===Prelude: Megatron===
*'''Script:''' [[Simon Furman]]
*'''Art:''' [[Nick Roche]]
*'''Colors:''' [[Liam Shalloo]]

Having just dispatched [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]], [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] pursues the [[All Spark]] into space, intent on intercepting the cube before it reaches its destination - the [[Alkaris Anomaly]], a wormhole that would transport it to any one of an infinite number of potential locations throughout the universe. Passing by [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s moon, Megatron finds himself ensnared by a powerful tractor beam that pulls him down to the moon's surface. Freeing himself by destroying the beam projector with a reverse particle stream, Megatron turns his weapons on the Autobots responsible - [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]], [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] and [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] - but soon realises that this is what they want, as it will delay him from his pursuit of the All Spark. Instead, Megatron summons [[Brawl (Movie)|Devastator]] from Cybertron to fight in his place as he goes after the cube, but Megatron proves unable to stop the All Spark from entering the anomaly, and decides to enter it himself. The battle on the moon comes to an explosive end when Devastator unleashed a [[foldspace warhead]], and the combatants all vanish in a flash of light, and Megatron is disgorged from the wormhole in some far-off region of space, with no trace of the All Spark.

==Items of note==

*The events of ''Prelude: Megatron'' take place after the first issue of ''[[Prime Directives]]'' - except that the reprinting of that issue won't be finished until the ''next'' edition of ''Transformers Comic'', so readers are getting a glimpse into the future with this issue.
*As in the film itself, Brawl is here named "Devastator." Amusingly, to amp up his "heavily-armed" appearance even ''more'', he's decorated with a pair of bandoliers. These straps are colored purple, which combine well with his normal green coloration to bring to mind the classic Devatator green-purple color scheme.
*The foldspace warhead scatters the characters throughout space, setting up the plot for the next four issues.
