Since the beginning of IDW’s reboot on its
Transformers continuity, writer Brian Ruckley has been playing the long game as he’s led Cybertron to the brink of its infamous, millions-year long war between the Autobots and Decepticons. All throughout his series we’ve seen the small sparks of war as Megatron and his followers manipulate events to their benefit and now in
Transformers Vol. 3: All Fall Down, the pay off comes as the newly christened Decepticon leader makes his move, forever changing the destiny of Cybertron and the galaxy. The third volume contains compelling character work from Ruckley, great artwork and other entertaining stories from Sam Maggs and Brandon Easton that further build the world and history of Cybertron.
The Beast Wars take one step closer to formally beginning in
Transformers: Beast Wars #3 as Megatron and his Predacons interrogate the captured Nyx for what she knows of her fellow Maximals while one particular Predacon now questions his stance in the faction. Erik Burnham writes a compelling issue that once again takes the familiar tropes and events from the original series and finds new elements to add or expand on. Combined with Josh Burcham’s artwork, the latest issue is another piece of proof for longtime
Beast Wars fans to check out the rebooted comic.
Most of
Beast Wars #3 focuses on the Predacons as they adjust to the planet and attempt to affirm their position. Burnham continues to capture Megatron’s voice perfectly as he gloats to Nyx and gleefully threatens her with further interrogation and even Tarantulas’ unsettling habits.

Beast Wars series. From Burnham’s script and Burcham’s visuals,
Beast Wars is proving to be quite an entertaining book, yes.
Whereas the first issue largely told the events before the Maximals and Predacons crashed on the planet, gaining their beast modes in the last few pages,
Beast Wars #2 picks up fairly soon after that as the two factions begin settling into their new bodies and surroundings. There are plenty of character moments establishing the dynamic between the teams with Burnham mostly following their characterizations from the show, but he finds room to add in new pieces as well. Scorponok for example is quite the die-hard loyalist to Megatron. He’s still loyal to Megatron of course, but gets on the Predacon leader’s bad side with a nasty beating, showing he doesn’t know him as well as he did in the series. Dinobot and Tarantulas have a great interaction that not only shows the animosity between the two, but even has Tarantulas declare they all follow M
