RATT#3 is about Robots! Transformers: Armada has a ton of robots, big ones and little ones, and they all transform (of course). The omnibus contains issues 1-18, with storylines by Chris Sarracini and Simon Furman and some awe-inspiring artists. Armada is not from the standard/G-1 universe, and the bot-designs are more modern and dynamic with a slight manga feel. For all its differences, Armada still feels like a solid and complete setting.
The first storyline is about the minicons, small transformers the size of people (but they live on Cybertron). Megatron figures out how to weaponize the little guys and begins to build a collection. The obvious intent is to destroy the Autobots and rule the galaxy, he is Megatron after all.
Then Galvatron shows up, with his sweeps, straight out of another universe with Unicron on his heels. Seems the big planetbot is galaxy jumping, eating all the Earths and Cybertrons. Then we get to watch Megatron fight Galvatron. Epic.
Armada has robots, lots of smashing, great storyline, and amazing art in full-colour. On the Bacon Scale, Armada receives 7 generous strips of bacon.
Until next round...
