Thanks to Last Stand of the Wreckers co-writer James Roberts, TFW2005 has been fortunate enough to review Bullets, a short story exclusive to the Last Stand of the Wreckers trade paperback that will be released tomorrow, Wednesday, September 1st. Check out the quick review of the short story below! Beware of minor spoilers!

Just when you thought the dust has cleared from the fallout and thrill ride that was Last Stand of the Wreckers, Bullets hit. One of the extras of the Last Stand of the Wreckers trade paperback, Bullets is essentially Last Stand of the Wreckers Issue #0. Although purely a short story and absent of the fantastic Nick Roche art, the story continues to flush out the story of a group of heroes that the Transformers comics fandom has recently grown to adore. The humor and uniqueness of the mini-series continues within the confines of Bullets.

The 11-page short story provides an origins story regarding how this new group of Wreckers came into being. While Last Stand of the Wreckers #1 started with the new heroes ready to be assembled, Bullets explains how these Autobots of different backgrounds were brought together. Items teased at during the mini-series, such as Ironfist’s scar and Pyro’s Prime fascination are explained in the story. Likewise, the absence of many of the old Wreckers is also expanded upon. While still flushing out the story from the mini-series, Bullets also features its own self-contained story centering around Ironfist. The story also manages to throw in little nods to previous IDW stories, such as discussing Infiltration units and their phases.

Below is just a little taste of what one can expect from Bullets:
--------
First Aid stopped reading as he sensed someone approaching him from
behind. He tapped the keyboard and Fisitron’s 113th datalog - The
Wreckers: Showdown on Pova - was replaced by a picture of a fractured
elbow joint. Okay, so he was still sitting at a computer terminal when he
should have been walking the ward, administering energon boosters
and propex swabs to the patients downstairs, but at least he was now
looking at something vaguely medical instead of reading Fisitron’s
account of how Impactor and his hardbitten heroes had brought down
Squadron X once and for all. He made sure he was frowning in
concentration when Pharma strode past.
--------
Some recent cases sprang to mind: the paranoid cadet who thought that
someone had hacked into his optic sensors so that he only saw what
“They” wanted to him to see; and the data processor, obsessed with
gestalt technology, who suffered from a variation of phantom limb
syndrome and refused to go indoors because he was convinced that he
formed the right leg of a colossal super-warrior. In recent months he'd
also diagnosed several cases of primus apotheosis, which made
ordinary robots try to emulate Optimus Prime, and treated a medic who’d
been found obsessively examining Autobot badges. (The medic had
denied doing this.)
--------
“Trailbreaker’s question will be struck from the record,” said Xaaron.
“The moral issues raised by the existence of these bullets are for the
Committee to consider, not you.” He raised a hand to silence
Trailbreaker’s objection. “And the Committee has reached a decision.
Ironfist, please stand.
--------
He’d lived an itinerant life of late, latching onto a succession of Autobot
squads in the hope of recapturing the sense of belonging that he’d felt
when serving in his old platoon. He’d decided to help with Dipstick’s
reconstruction project until he could find something better suited to his
talents (those talents chiefly consisting of the ability to insert various
deadly projectiles into various deadly Decepticons). And while the thrill
of close combat hadn’t entirely deserted him, this most unreflective of
robots had recently identified a certain... hollowness inside him. His first
reaction, of course, had been to seek medical help. Fixit had carried out
a full body search and, finding no internal cavities, suggested that the
hollow feeling was not an early indication of corrodia gravis but “an
emotional response.” Guzzle had pondered this at length, until a pang
of acute discomfort had heralded the arrival of bona fide insight: he
was in mourning. Most of his old platoon had died trying to rescue Kup,
and he was still struggling to accept their deaths and the circumstances
surrounding them.
--------
Kup took his cygar out of his mouth and looked his protege up and
down. “There’s something different about you, lad... Ah! You’ve
polished. An’ that can only mean one thing: new recruits. Anyone I
know?”

“You know three of them, definitely. The fourth... well, between you and
me, he wasn’t my first choice.”
--------
The Last Stand of the Wreckers Trade Paperback is out tomorrow, Wednesday, September 1st. Along with entire 5-issue mini-series, the trade paperback will feature the Bullets short story, two new profiles (written and drawn by Nick Roche), a one-page Transformers Mosaic strip (written by James Roberts with art by Nick), an all-new pin-up by Josh Burcham, 25 Things You Didn't Know About Wreckers, and several unpublished sketches.
