Nevertheless, while even Blades, who gets a bit more screen time than most, fails to distinguish himself much, Roberts continues to do great work with the two strongest personalities among the group.įirst Aid is a forgotten star of this series and his blend of hoping for the best, preparing for the worst, and wondering how he could be a hero make him an effective audience surrogate. The Protectobots have generally not gotten much love at IDW and it would have been cool to get to know Hot Spot or Streetwise in this issue. It’s a shame that some new bots don’t get a chance to break out here. As the crew who departed prior to “Combiner Wars” finally returns to the Lost Light, we see through their eyes what’s changed under Getaway’s leadership.

Like that issue, “Full Circle” is a mystery, a genre that Roberts excels at, though it’s often overshadowed by the obvious sci-fi of his chosen universe.

You’ll notice that I specified Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye above, rather than just talking about Lost Light.
