In a future without energy scarcity, an ancient yet advanced Gateway has been discovered in independent space. Rock Manor Games  is thrilled to announce that the solo, co-op, and competitive 1-4 player board game StarDriven Gateway, will be launching on Gamefound on   October 1st .  We’re commemorating the launch with an animated Saturday Morning cartoon style video to give everyone a taste of the world. The StarDriven universe was originally conceived on a long drive to the Origins Expo over 5 years ago by Todd Walsh ( Set a Watch  series) and Mike Gnade ( Maximum Apocalypse ,  Lawyer Up ). StarDriven: Gateway is the first of 3 planned games in the universe and features incredibly unique and innovative gameplay that thrusts players into the role of commanding the Crew of a Starship. Unlike most games in the genre, each Crew card is unique and your ship is controlled by assigning them to the individual stations.

The Transformers: Regeneration One #86 Review


The Transformers: Regeneration One #86 Cover
DARK REIGN! The fallout from the devastation on Earth ripples outwards, all the way to Nebulos, where GRIMLOCK faces his own darkest demons and a fateful choice that may cost him his very Spark. The dark reign of SCORPONOK begins here, and nothing will ever be the same again!

Cover/Solicit - 3/5

- Would I pick-up the comic based on the solicit/cover alone? Are the alternate covers appealing? Does the solicit/cover portray what happens in the issue?

Art - 3/5

- Do I personally like this artist's style? Does the artist stay true to the characters appearance?

Colors/Ink/Lettering - 4/5

- Does the work blend well with the artist? Is the coloring/inking enjoyable and easy to distinguish what's happening? Can I easily read the lettering?

Layout/Flow - 4/5

- Does the layout of the issue make it easy to read? Does the issue have a good flow of the plot and keep me engaged?

Story - 4/5

- Weighted Triple. How well did the issue further develop the current story? How well did the issue further develop the characters? Did I enjoy reading the issue?




Verdict - 3.7

- Seeing the Dinobots on the cover and I was excited for this issue, my only problem with the cover is it seems off-centered like there should be more, maybe a fold-out. It if was a double cover with the last issue or the next it would make a little more sense but it's not. Like The Transformers: Regeneration One #85 - Loose Ends; Part 5; One Will Fall! I'm still not a fan of the art, this time not for the 80s feel but for some reason everyone looked elongated. I double checked with IDW's preview on Seibertron.com and it's the same way. The issue concentrates on Grimlock and Scorponok and the Autobots being destroyed due to Grimlock's actions using Nucleon to revive them in the Marvel's original The Transformers #70. We also get to see the outcome of last issue's battle with Megatron, and Buster commanding Optimus and the Autobots to leave earth. This issue was a great read, and is giving me more faith in this title after the last story arc let me down.
