Transformers #16

/ / Comics

In a chaotic issue focused on the Autobots finding themselves in the middle of a battle between two warring groups of Decepticons (without an appearance by Shockwave, sadly), the most interesting moment is saved for the end confirming Megatron‘s survival and foreshadowing his return. This isn’t likely great news for the Autobots who have only kept pace with the Decepticons thanks to their questionable leadership so far. The return of Megatron, who probably isn’t going to be happy to learn Optimus Prime is walking around with his cannon arm, could definitely shake things up.

Transformers #11

Transformers #11 sees a large amount of friction and frustration boiling over with the Autobots about how and where they should put their limited resources. Optimus Prime makes to key decisions in the issue and both appear to be the wrong ones by the end of the issue. First, he uses the last of the Energon to finish fixing Ultra Magnus. And second, he leads an attack on Shockwave‘s base to free the captured Cliffjumper and Jazz who the Decepticon is torturing for his own amusement.
