YMMV / Transformers: The War Within

Go To

  • Complete Monster: Megatronus Prime, debuting here, is known as the Fallen. Created by Primus as one of the original Thirteen Primes, the Fallen became obsessed with the notions of entropy and decay, ultimately attempting to murder his creator after betraying him to Unicron. Escaping the prison he was trapped in some seven million years before the 21st century, The Fallen visited the G1 continuity, gathered several Decepticon outcasts and kidnapped four Transformers, through which he tried to channel enough energy to break the Seal of Primus, awaken Unicron, and end all reality, boasting that his victims were but "casualties in the wars of the Gods". Sharing his master's unquenchable thirst for destruction, The Fallen is precisely the kind of servant that Unicron most needs.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Prowl chastising Optimus' plan to abandon Cybertron by accusing of him making that decision based on cold, unfeeling, logic is this when compared to IDW's characterization of Prowl as a ruthless pragmatist.
  • Narm: The sheer number of times the word 'within' is uttered. It's emboldened almost every single time it appears, and that is a lot, and it makes you just want to shout "yes, we know the title of the series!"
  • Once Original, Now Common: This was one of the first pieces of Transformers fiction to delve into the start of the Great War between the Autobots and Decepticons and set entirely on Cybertron. Something that has less unique cache today due to works like the comics from IDW, the High Moon Studios' video games, and the War For Cybertron Trilogy
