Orion Pax and his Autobots try to stop Soundwave from reaching Kaon.
Synopsis
[edit]
Orion Pax and a small team of Autobots set out to find Soundwave, who, aside from spying on Zeta Prime, is suspected of being the one who murdered the old Senate. Silverbolt spots their target from the air, but when Bumblebee and Hound move in, Soundwave unleashes Ravage on them. Both Autobots are defeated, but at least manage to take their enemy down with them.
Prowl and Ironhide catch up with Soundwave under the Neurospan Bridge, only to be taken out when Rumble collapses the bridge on top of them. Orion Pax himself is next in turn, confronting Soundwave in a crowded marketplace. The Decepticon ejects Frenzy, who uses his sonic weaponry to induce panic and hysteria among the civilians, causing them to turn on Orion and allowing Soundwave to escape. Silverbolt pursues him, but crashes after Ratbat takes out his port stabilizer.
Soundwave and Frenzy have just reached the border of Kaon when Orion Pax catches up, blasting Frenzy and crushing Soundwave's chest before he can eject Buzzsaw. There is a brief fight in which Orion comes out on top, but as he prepares to take Soundwave in, Skywarp and several other Decepticons appear and announce that the Autobots have no jurisdiction in Kaon. Holding Bumblebee hostage, they tell Orion that Megatron is interested in meeting with him...

Notes
[edit]- Orion Pax mentions that no one knows who was responsible for the Senate Massacre from Megatron Origin. This partially explains how Starscream could be a delegate with access to security briefings last issue, although his arrest in Kaon prior to the uprising should still be on file or known to the Autobot officers involved.
- Kaon is near Iacon.
Errors
[edit]- On page 1, panel 1, "he's" is misspelled as "hes".
- On page 4, panel 1, "roger" is misspelled as "rodger".
