-not sure about the new non cybertronian life introduced
-God damn it, windblades first appearance is a super hero landing
-bee references the movies and having no voice box.
-set before the war yet it's the same characters we already know. Did no one die in the war?
-so acientacons are Pre decepticons?
Bit of a “Remix” feel like Bumblebee
Reuse some elements and extend and change them
-Already got a namedrop of Tarn
-Protests and unrest etc starting Cons
And some things are different
-Titans sleeping in orbit
-Organic life on Cybertron
Brainstorm sighted at end (dead?)
