	Having just dispatched [[Bumblebee (Movie)\|Bumblebee]], [[Megatron (Movie)\|Megatron]] ~~pursues~~ the [[AllSpark]] into space, intent on intercepting the cube before it reaches its destination - the [[Alkaris Anomaly]], a wormhole that would transport it to any one of an infinite number of potential locations throughout the universe. Passing by [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]]'s moon, Megatron finds himself ensnared by a powerful [[tractor beam]] that pulls him down to the moon's surface. Freeing himself by destroying the beam projector with a reverse particle stream, Megatron turns his weapons on the Autobots responsible - [[Jazz (Movie)\|Jazz]], [[Ratchet (Movie)\|Ratchet]] and [[Ironhide (Movie)\|Ironhide]] - but soon realises that this is what they want, as it will delay him from his pursuit of the AllSpark.		Having just dispatched [[Bumblebee (Movie)\|Bumblebee]], [[Megatron (Movie)\|Megatron]] learns that this was all a distraction to launch the [[AllSpark]] into space. He takes flight, intent on intercepting the cube before it reaches its destination - the [[Alkaris Anomaly]], a wormhole that would transport it to any one of an infinite number of potential locations throughout the universe.

	[[File:Movie Devastator TitanIssue2.jpg\|left\|200px\|thumb\|~~Infiltrator and Escalator couldn't make it, so..~~.]]		Passing by [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]]'s moon, however, Megatron finds himself ensnared by a powerful [[tractor beam]] that pulls him down to the moon's surface. Freeing himself by destroying the beam projector with a reverse particle stream, Megatron turns his weapons on the Autobots responsible - [[Jazz (Movie)\|Jazz]], [[Ratchet (Movie)\|Ratchet]] and [[Ironhide (Movie)\|Ironhide]] - but soon realises that this is what they want, as it will delay him from his pursuit of the AllSpark.
	Instead, Megatron summons [[Brawl (Movie)\|Devastator]] from Cybertron to fight in his place as he goes after the cube, but Megatron proves unable to stop the AllSpark from entering the anomaly, and decides to enter it himself. The battle on the moon comes to an explosive end when Devastator unleashed a [[foldspace warhead]] - while he himself is at ground zero - and the combatants all vanish in a flash of light. Meanwhile, Megatron is disgorged from the wormhole in some far-off region of space, with no trace of the AllSpark...

	Instead, Megatron summons [[Brawl (Movie)\|Devastator]] from Cybertron to fight in his place as he goes after the cube, but Megatron proves unable to stop the ~~All Spark~~ from entering the anomaly, and decides to enter it himself. The battle on the moon comes to an explosive end when Devastator unleashed a [[foldspace warhead]] - while he himself is at ground zero - and the combatants all vanish in a flash of light. Meanwhile, Megatron is disgorged from the wormhole in some far-off region of space, with no trace of the ~~All Spark~~...

Neither of those pages is the page where Megatron sees the ~~All Spark~~ though (whereas he's looking at it on page 1 here), which is either an accidental error or a deliberate decision to condence things.		* The first two pages of ''Prelude'' actually ''copy'', in abridged form, two of the pages from ''Movie Prequel''.

	* As in the film itself, Brawl is here named "Devastator"; next issue, the editor will refer to Devastator as being a different character to Brawl. Amusingly, to amp up his "heavily-armed" appearance even ''more'', he's decorated with a pair of bandoleers. These straps are colored purple, which combine well with his normal green coloration to bring to mind the classic Devastator green-purple color scheme.		* As in the film itself, Brawl is here named "Devastator"; next issue, the editor will refer to Devastator as being a different character to Brawl.
