On this inaugural episode of TransMissions Alt Mode, our new show focused on Transformers comics, media, and pop culture, we do a classic comic review and revisit spotlight Shockwave. We find a surprising connection between the competition reality TV show The Voice and Transformers Generation 2, and in Convention News, Jack Lawrence is set to attend TFNation 2017. All this and much, much more on this episode of TransMissions Alt Mode!

This episode was edited by Michael Ordway (@minervion).  Please check out his work in 3D modelling and animation and video and audio post-production at www.michaelordway.com!  Huge thanks to Michael for his hard work!
