Soundwave in a way is a Suicide Hotline, talking to his fellow bots in need. His connection though isn’t about attempting to rise up, it’s an attempt to help the former soldiers through their trauma. Soundwave is handling “Radio Decepticon” keeping the members connected and trying to keep them calm. Megatron and Starscream are hiding out where they meet Soundwave, who, so far, is the most interesting character in this world. There’s far too much covered and not enough focus on one thing. While the concept of the series is interesting, this issue emphasizes that I’ve been having issues with so far. He’s a wanted fugitive who at the same time is attempting to bring the Decepticons together again and take a stand against the Autobots. Starscream is the character who has played through each issue acting as our perspective for the here and now.

The first issue focused on Blur, the second Megatron, and third is Starscream. Each issue is a one-shot that focuses on an individual character giving a bit of the world’s history from their perspective. Transformers: Shattered Glass #3 is an interesting shift in the series starting to focus the narrative a bit more than the one-shots that proceeded it.ĭanny Lore continues to tell the tale of a universe where the Autobots are petty tyrants and the Decepticons and freedom fighters between down and underground.


But, lets face it, it’s a difficult task. With its miniseries, IDW Publishing has attempted to deliver us a story and twisted take that would meet expectations. The concept of a “Mirror Universe” with “Shattered Glass” is something I’ve been excited about and wanted to read more about since I first found out about it. I’m a big fan of Transformers having grown up with Gen-1.
