[edit] Quotes

• TBD

[edit] Errors

• None of the members of the Dynasty of Primes, save The Fallen himself, resemble the designs for them seen in the live-action film.
• The first time the "last" Prime is shown, his head sculpt resembles Generation 1 Optimus Prime's helmet. However, for the remaning of the comic he is drawn with a head sculpt resembling Movie Prime's protoform toy head.

[edit] Items of note

• This issue ties into the previous one.
• Based on the Fallen's initial monologue about the All Spark talking to him, either the Fallen was delusional bordering on insane, or the Allspark is evil.
• The Fallen claims that they are "Children of Primus". This is the first reference to Primus as opposed to the All Spark in movie fiction, though Furman had previously suggested this over in Titan Titan.
• The surviving Prime's design is clearly based on Optimus Prime's protoform toy. Which makes it somewhat fitting that he is the one that actually proposes to the Dynasty the "do not destroy the suns from systems with life" rule and names the Fallen, the Fallen.
• This story clearly establishes the Fallen as the member of the Dynasty responsible for finding new suns to recharge the Allspark. It also implies that the Dynasty of Primes has previously sacrificed worlds with life, and decrees the rule as a means of atonement for their past actions.
• The Fallen sacrifices multiple planets and slaughters whole races during this comic (and last issue), yet the Dynasty wait until Earth before raising a fuss?
