Product Description

Product Description

Continuing the very early adventures of the Transformers, the ground-breaking stories that established the Robots in Disguise as the ultimate '80s icons! The balance of power shifts again in the ongoing battle for Earth...and Cybertron. The civil war between the Autobots and the Decepticons rages on two fronts. On Earth, Optimus Prime must face the twin threat of Megatron and Shockwave, as the former and current Decepticon leaders make their respective power plays. On Cybertron, Blaster and the Autobot resistance must break the hold of current Decepticon overlord, Straxus. But Straxus's megalomania cannot be contained by a few billion light years of space...and Earth is squarely in his sights!

3.0 out of 5 stars Necessary reprints but the stories are somewhat lacking, 27 Aug 2003
This is the 9th (3rd chronologically) Titan book to reprint US Transformer comics (they also have a line of books reprinting UK strip), and contains material from issues 13-18. Because Titan are reprinting the entire series, this book contains some necessary characterisation and continuation of certain story arcs, however, the stories themselves are disappointing. Megatron's solo adventure in "Shooting Star" is incredibly cornball; "Rock And Roll Out" is a decent enough romp, introducing a new batch of Autobots; "I Robot Master" is an awful attempt to introduce yet more humans to the supporting cast (did the writers ever learn? Readers wanted to see Transformers, not more humans!); "Plight Of the Bumblebee" is a poor, out-of-character solo story starring Bumblebee in a very bland tale. The final two stories "Smelting Pool" and "Bridge To Nowhere" redeem the mix, with a great "return to Cybertron" saga. A very mixed bag; for fans who haven't read these comics since they first came out, it will be a breath of nostalgia; for those of us who are more familiar with the series, "Cybertron Redux" represents a so-so collection, with hints and promises (in the final two stories) of better things to come.

4.0 out of 5 stars Poor, poor Scrounge!, 7 Nov 2003
By Mr. J. R. Coupland (Somewhere on Earth) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
First things first - four out of five because The Smelting Pool and Bridge to Nowhere are both easily worth five, but the other stories pull the score down a bit. Why did Bob Budianski insist on writing about humans, when he proves here that he could create good, exciting and even moving stories by focussing solely on the Transformers? Anyway, the Return to Cybertron stories are easily his best work and remain the highlight of the pre-Furman US comic run. I remember reading these stories the first time around, all those years ago, and feeling myself, finally, being thrust into the heart of the Cybertron war. It was also the first (and last) time I felt a lump in my throat reading a comic, as the tragic Scrounge dies a hero (in a scene eerily similar to, but predating by five years, the ending to Terminator 2 - was James Cameron reading, I wonder?). For the closing two stories alone, this is worth a place on any Transformer fan's bookshelf.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cybertron Redux, 16 Oct 2003
Cybertron Redux contains issues 13 to 18 of the American Transformer comic. Writer Bob Budiansky seemed unsure of the direction in which to take the series at this point, which led to several stories which misguidingly centred on some rather dull human characters and some outrageous situations(the Transformers at a rock concert to name but one).

What makes Cybertron Redux worth having is the two stories that document the return to the Transformers' homeworld. There is the introduction of Blaster, and a particularly nasty piece of work called Lord Straxus. Rarely did the US comic really bring home the price there is to pay for millions of years of civil war, the burden and pain it's warriors must face, and the friends they must lose along the way. Thankfully, the Return to Cybertron two-parter brings these themes to the fore with entertaining results.
