Transformers #27

What Transformers #27 lacks in terms of story progression or action it certainly makes up for in jamming as many Transformers into a single issue as possible. Spending a couple of pages with various characters at a time, the most notable takeaways from the issue are the Autobots returning to something resembling full strength for the first time in the comic and getting a new recruit in the first Decepticon to switch sides and join their ranks.

Following the theme of the season in which various episodes highlight a single character, although his sexuality doesn’t become common knowledge, the drama behind Wheeler‘s (Patrick Fischler) impending divorce takes center stage and will even play into the murder of the week when the NIS Special Agent in Charge will have to decide whether or not to reveal an alibi given by a career military man, clearing him of the crime, puts him in violation of the uniform code.
