	On Earth, Baron Karza meets with Commander [[Raith]], leader of his [[Acroyear (group)\|Acroyear]] forces. The Commander informs Karza that the Micronauts' Acroyear has been reconditioned and assigned to an [[Acroyear III]] squad and that the rest of the team is undergoing interrogation by Membros, but raises his concern that the [[Earthwar]] could be won far faster if they committed all of their forces to the fight; Karza explains that an army must always have reinforcements ready to assist if needed, before inviting Raith to use his marksmanship skills against the Earth forces. As Raith mans the [[Mobile Operations Base]]'s artillery, Karza raises the question of where his wife [[Shazraella]] is... which, as it transpires, is within the base, speaking to a [[Time Traveler]]! As she works on a suit of armor, the cosmic being offers her information and aid to further her own goals; but, as she warns the Time Traveler, if it leads her astray, her wrath will be terrible to behold.

As she works on a suit of armor, the cosmic being offers her information and aid to further her own goals; but, as she warns the Time Traveler, if it leads her astray, her wrath will be terrible to behold.

	On board the Sharkos, the ship's crew—[[Antron]], [[Lobros]], [[Kronos (Micronauts)\|Kronos]] and [[Centaurus]]—are engaged in an argument over a game of [[mendaki]]. Membros soon enters, accompanied by what Centaurus assumes one of his torture devices; but it is actually the murderous Micronaut robot Omegatron, which sets to work slaughtering the crew as Membros makes his exit! The Tron manages to defeat all but Centarus, which shoots it point-blank in the cranial unit, but the centauroid soldier is itself taken out by a blast from Larissa. Though Membros has escaped, the Micronauts have captured the Sharkos, and pilot it to the Ministry's base on Earth. They are shot down by Raith when Karza realises something is wrong, but the crew—Micronaut and Tron alike—survive to confront the Baron. Karza enerchanges into his centaur form in order to fight the team, but Oz is saved from his hand-missile by a force field projected by Larissa; despite her intervention, Karza seems to have the upper hand, until the Micronauts' reinforcements arrive in the form of the [[Autobot]]s [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Optimus Prime]], [[Jazz (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Jazz]], and [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Arcee]]!

	Though the tide is turned by the Transformers' intervention, Karza is unimpressed, and summons his own reinforcements in the form of an enormous swarm of Acroyears III, too many for the Autobots to cope with. To add insult to injury, the Baron presents Oz with his newest soldier, the Micronauts' Acroyear, reconditioned to serve him... but it seems that the brainwashing has not taken—not only is Acroyear still loyal to the Micronauts, but Karza's army of robotic Acroyears now follow him instead! While Karza did not see the betrayal coming, he still has tricks up his sleeve—with a switch on his arm, he deactivates the now-rogue Acroyears rather than allowing them to be usurped from his control, and reclaims his fist from Larissa's forcefield. Though the Micronauts no longer have their Acroyear army, Oz is still confident that Karza has to concede, being alone and without advantage after Acroyear pulls Raith from the Ministry ship. But Karza is never alone... for Shazraella, now clad in armor reminiscent of Karza's and wreathed in energy like the powerful Time Travelers, has arrived to stand with her husband!

	Though the tide is turned by the Transformers' intervention, Karza is unimpressed, and summons his own reinforcements in the form of an enormous swarm of Acroyears III, too many for the Autobots to cope with. To add insult to injury, the Baron presents Oz with his newest soldier, the Micronauts' Acroyear, reconditioned to serve him... but it seems that the brainwashing has not ~~taken — not~~ only is Acroyear still loyal to the Micronauts, but Karza's army of robotic Acroyears now follow him instead! While Karza did not see the betrayal coming, he still has tricks up his ~~sleeve — with~~ a switch on his arm, he deactivates the now-rogue Acroyears rather than allowing them to be usurped from his control, and reclaims his fist from Larissa's forcefield. Though the Micronauts no longer have their Acroyear army, Oz is still confident that Karza has to concede, being alone and without advantage after Acroyear pulls Raith from the Ministry ship. But Karza is never alone... for Shazraella, now clad in armor reminiscent of Karza's and wreathed in energy like the powerful Time Travelers, has arrived to stand with her husband!

	==Synopsis==		==Synopsis==
	~~{{mainIDW\|Wrath of Karza issue 4}}~~		[[Membros]] has been confronted by the angry [[Micronaut]]s in his own torture chamber, and they want their question's answered; [[Oziron Rael\|Oz]] and [[Phenolo-Phi\|Phen]] make thinly-veiled threats, but Membros is happy to answer, taking a sadistic pleasure in informing them that their comrade [[Acroyear (Micronaut)\|Acroyear]] has been reconditioned into a loyal soldier for [[Baron Karza]]. When Oz inquires into where they are, the interrogator reveals that they are on a [[Orbital space prison\|Ministry of War prison]] orbiting [[Earth]]; and, further, it has a section for "big" prisoners as well as small: not the [[Human\|Earth giants]], as Phen assumes, but the towering [[Transformer]]s! The interrogation is interrupted by [[Larissa]], who enters the room to inform Oz that [[Biotron (Micronaut)\|Biotron]] has accessed the prison computers, discovering that Membros was telling the truth about Acroyear; however, the robot also has good news, having found the prison of the Transformers that aided them when [[Revolution\|the Micronauts first arrived on Earth]] and dispatched [[Microtron]] and the [[Tron]]s to free them... and that's not all, as he has also found the [[Sharkos]], the ship responsible for destroying the ''[[Heliopolis]]''! Formulating a plan, Oz gets Biotron to have Microtron meet the rest of the team at the Sharkos.
	~~Thanks to {{i\|~~Membros~~}},~~ the [[Micronaut]]s ~~discover a way off the {{i\|orbital space prison}} they have been entrapped~~ in, ~~via Membros~~'s ~~ship~~, ~~the {{i\|Sharkos}}; they also discover~~ that [[Acroyear (Micronaut)\|Acroyear]] has been reconditioned ~~to serve~~ [[Baron Karza]], and that ~~their~~ [[~~Autobot~~]] ~~allies~~ that ~~they~~ [[Revolution\|~~fought with before~~]] ~~are also trapped in~~ the ~~prison~~. ~~Emboldened by~~ the ~~latter fact~~, [[~~Oziron Rael~~]] ~~forms~~ a plan to ~~fight back against Baron Karza~~.

	~~After capturing~~ the Sharkos, the Micronauts confront Karza ~~on Earth~~, ~~with~~ the Autobot ~~trio of~~ [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Optimus Prime]], [[~~Arcee~~ (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|~~Arcee~~]] and [[~~Jazz~~ (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|~~Jazz~~]] ~~taking on Karza~~'~~s micro-scale forces.~~ Karza ~~attempts to overwhelm~~ the ~~Autobots with~~ an ~~army~~ of ~~{{i\|Acroyear~~ III~~\|third-generation Acroyears}} led by~~ the ~~Micronauts' former comrade~~, ~~but~~ the Micronauts' Acroyear ~~reveals himself~~ to ~~have overcome~~ the brainwashing ~~and~~ taken ~~control of~~ the army! ~~Though~~ Karza ~~uses~~ a ~~hidden override~~ to ~~destroy~~ the Acroyear army, ~~the Micronauts~~ still ~~have~~ the ~~upper hand~~... ~~until~~ Karza's ~~wife [[Shazraella]] reveals herself, empowered by~~ the powerful ~~{{i\|~~Time ~~Traveler}}s~~!		On Earth, Baron Karza meets with Commander [[Raith]], leader of his [[Acroyear (group)\|Acroyear]] forces. The Commander informs Karza that the Micronauts' Acroyear has been reconditioned and assigned to an [[Acroyear III]] squad and that the rest of the team is undergoing interrogation by Membros, but raises his concern that the [[Earthwar]] could be won far faster if they committed all of their forces to the fight; Karza explains that an army must always have reinforcements ready to assist if needed, before inviting Raith to use his marksmanship skills against the Earth forces. As Raith mans the [[Mobile Operations Base]]'s artillery, Karza raises the question of where his wife [[Shazraella]] is... which, as it transpires, is within the base, speaking to a [[Time Traveler]]! As she works on a suit of armor, the cosmic being offers her information and aid to further her own goals; but, as she warns the Time Traveler, if it leads her astray, her wrath will be terrible to behold.

			On board the Sharkos, the ship's crew—[[Antron]], [[Lobros]], [[Kronos]] and [[Centaurus]]—are engaged in an argument over a game of [[mendaki]]. Membros soon enters, accompanied by what Centaurus assumes one of his torture devices; but it is actually the murderous Micronaut robot Omegatron, which sets to work slaughtering the crew as Membros makes his exit! The Tron manages to defeat all but Centarus, which shoots it point-blank in the cranial unit, but the centauroid soldier is itself taken out by a blast from Larissa. Though Membros has escaped, the Micronauts have captured the Sharkos, and pilot it to the Ministry's base on Earth. They are shot down by Raith when Karza realises something is wrong, but the crew—Micronaut and Tron alike—survive to confront the Baron. Karza enerchanges into his centaur form in order to fight the team, but Oz is saved from his hand-missile by a force field projected by Larissa; despite her intervention, Karza seems to have the upper hand, until the Micronauts' reinforcements arrive in the form of the [[Autobot]]s [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Optimus Prime]], [[Jazz (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Jazz]], and [[Arcee (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Arcee]]!

			Though the tide is turned by the Transformers' intervention, Karza is unimpressed, and summons his own reinforcements in the form of an enormous swarm of Acroyears III, too many for the Autobots to cope with. To add insult to injury, the Baron presents Oz with his newest soldier, the Micronauts' Acroyear, reconditioned to serve him... but it seems that the brainwashing has not taken — not only is Acroyear still loyal to the Micronauts, but Karza's army of robotic Acroyears now follow him instead! While Karza did not see the betrayal coming, he still has tricks up his sleeve — with a switch on his arm, he deactivates the now-rogue Acroyears rather than allowing them to be usurped from his control, and reclaims his fist from Larissa's forcefield. Though the Micronauts no longer have their Acroyear army, Oz is still confident that Karza has to concede, being alone and without advantage after Acroyear pulls Raith from the Ministry ship. But Karza is never alone... for Shazraella, now clad in armor reminiscent of Karza's and wreathed in energy like the powerful Time Travelers, has arrived to stand with her husband!

			===Continuity notes===
			*Baron Karza first used his hand-launching power in [[Micronauts issue 3\|issue #3]]; it was established as being thanks to his [[Enerchange]] abilities in his ''[[Hasbro Heroes Sourcebook]]'' profile.

			===Errors===
			*Karza makes no response to seeing Larissa alive, despite being crushed by her apparent death back in [[Wrath of Karza issue 2\|issue #2]].

			===Other notes===
			*Originally solicited for release in July, this issue arrives a month late in the middle of August, continuing IDW's series of ongoing delays.
			*Yes, Acroyear overcoming the reconditioning and taking control of the Acroyear III army comes completely out of nowhere. You're not missing anything; it just... ''happens'', with no buildup or explanation.
