In this video, I take a look at some of the recurring themes and motifs from Daniel Warren Johnson's run on Transformers and how the second story arc enhances elements from the first six issues. Optimus Prime is a major vehicle for relaying the underlying messages, but he's not the only one...Elita-1 plays a surprisingly crucial role in defining this next chapter of Skybound's series.

In addition to this analysis, I break down some of my favorite panels of the issue and get into what makes Jorge Corona's artwork on this series so special.
