The Budiansky Transformers run started as just totally cynical, laughably stiff and exposition-ridden story and art and evolved into something kinda fun with intermittent moments of sci-fi brilliance (in particular, the stories with Blaster as antihero, from the Smelting Pool to saving kids out in space with Sky Lynx, and the Starscream-as-Singularity arc ending with issue 50). Better than I'd expected them to be by the end (worse at the beginning!)
