I love Rodimus.

He is very easy to love - he is written to be snarky, charismatic, funny with a supporting cast filled with witty repartee. But he is so very, deeply flawed and that is what I love the most about him. His ego is the size of a planet. His self confidence solid as a rock. Yet you can always see the insecurity leaking out. He is plagued by doubts even as he dives headfirst into every new situation. He chases approval from his hero, Optimus Prime, who is at best an absent father figure to him, and at worst indifferent to Rodimus' efforts.

He is terrified he will fail because he has failed - his failures are as numerous as they are epic.

I so honestly wish we got a longer ending to show how his absolute refusal to give up on himself finally extended to his steadfast refusal to give up on a single member of his crew.

Till all are one.

Something is deeply wrong in the city. Strange murders are being ignored, dangerous new drugs are spreading, corporations are corrupting everything they touch, and the law itself seems to have a price tag.

Into this mess step three cops who, against all odds, have stayed honest. Harrison Crane (Joe Lynch) is a war veteran slowly drinking himself into oblivion. Ben Wade (Adam Green) is an idealist desperately trying to stay hopeful. Susan Danton (Kacey Camp) is principled, analytical, and utterly alone. The reward for their integrity is reassignment to the Unified Cold Case Taskforce, an infamous unit buried in a basement office nicknamed the Murder Dungeon and overseen by Captain Donovan (Sean Branney), a legendary hardass no one wants to work for.

But nothing is quite as it appears, and what starts as a dead-end assignment turns into something far stranger. Their pursuit of answers will lead them on a journey into paranoia, conspiracy, murder, ritual, and madness. But will finally uncovering the truth save them, or destroy them?
