would that have taken something away from Scorponok's emotional death...?
I dunno what I'm talking about really...
I FREAKIN' LOVED IT!!!
Tomorrow, onwards. Prowl's on the cover, and Blue' said he's in it. So I'm expecting lots of Prowl.
He may even flip a few tables.

#76 was my first US Transformers comic! It completely spoiled the end of #75 for me many months ahead of its UK reprint, but I still have a soft spot for it*. These next few issues defined Prowl's personality for me.
* so much of what is good about #75 isn't the ending anyway, so no big problem

It's good isn't it!!!!!!!
The HI-Q thing is the only bit I felt was a misstep, I mean when was the last time he was in the book. And he had dialogue but was off-panel (you see his face on the last page though, he's the guy watching Runabout get eaten)
Magnus was never really a character in the US issues, pretty much just UK only apart from that one season 3 story they adapted.
Max was mentioned as the 'Transformer life sign split in two' that the Dinobots noticed when scanning Earth (obv picking up Spike). At that point, Spike had quit being his head and left to live his life in uh, issue 51
