Everything seems to be coming up Starscream until Prowl's contingency plan goes into action, and the most incredible combiner of all is born!
Synopsis
[edit]Optimus Prime visits the imprisoned Prowl to talk over recent events, attempting to explain that he and Windblade are putting a system in place to curb Starscream's ambition. Prowl is unconvinced, and begins drawing pictures of the combiners on his cell forcefield with his fingertip to illustrate his point: all the other prisoners Starscream has taken—specifically, the Constructicons—have been hidden away somewhere, and Prowl is certain this means Starscream is going to attempt to recruit Devastator to his side, since he knows that Superion and Defensor are sure to stand with Prime when the turning point comes. Prowl insists that he has always been the one to make the tough calls Optimus couldn't, but Optimus believes Prowl has been twisted by a list of numerous betrayals he feels he has suffered in his life; Prowl retorts that Optimus can add himself to that list.
After stationing Superion and Defensor on Caminus, and happily taking in the sight of Cybertronians and Camiens working together, Starscream returns to Cybertron through the space bridge. He urges Wheeljack to use the bridge to make contact with the other colony worlds as quickly as possible, but Wheeljack requires Windblade's help to communicate with Metroplex, and she is busy with her duties as representative. After promising to speak to her, Starscream heads off to his secret prison with Scoop and Rattrap, where he makes the incarcerated Constructicons an offer...
At Maccadam's Old Oil House, Mirage and Ironhide talk about their visions, and realize that they were seeing the same thing. Though they laugh it off, and make peace with each other over past misunderstandings, Sunstreaker cuts in, offering an insight afforded him by his time as a Headmaster: what if, rather than seeing a "vision", Mirage and Ironhide were somehow sharing "mindspace", like Sunstreaker did with Hunter O'Nion, seeing into someone else's mind and witnessing their intentions for the future. Ironhide considers it plausible, and they decide to take the news to Optimus.
While Windblade helps Wheeljack, and together they grimly mull over what contacting the colonies will mean, Starscream uses the Enigma of Combination to merge Scoop with the Constructicons, using Scoop's dedication to his "chosen one" to influence the combined mind of Devastator and make the giant loyal to him. Starscream turns to Rattrap to gloat, only to find that Rattrap is not there... and has, in fact, sneaked back to the prison, where he kills a guard and frees Swindle, requesting that he set up a "distraction" for him. Swindle is happy to comply, liberating the Stunticons so they can combine into Menasor once more, then rounding up a handful of other Decepticons and leading both them and the combiner in an attack on the space bridge chamber, with the false claim that "a better life" awaits them on Caminus. Amid the chaos, Rattrap steals the Enigma of Combination and brings it to Prowl's cell, just as Ironhide, Mirage, and Sunstreaker arrive to tell Prime what they have deduced. Prime tries to stop the rat, but it is too late: at Prowl's command, Rattrap activates the Enigma...
As Menasor heads through the portal to Caminus, Devastator tackles him, and both fall through. Defensor, remembering Devastator's recent rampage, unthinkingly attacks the Constructicon combiner, and Superion soon joins the fray for a four-way free-for-all combiner throwdown. Meanwhile, in the space bridge chamber, a stray laser blast from Swindle destroys the bridge control panel and destabilizes the portal... so when Menasor and Superion fall through it while they are grappling, they wind up on an entirely different, unknown, alien planet! Devastator hurls Defensor through after them, then joins them on this new world, instructing them all to calm down—and that he'll calm them down permanently if they don't get with the program. Then, a new voice echoes out of the portal, and a fifth giant figure enters the combat: thanks to the Enigma, Optimus Prime, Prowl, Sunstreaker, Ironhide, and Mirage have been merged into a combiner too!

Quotes
[edit]Wheeljack: "Welcome back to Cybertron! Things went okay, Starscream?"
Starscream: "We did our best to represent our homeland as we expand our partnership."
Chromia: "I just wanted to make sure nobody started shooting."
Starscream: "Ha ha, delightful, Chromia. Yes. Good idea."
"I need somebody I can trust. Somebody who'll stick with me."
"And that's me? I don't even like you."
"Who does?"
- —Starscream and Scoop
"I thought I understood you. I thought you were you... an open wound."
"What?"
"You'd been hurt so much. Your functionist upbringing. A never-ending series of betrayals...or what you see as personal betrayals, anyway. The Senate, Zeta, Megatron, the Neutrals, the Wreckers, Arcee, Chromedome... Spike.
"Is that all?"
"Did I forget someone?"
"My history of betrayals proves one thing: Cybertronians cannot be trusted. The power Starscream has... the spacebridge, the enigma... you have to see it. And you can stop it. You're the one true Prime to the colony worlds. They'll believe anything you tell them. Did your list leave off somebody that betrayed me? Yeah, Prime. It did."
- —Optimus Prime and Prowl
"Green is the new orange."
- —Starscream on Scoop's addition to Devastator
Notes
[edit]Continuity notes
[edit]- Prowl makes the "PFFT" sound during his conversation with Prime, a "talent" his ex-partner Chromedome long coveted and finally learned how to do in More than Meets the Eye #22.
- Scoop wants to know what a particular prisoner is guilty of; the prisoner doesn't get called out by name, but it's Sandstorm, who—as Starscream so delicately puts it—"killed a bunch of people" in the Punishment mini-series.
- Ironhide apologizes for trying to kill Mirage, an event that took place in All Hail Megatron #7, when Ironhide mistakenly believed Mirage was the traitor who had sold the Autobots out (as Sunstreaker points out in the next panel, he was actually the one responsible). Ironhide notes that he had to "remember" that he did this, as it was a memory he had lost following his death and resurrection in the Ironhide mini-series, which is something that hasn't really come up much in the present era. Interestingly, the idea was supposed to be that Ironhide didn't have those memories because he had been "reborn" from an outdated copy of his data that those memories were simply not part of, so how he could have regained them is a big question.
- Sunstreaker mentions outliers, the IDW description of the phenomenon of Transformers with "super-powers", introduced in More than Meets the Eye #10.
- When describing the "tough calls" he's made, Prowl mentions "figuring out how to make a Phase Sixer" (a plot seen in More than Meets the Eye #14 that had dire repercussions for that book) and "taking care of Zeta Prime's secret weaponry" (from Autocracy #12).
- Optimus Prime refers to Prowl's Functionist upbringing, which we know from More than Meets the Eye #9 was in the town of Petrex.
- Prowl's list of betrayals includes: the Senate (for whom Prowl worked circa Megatron Origin), Zeta Prime (who went nuts in Autocracy, forcing Prowl and the Autobots to stand against him), Megatron (who allied with the Autobots against Zeta then betrayed them in Autocracy #8), the neutrals (Prowl was originally a neutral himself, as we learned in The Death of Optimus Prime, and came to hate them for running away from the war), the Wreckers (team leader Impactor went against Prowl's express orders and executed Squadron X in Last Stand of the Wreckers #5, and he's had multiple issues with his successor Springer), Arcee (Prowl and Arcee's alliance and falling out has been gradually happening over the course of this series), Chromedome (Prowl's former lover, with whom he broke up when he refused to join the Senate's security forces with him according to More than Meets the Eye #36; Chromedome also shadowplayed Prowl in #14 of that book, which had far-reaching consequences), and of course, Spike Witwicky, who needs no explanation at this point. Phew!
- With Scoop's addition to Devastator, Hook regains his position as the combiner's head-and-shoulders. Scoop takes the deceased Scrapper's place as right leg, which Hook has been filling in for since issue #14.
- The planet that the combiners land on has what appear to be members of Garnak's species.
Transformers references
[edit]- When Sparkstalker grumbles that Starscream is "prancing around like the king of the universe," Waspinator replies: "Wazzpinator hatezz univerzz"—an inversion of his classic lament, "Why univerzze hate Wazzpinator?", from the Beast Wars episode, "Deep Metal".
- Blast Off is among the crowd of Decepticons who Swindle frees, having shed the Fall of Cybertron design he had last time we saw him in issue #12 and taken on his original Generation 1 body. Specifically, it's the interpretation of his Generation 1 form that appeared in Dreamwave's More than Meets the Eye profile series, which features his shuttle-windows on his upper arms, and which we use as his article's main picture here on TFWiki.
- It's combinin' time! Optimus Prime's combined form doesn't get a name this issue, but next issue will reveal that it is "Optimus Maximus". However, see "Errors", below.
- Devastator's makeover returns him to a more classic configuration for the first time since he became "Prowlastator" in issue #14, to tie in with his new Combiner Wars toy. Unlike other combiners featured in this event, however, he is not drawn to the specifications of his new toy, instead retaining his design that debuted in issue #29, with his new Scoop-leg and Hook-upper-torso being the only updated parts.
Errors
[edit]
- Scoop does not recognize the secret prison, and has to have Starscream explain to him what it is—except he's been there before, back in Chapter 2, and was left with no misunderstanding of what the facility was. This is sort-of corrected for the trade; rather than ask what the prison is, he asks why he's been brought there. He haltingly refers to it as "this place", unwilling to call it what it is, which leads in to Rattrap and Starscream's unchanged dialogue, which now plays as a "correction" of Scoop's remark.
- On page 6, Optimus expresses concern over Superion not returning to its "normal" form after combining, even though the Aerialbots broke down into their component parts just last issue.
- On page 8, "Maccadam" is misspelled "Macaddam". This is corrected for the trade.
- In the digital version of the book, Scoop's color as Devastator's leg remains orange while in the print version Scoop-as-leg has been corrected to being green. The edit is retained in the collected version, although Scoop is (possibly intentionally) a slightly different shade of green than the rest of Devastator.
- On page 16, Superion's exclamation “Hurm.” Is colored in Defensor's blue speech bubble instead of his own orange.
- On page 17, Starscream asks Blackjack if he can "diffuse" the Menasor situation, when he almost certainly means "defuse".
- Optimus Maximus's torso is colored in the standard red-and-blue Optimus coloration of Ultra Prime, rather than in the redecoed color scheme of the (then-unreleased) Maximus toy. The next chapter will make a move to partially correct this. What it can't correct, unfortunately, is the fact that Maximus's limbs have clearly been drawn without reference to the (also then-unreleased) Combiner Wars Ironhide, Prowl, Sunstreaker, or Mirage toys—Ironhide and Mirage try to look like leg-shaped lumps, but rather than reimagine Sunstreaker and Prowl as arms, the art simply gives Optimus one of each of the two characters' actual arms.
