	*Prowl's rash, self-sacrificial decision to break cover and help a Decepticon was poorly received by many fans, especially since it came on the heels of [[~~All Hail Megatron issue 15~~\|a story]] that showed Prowl taking extreme measures to counteract his fellow Autobots' tendency toward maverick heroism. According to IDW story-editor [[Andy Schmidt]], the change in character was intentional, and IDW was planning on filling in Prowl's backstory later in the ongoing series, but the negative fan-response motivated them to tell the story earlier in the form of ''[[Ride-Along\|Spotlight: Prowl]]''.<ref>[http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/1002/19/schmidt.htm Comics Continuum video interview with Andy Schmidt]</ref>		*Prowl's rash, self-sacrificial decision to break cover and help a Decepticon was poorly received by many fans, especially since it came on the heels of [[Everything in Its Right Place\|a story]] that showed Prowl taking extreme measures to counteract his fellow Autobots' tendency toward maverick heroism.

	*Not only did Don Figueroa overhaul every Transformer in the comic to have new bodies with a movie-inspired feel, but he also designed reinterpretations of the characters' previous IDW bodies in that same experimental style; these call-back designs can be seen on the covers and in the battle scene spread on pages 2 and 3.		*Not only did Don Figueroa overhaul every Transformer in the comic to have new bodies with a movie-inspired feel, but he also designed reinterpretations of the characters' previous IDW bodies in that same experimental style; these call-back designs can be seen on the covers and in the battle scene spread on pages 2 and 3.
	:*Optimus Prime's new body ~~seems to be based on~~ his ''[[Transformers: Classics\|Classics]]'' form.		:*Both having been designed by Don Figueroa, Optimus Prime's new body is loosely reminiscent of his ''[[Transformers: Classics\|Classics]]'' form, but none of the details are quite the same.
	:* Breakdown's design ~~uses~~ the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)\|Universe]]'' ~~Sunstreaker/Sideswipe mold, but movie~~-~~fied~~. He ~~also~~ has his name on his license plate.		:*Breakdown's design shares legs with Figueroa's new design for Sideswipe, which iterates on the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)\|Universe]]''-based design from ''All Hail Megatron''. He has his name on his license plate.
	*The fight scene on pages 2 and 3 seems to be a non-literal image of the conflict on Earth, since it features combatants that could never have met during ''[[The Transformers: All Hail Megatron\|All Hail Megatron]]'' (such as [[Scorponok (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Scorponok]], the [[Dinobot (G1)\|Dynobots]], [[Runabout (G1)\|Runabout]], and [[Runamuck (G1)\|Runamuck]], etc.) Interestingly, it seems to have several callbacks to the G1 cartoon, such as [[Kup (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Kup]] bending a cannon or Ratchet kicking Thundercracker in the groin.		*The fight scene on pages 2 and 3 seems to be a non-literal image of the conflict on Earth, since it features combatants that could never have met during ''[[The Transformers: All Hail Megatron\|All Hail Megatron]]'' (such as [[Scorponok (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Scorponok]], the [[Dinobot (G1)\|Dynobots]], [[Runabout (G1)\|Runabout]], and [[Runamuck (G1)\|Runamuck]], etc.) Interestingly, it seems to have several callbacks to the G1 cartoon, such as [[Kup (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Kup]] bending a cannon or Ratchet kicking Thundercracker in the groin.
	*12 pages of this issue were released to the public as preview images by the time the issue was released. First there was a 3-page preview that highlighted Ironhide's death.

	The attack is monitored by [[Skywatch]] control, and [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Spike Witwicky]] orders his forces to capture the invader. Breakdown is set upon by Spike and several other personnel in armored [[crash suit]]s, built using stolen Cybertronian technology.

	At Autobot base, [[Wheeljack (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Wheeljack]] has engineered a counter to the inhibitors, and Optimus Prime orders him to fit them to their remaining forces. [[Hot Rod (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Hot Rod]] questions Prime's leadership, particularly their presence on Earth and the corresponding loss as more of their number are captured. Prime reiterates the need to protect Earth in case of possible Decepticon attack, but allows Hot Rod to stage a rescue mission to retrieve Prowl; he assigns [[Ironhide (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Ironhide]] to go with him.

	The rescue attempt goes poorly when it is revealed that Prowl was bait in a Skywatch trap; although Hot Rod's team rescues him, Ironhide dies leaping into a blast meant for Hot Rod. Optimus Prime grieves for his friend, and in a speech to his fellow Autobots removes himself as active commander.

On the final panel of the same page, a banner reads "[[Headmaster (Animated)\|NOOB]]". In the first panel on the next page, a sign reads "SMITHIE". Billboards featuring a smiling woman in sunglasses holding a container of an unspecified product named "Zip", (possibly a sunscreen, or a beverage), are apparently popular advertisements in post-restoration Earth.		*A marquee sign in the fourth page's second panel, as Optimus Prime and Megatron battle and destroy the city, seems to read "DARNIT".

	[[Optimus Prime (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Optimus Prime]] reflects on the responsibilities of all advanced races to spread freedom and peace, and laments that all the [[Transformer\|Cybertronians]] have spread is war. The [[Autobot]]s have been in hiding amongst the [[human]]s for the last two years as [[Earth]]'s cities were rebuilt following [[Megatron (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Megatron]]'s planet-wide assault. [[Ratchet (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Ratchet]], [[Streetwise (G1)\|Streetwise]] and [[Prowl (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Prowl]] are in their [[alternate mode]]s, watching for signs of any trouble: trouble that comes as [[Breakdown (G1)\|Breakdown]] destroys a power station in search of [[energon]].		[[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Optimus Prime]] reflects on the responsibilities of all advanced races to spread freedom and peace, and laments that all the [[Transformer\|Cybertronians]] have spread is war.

	The attack is monitored by [[Skywatch]] control, and [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Spike Witwicky]] orders his forces to capture the invader. Breakdown is set upon by Spike and several other personnel in armored [[crash suit]]s, built using stolen Cybertronian technology. Prowl and [[Streetwise (G1)\|Streetwise]] are amongst the human police on the scene, and watch as Breakdown is immobilized and forced into his alternate mode by Skywatch forces. When they bring out their lethal particle cannons, apparently to destroy the [[Decepticon]], Prowl can watch no longer and transforms, only to be brought down in turn: Spike had intended to draw him out all along. As he and Breakdown are driven away, Streetwise contacts the other Autobots...

	At Autobot base, [[Wheeljack (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Wheeljack]] has engineered a counter to the inhibitors, and Optimus Prime orders him to fit them to their remaining forces. [[Hot Rod (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Hot Rod]] questions Prime's leadership, particularly their presence on Earth and the corresponding loss as more of their number are captured. Prime reiterates the need to protect Earth in case of possible Decepticon attack, but allows Hot Rod to stage a rescue mission to retrieve Prowl; he assigns [[Ironhide (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Ironhide]] to go with him.

	The rescue attempt goes poorly when it is revealed that Prowl was bait in a Skywatch trap; although Hot Rod's team rescues him, Ironhide dies leaping into a blast meant for Hot Rod. Optimus Prime grieves for his friend, and in a speech to his fellow Autobots removes himself as active commander.

	*The fight scene on pages 2 and 3 seems to be a non-literal image of the conflict on Earth, since it features combatants that could never have met during ''[[The Transformers: All Hail Megatron\|All Hail Megatron]]'' (such as [[Scorponok (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Scorponok]], the [[Dinobot (G1)\|Dynobots]], [[Runabout (G1)\|Runabout]] and [[Runamuck (G1)\|Runamuck]], etc.) Interestingly, it seems to have several callbacks to the G1 cartoon, such as [[Kup (G1)/IDW ~~Generation 1~~ continuity\|Kup]] bending a cannon or Ratchet kicking Thundercracker in the groin.		*The fight scene on pages 2 and 3 seems to be a non-literal image of the conflict on Earth, since it features combatants that could never have met during ''[[The Transformers: All Hail Megatron\|All Hail Megatron]]'' (such as [[Scorponok (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Scorponok]], the [[Dinobot (G1)\|Dynobots]], [[Runabout (G1)\|Runabout]] and [[Runamuck (G1)\|Runamuck]], etc.) Interestingly, it seems to have several callbacks to the G1 cartoon, such as [[Kup (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Kup]] bending a cannon or Ratchet kicking Thundercracker in the groin.
