'''''The Transformers: Devastation''''' is a 6-issue comic-book mini-series published by [[IDW Publishing]] in 2007/2008, and set in the main [[IDW Generation 1 continuity|IDW continuity]]. It directly follows ''[[Escalation (IDW)|The Transformers: Escalation]]'', and ramps up the action even further for the [[Generation 1]] Transformers. As the [[Autobot|Autobots]] discover that the [[human]]s are aware of the location of their base, [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] summons [[Sixshot]] to Earth to hasten its... well, devastation!<br />
<br />
It is issues #17–22 in the IDW overarching "sub-numbering" (shown by a number in an Autobot-sigil shaped shield beside the bar code on each issue), and was originally published between October, [[2007]] and February, [[2008]].<br />

==Overview==<br />
[[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] unleashes his "living weapon", [[Sixshot]], on the [[Autobot]]s. After shooting down the Autobots' craft, this unstoppable killing machine hunts down [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] and the Autobots' human allies. Meanwhile, the [[Decepticon]]s have problems of their own: the [[Reaper|Reapers]] have arrived on [[Earth]], intending to scour it clean of all life—starting with the Decepticons. But the denizens of the [[Dead Universe]] have plans for Earth too, and refuse to give it to another unworthy species.<br />
<br />
==Creative team==<br />
The creative team from ''[[Infiltration]]'' and ''Escalation'' (writer [[Simon Furman]] and penciller [[E. J. Su]]) reunited for the bulk of ''Devastation''. However Su's paternity leave meant he was unable to pencil the entire arc. [[Nick Roche]] took over for issue 3, with [[Robby Musso]] working on issue 4. Su returned for issues 5 and 6.<br />
