Nightstrike's Reviews: Transformers Retribution (3/3)

Oh my . . . how do I NOT spoil the plot of the book?

* Looks at back of book, scratching chin *

Retribution, by David J. Williams and Mark S. Williams, departs from the writing style of Alex Irvine, for unknown reasons, but does a good job at following events that previously occurred. Once again, there are a few minor errors, but I only realized them after reading through the article on TFWiki. I don't think it's too troublesome to mention that there are Quintessons, since it does mention them on the summary. However, I will state that they do not make any actual appearance in the various scenes on Aquatron, instead acting through the likes of the Sharkticons and the mysterious "Curator." The Quintessons claimed to have been the creators of Cybertronians, even going so far as to tamper with the Matrix of Leadership to induce visions of the past.

The truth is far from the Quintessons' claims, as some characters begin to remember what happened long ago. There's not much more that I can say about the book without giving away the ending, but I would like to mention that the treatment of Aquatron and the infamous judgement doesn't fail to impress.

Overall Rating: 4.5/5

Yes, I know this review was short, but I've been busy as of late, with a summer assignment for school, as well as a few side projects and animation.
