Transformers: Requiem of the Wreckers—SPOTLIGHT Nick Roche (w) • Nick Roche, Guido Guidi, & Geoff Senior (a) • Nick Roche (c) Wreck & Rule! They’ve been beaten up, torn apart, betrayed, and had their sins revealed. The few remaining Wreckers are more lost and lonelier than they’ve ever been, which makes it the perfect time for them to come under fire from an anti-Cybertronian campaigner and an old foe! Remember them fondly, because this is the “Requiem of the Wreckers.”  |

Is this a series or a one-shot?

Might give this a go. Like "Last Stand...", but found that the followup series didn't do a lot for me. Good creative team on this though, not really anyone there whose work I don't like.
I tend to be more likely to pick up one-shots if I am on the fence about something than I am mini-series or ongoing anyway, so this is likely to be one I'll pick up.

I quite liked the first Wreckers series though not seemingly to the extent that it was lauded. Good solid comic with some very memorable moments though not the second coming The Fandom screamed about. Wasn't at all keen on the second series, sorry. I will pick this up though to be honest more for the Geoff Senior pages. I hope to be pleasantly surprised and I also hope Overlord does not appear: can't stand the character.

preview up with nice art from Geoff. But where's page 6 - if look at the art list page 6 is missing unless its one of those fade to black pages or text page?

Perhaps it had a big spoiler on it so is omitted from previews.

The preview shows page cover, contents page 1-5. But just going by the credits on contents.
art page 1-3,15-16,19-29,32-40. 4-5,17-18,30-31. 7-14.

Read it.
It's a dense read, akin to Simon Furman's Spotlight: Revelations. Ending the saga, but in short order so there's no real let up.
It's an emotional story, and without giving any spoilers it's a good ending to the Wreckers saga.
Also - Geoff Senior on interior art - always welcome.
There's some backmatter with Nick's notes and his references he gave to Geoff and Brendan.
Double dipped on this with the digital - and my signed copy from Big Bang on it's way to me.

Hmmm.
Sorry I wasn't keen. Partly because it was more in keeping with the tone and style of the 2nd Wreckers series (which I didn't like) and partly because I felt there were too many pages of characters standing around and telling each other how they feel.
I also felt there was a potentially very interesting plot idea early on that was done away with very quickly in exchange for things we've seen before. I would have liked to have read that comic.
The last page left me puzzled.
There were also two consecutive panels regarding a major plot point and I have stared and stared but I can't figure out what is happening.
I enjoyed the Geoff Senior pages and I very much liked the thing about the thing story beat on the penultimate page. That was also another comic I would have been more interested in. I did quite like that.
Sorry, this was not for me. Wreckers was best done as a one series thing.
