| In the present, Starscream attempts to escape oppression from the behemoth Omega Supreme, who has already grabbed the weakened Sunstorm. Scarscream decides that he has better chances with his brother on the loose than being hunted don by the titan Autobot, so he turns and uses a shot from his [[null ray]] to destroy the apparatuc that was keeping Sunstorm's power down to manageable levels. Sunstorm quickly eawakens and Omega's grasp.

| On [[Cybertron]], Prowl becomes frustrated by his casual study of the energy aberration in Shockwave's abandoned laboratory in [[Quadrant Epsilon]] found [[Black Sunshine|two issues ago]] by the [[Protectobots]]. The study leads to an analysis on the theoretical engineering of [[Vector Sigma]]. Ultra Magnus communicates with Prowl over a video-screen regarding arrangements for tomorrow's meeting with some other Autobots, and Ultra Magnus advises that Prowl get some rest.

| Under rainfall in Oregon, Warpath and Bumper hoist some deacivated Autobots out of the lake where Starscream hid the bodies after they were damaged in the [[Combaticons|Combaticon's]] [[Night of the Combaticons|attack.]] The two Autobots are ambushed by a large number of humans from the [[Earth Defense Command]] lead by Marissa Fairborne. Bumper, being the more level-headed of the two active Autobots, decides that surrender is the best idea.

| | |
| Also Starscream's responsibility is the epic showdown outside between Sunstorm and Omega Supreme. The two toss massive amounts of energy at each other, with Omega Supreme winning the standoff, causing the self-righteous psychopath to fall to the ground. Omega Supreme takes a closer look at his (relatively) tiny foe, who now has a clear shot right into Omega Supreme's unprotected face.

| ==Notes of interest==
| |
| *The name of the issue is borrowed from the name of [[wikipedia:Darkseid (comics)|Darkseid's]] trademark eye-lasers.
| |
| *It's ambiguous if the flashback on the opening pages takes place after Starscream hijacked Megatron's plans in [[The War Within]] and destroyed Iacon while Megatron was fighting Optimus, or if it occurs sometime during [[The War Within: The Dark Ages]] when Starscream killed the remaining elders during his attack on the peace talks and Megatron returned from deep space.
| |
| *Bumper makes a reference to Bumblebee's underwater skills, mentioned on G1 Bumblebee's [[tech spec]].
| |
| *How did [[The Orion]] get to [[Alaska]] from [[Oregon]]? Well pressumably it flew. Shuttles can do that, you know.

| ==Summary==
| |
| After being [[New World Order|blasted into space]] by Starscream, Megatron floats in a state of near-death through the coldness of the void. He tries to remain alert to retain his dignity, but eventually blacks out.
| |
| | |
| Some time later, after he has been [[recovered|Revelation]] from his free-float, Megatron violently awakens while receiving repair from the [[Junkion]] who introduces himself as Wreck-Gar.
| |
| | |
| Megatron recounts what he's learned since his defeat at the hands (err, hand) of Shockwave. His new combat ideology will dispose of needless emotions. A trio of emotionless clones will assist him in his new quest to not only conquer the universe, but also take revenge for his defeat and abandonment. Wreck-Gar arrives, happily mislead into thinking Megatron is a good guy. Megatron shows his appreciation for Wreck-Gar's efforts by stabbing through the Junkion, and the canon blast to finish Wreck-Gar signals the start of Megatron's retribution.

| ==Notes of interest==
| |
| *This issue takes it's name from a song by [[human]] music group [[wikipedia: Van Halen|Van Halen]].
| |
| *Wreck-Gar's repair has allowed Megatron to recovery from the lobotomy he received from [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] during the [[War Within, Part 6|early days]] of the war.
| |
| *It's unlikely that Wreck-Gar was fatally injured, considering the resilient nature of the [[Junkions]].
| |
| * Wreck-Gar's recap of events is done in the style of over exposed [[wikipedia: Master Card|Mastercard]] advertisements.
| |
| *Wreck-Gar continues to refer to Megatron as [[wikipedia: I Love Lucy|Lucy.]]
