All Hail Megatron issue 1

On your knees, human scum, and bow before the great and glorious Megatron!

Errors

 * DJ has a "soul patch" beard, which is not allowed for U.S. military pilots.

Items of note

 * Cameos: Flashback on Cybertron: Slingshot, Brainstorm, Headstrong; NYC citizens, fighter pilots, DJ's girlfriend/wife (in picture)
 * The first page's snapshot-to-snapshot barebones retelling of the Transformers backstory mimics the first page of 2006's All Star Superman #1.
 * Lots of characters show up with new bodies!
 * Prowl, Sideswipe, and Sunstreaker are now in their Universe Classic Series toy bodies.
 * Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp are now in their Masterpiece toy bodies.
 * Shrapnel and Bombshell have retooled, additionally bug-like insect modes.
 * Cliffjumper's Earth mode is seen, which resembles Bumblebee's IDW body in engineering, but using a sportier car as a base.


 * Megatron, Astrotrain, Blitzwing, Jazz, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Wheeljack, Ironhide, and Optimus Prime manage to retain their unique-to-IDW bodies.
