In the next issue of Transformers: More Than Meets The Eye, the much alluded to and dread Decepticon Justice Division finally appears.

And what an appearance they make...









Possible trigger warning: torture against robots






















The first page of the issue has Tarn, leader of the DJD, discussing the illustrious career of Black Shadow, one of Megatron's Phase Sixers. Decepticons who are sent in to completely sterilize an already destabilized planet of any remaining potential resistance, and possibly all life, prior to cyberforming.

Three killed in a confrontation with the Wreckers' 11th incarnation.

Three thousand and three when taking on the 13th Autobot Battalion, personally repelling Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus in direct combat.

Three BILLION executed when fighting the entire population of Rigel IV.

Black Shadow was all but guaranteed a seat on Megatron's conclave... until he accepted half a billion shanix in exchange for blowing up a fleet of Decepticon warworlds.

Enter the DJD. Five Decepticons renamed for the first five cities to fall in the war with the Autobots.







I love the exposition of Megatron's doctrines here, after the glimpses we received of it during the pre-war issues of Transformers.



ETA: If his power is the ability to talk people to death, I see only one way for the crew of The Lost Light to survive this....


Set him against Swerve. :D

 
Possible trigger warning would be spoilery. I've spaced out the start of the entry below the cut to explain a little.

While there other books on my pull list that are better written, I can honestly say that this series more than any other I'm currently buying fills me with that "Argh, I have to wait a whole month for the next issue!? I gotta know what happens next!" feeling that makes me feel ten years old again. And this is coming from someone who, while having a fondness for the franchise from the cartoon re-runs airing when he was a kid, wouldn't even call himself a big Transformers fan.
