	*In an unusual twist on the standard for the character, [[Primus]] is here claimed to be the first creation of the AllSpark, from whom the Dynasty of Primes are descended. It is, mind you, presented only as a legend, what the Transformers ''believe'', so there remains plenty of wiggle-room for the typical multiversal origin of Primus to hold true. More to the point, this telling of events appears to be a crafty way to reconcile the Dynasty's claim from [[Tales of the Fallen issue 4\|''Tales of the Fallen'' #4]] that they were the "children of Primus" without discounting the much more widely-related origin story of all Transformers being spawned by the AllSpark.		*In an unusual twist on the standard for the character, [[Primus]] is here claimed to be the first creation of the AllSpark, from whom the Dynasty of Primes are descended.

	*Optimus refers to being "hidden and alone" when Sentinel Prime found him; although he doesn't know it himself, he's alluding to his being hidden away to hide him from The Fallen, something left out of the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)\|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' film, but mentioned in [[Revenge of the Fallen issue 3\|issue #3]] of IDW's [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Official Movie Adaptation\|comic book adaptation]].		*Optimus refers to being "hidden and alone" when Sentinel Prime found him; although he doesn't know it himself, he's alluding to his being hidden away to hide him from The Fallen, something left out of the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)\|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' film, but mentioned in [[Revenge of the Fallen issue 3\|issue #3]] of IDW's [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Official Movie Adaptation\|comic book adaptation]].
	*A lot of this issue compliments and informs IDW's previous prequel comic, ''[[Transformers: Defiance\|Defiance]]'', working hard to work the new ''Dark of the Moon''-specific backstory elements in to the setting of that series while simultaneously doing a ''lot'' of world-building. Elements built upon from ''Defiance'' include the establishment of the dual-pronged leadership of Cybertron shared by Optimus and Megatron that was in place with the series began, complete with the broken-down relationship between the two former brothers and Megatron having authority, Arcee being part of Optimus's science division, and Ironhide being one of Megatron's warriors.		*A lot of this issue compliments and informs IDW's previous prequel comic, ''[[Transformers: Defiance\|Defiance]]'', working hard to work the new ''Dark of the Moon''-specific backstory elements in to the setting of that series while simultaneously doing a ''lot'' of world-building.

Line 31:		Line 31:
	:A substantial amount of time later, as the new order of Cybertron settles in, malcontents emerge that challenge Optimus and Megatron's dual-pronged rule. A Defense Force strike team consisting of Shockwave, [[Fracture (Movie)\|Fracture]], [[Brawl (Movie)\|Brawl]], [[Barricade (Movie)\|Barricade]] and [[Astrotrain (DOTM)\|Astrotrain]] brutally massacres a contingent of these dissenters, but one escapes, rushing into the sights of Ironhide, Chromia and Starscream. Starscream slaughters the runner despite his surrender. This latest strike prompts Megatron to speak with Optimus, and so he sends Ironhide to Optimus's latest archaeological dig, where he is shocked to see they have unearthed some strange ruins that they believe may be connected to the Primes. Though momentarily distracted by this, Ironhide delivers his message, and Optimus soon appears before Megatron to receive a startling proclamation: continuing increase in malcontent activity means that Megatron's force will need to assume supremacy in the rule of the planet. Optimus opens his mouth to oppose the idea, but when Megatron simply challenges Optimus to stop him, Prime silently acquiesces.		:A substantial amount of time later, as the new order of Cybertron settles in, malcontents emerge that challenge Optimus and Megatron's dual-pronged rule.

	''~~Relfecting~~ on those events of the distant past, Optimus wonders if power corrupted Megatron, or if his former brother-in-arms was merely trying to convince him that his methods were the true way to the future. Although it may have take some time, Optimus realizes, he has now come to believe Megatron was right, and as he arrives at the foot of the Decepticon's tower, he vows he will kill him no matter what...''
