Just when you think the Dinobots have seen it all in their mission to save Ultra Magnus and their very own Swoop from the hands of Ser-Ket and her army of Shockwave loyalists, there comes another turn. The Rage of the Dinobots story arc has not disappointed this Transformer fan at al.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Issue # 3 starts exactly where we left off in issue #2 with the Dinobots finding out that their very own Swoop has been \u201cupgraded\u201d to serve Shockwave.\u00a0 Grimlock challenges Ser-Ket to a battle.\u00a0 If Grimlock wins, she fixes Swoop and releases all the prisoners, if she wins, the Dinobots will surrender and serve Shockwave.\u00a0 Of course the thought of this battle intrigued Ser-Ket so she accepted Grimlock\u2019s offer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The battle was fierce and evenly matched.\u00a0 That is until Grimlock gave into the beast within which allowed him to conquer Ser-Ket.\u00a0 The problem is by unleashing the beast; he almost lost control and came close to going on a rampage.\u00a0 Luckily, Grimlock was able to snap out of it.\u00a0 Ser-Ket\u2019s horde allowed the Dinobots to leave as promised but Ser-Ket took Grimlock for a ride. When the ride was over, Grimlock was face to face with his \u201ccreator\u201d, Shockwave.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Issue #4 started with the Dinobots and Magnus attacking Shockwave only to be stopped by an E.M.P. grenade which made them useless long enough for Shockwave to take them to his research facility.\u00a0 We then find Grimlock, trapped in a lab while the other Dinobots are kept in a holding cell.\u00a0 It turns out that Shockwave wants to finish what he started with Grimlock ions ago.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It seemed as if Shockwave had won and defeated the Dinobots, but Shockwave made one mistake which cost him dearly.\u00a0 That mistake was simply that he underestimated the beast within each of the Dinobots.\u00a0 This \u201cprimal\u201d rage made the Dinobots ruthless fighters who would stop at nothing to get their way.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

There was an intense battle between master and creation but in the end Shockwave lost, well sort of.\u00a0 You see, the Shockwave in this battle was one of Shockwave\u2019s clone soldiers built to do his research. The Dinobots sent Magnus to catch up with the other Autobots on Earth but they choose to stay on Cybertron. Why you ask?\u00a0 Well the answers to that question can be answered in their next title from IDW Publishing titled, Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I give this story arc a perfect rating of 10 out of 10.\u00a0 Each issue was packed with action and let you realize what made the Dinobots tick.\u00a0 The writing was excellent and the art was well done.\u00a0 You need to get your issues now.\u00a0 If your local comic store doesn\u2019t have them, reserve a copy of the trade for when it hits the shelves. You will be glad you did.<\/strong><\/p>\n
