Overview

[edit]

Megatron unleashes his "living weapon", Sixshot, on the Autobots. After shooting down the Autobots' craft, this unstoppable killing machine hunts down Ratchet and the Autobots' human allies. Meanwhile, the Decepticons have problems of their own: the Reapers have arrived on Earth, intending to scour it clean of all life—starting with the Decepticons. But the denizens of the Dead Universe have plans for Earth too, and refuse to give it to another unworthy species.

Creative team

[edit]

The creative team from Infiltration and Escalation (writer Simon Furman and penciller E. J. Su) reunited for the bulk of Devastation. However Su's paternity leave meant he was unable to pencil the entire arc. Nick Roche took over for issue 3, with Robby Musso working on issue 4. Su returned for issues 5 and 6. Colors were provided by Zac Atkinson for the first five issues, with help from Liam Shalloo on issue #4 and assists from Josh Burcham and Kris Carter on issue #5. Burcham colored issue #6.
