Synopsis
[edit]At Autobot Headquarters, the Decepticons are attacking. Brawn successfully beats one to a pulp, not backing off until Wheeljack encourages him to let up. Hound then asks where Optimus Prime is. Wheeljack informs him that he's battling Megatron, but without any weaponry.
As Wheeljack provides play-by-play coverage, Optimus belts Megatron across the face and sends him hurtling through a wall in the Headquarters. Unfortunately, the blow damages Megatron's gyrocompass which acted as an internal stability regulator. This suddenly allows his processors to access a cache of quantum surge energy that had been stored in him for some time. This power boost turns his body black, heals his wounds faster than they can be inflicted and sends his strength rocketing off the scale. Wheeljack laments that they're now dealing with a whole new kind of Megatron.
Megatron does not know where his newfound power has come from, but presuming it to be divine intervention, decides to use it to his advantage in an all-out assault to crush the Autobots.

Notes
[edit]- This comic was included with the 2009 Collector's Edition reissue of Megatron Black Ver. by e-HOBBY.
- The bio accompanying this comic, which included a summary of the events, claimed that Optimus Prime was backed by Hound and Huffer, rather than Hound and Brawn. It also declares that Megatron ordered his Decepticons to continue fighting after the final page's events.
- The quantum surge energy stored inside Megatron's body got there when the Predacon Megatron stole his spark during the Beast Wars.
- The events of this comic would be significantly expanded upon in Legends Vol. 49, as well as retconning away the included bio's claim of Megatron ordering a continued attack on the Autobots after first acquiring his new form, with Legends Vol. 49 instead having him battling alone and then quickly depart after powering up, to seek revenge on Slugslinger.
