Basically it's a convoluted mess. There are two many characters to keep track of, too many plot twists and subplots, and while Dunbar is adept at drawing humans and transformers, I found the pictures equally as busy rather than aid in simplifying things.
At one point a transformer remarks, "we need to rise above this fear. We can't allow a small group of radicalized humans to drive us to mass murder." It's a great theme, an allegory for our times, and hence, there were some hints that this could have better executed. Likewise, I was impressed that the leader of the GI Joes was a woman. As a crossover, I was also happy they didn't do the typical multiverse angle, instead just situating everyone in the same world. Unfortunately, all this potential for greatness is buried.
