[[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] makes the decision to send the [[AllSpark]] into space to ensure [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] can never find it. This is a decision that weighs heavy, as its absence could condemn Cybertron to a slow death. A Decepticon drone assassin - one in a long line of them - attacks the Autobot base in search of Optimus, who goes out to meet the threat head on. Destroying the drone by transforming and ramming into it at high speed, Optimus is left badly damaged and sees a vision of [[Mission City|the Transformer war spread to other worlds]]. This causes him to question launching the AllSpark - but it's too late, as it's already been launched...

===Articles & features===

===Free Gift===

===Reprints===
''Reprinted stories are only a portion of their respective issues.
* [[Prime Directives|Transformers: Movie Prequel, part 1a]] (7 pages)
* [[The Gathering, Part 1|Beast Wars: The Gathering, part 1a]] (6 pages)

==Errors==
* The Mech Mail letters page contains letters from young children who've already seen the film... which hadn't come out by this point. Oh, Titan.

==Items of note==
* The ''Prelude'' strip ties into the Movie Prequel reprint.
* Geoff Senior coloured the first two pages of #1 [http://transfans.net/interviews_geoff.php for an interview at TransFans.net], which - due to less grey - look quite different to the printed version.
* Every issue of the comic contains a "Fantastic Free" gift. [http://transfans.net/interviews_white.php Steve White has stated] they are trying to come up with free gift ideas that aren't "some piece of cheap plastic", a challenge considered the small budget they are given.
