Synopsis
[edit]
A BNN newscast shows footage of the earlier attack on the Skywatch base, and reports that a caravan of vehicles have just left the area. This caravan, consisting of both Autobots and Skywatch troops, flees towards Omega Supreme, but comes under attack from a Mexican militia armed with Megatron replica guns and a grudge against Transformers. Ultra Magnus prepares to defend himself, but is convinced by Pennington that opening fire on humans would only further ruin the Autobots' view in the public eye. Despite Huffer's complaints, they continue their retreat under fire.
In Thundercracker's lair, Starscream attempts to sway him into rejoining the Decepticon army, but is rebuffed. Pointing out how the Decepticons left him for dead years ago, Thundercracker declares that he doesn't need them anymore, compares Starscream's offer to Bumblebee's. Starscream explains that unlike the Autobots, he doesn't want Thundercracker to save humans, but to overthrow Megatron, whom he believes lacks long-term goals and only returned for mindless revenge. When Thundercracker just turns his back on this proposal, Starscream guns him down. As he verbally assaults the injured seeker for his attitude, however, Starscream is in turn attacked and beaten by Brawn, who accuses Starscream of shooting down Optimus Prime's plane. Starscream pleads for mercy and denies the accusation...
Two miles out from Omega Supreme, the civilians chasing the Autobot caravan are suddenly killed by a massive blast from the air; Megatron himself descends in his new stealth bomber alternate mode and transforms. The Autobots attack, but their weapons fail to put a scratch on the Decepticon leader's new body, and they find themselves crippled from only a single blast from his cannon. As Megatron begins to gloat to Ultra Magnus, he is interrupted by Skywatch soldiers firing a suppressor, but he withstands the device and eradicates them with little effort. Magnus protests, begging Megatron to focus on him, but Megatron declares that the Autobots aren't his target... humanity is.
Meanwhile, in San Francisco Bay, Optimus Prime, Spike Witwicky and their troops emerge from the ocean depths, having survived their plane crash.

Quotes
[edit]"Pennington, do you read? We're back online. And we're looking for whoever's butt needs kicking for this."
- —Spike Witwicky is mad as hell, and not gonna take it anymore.
Notes
[edit]Transformers references
[edit]- Although the robot-mode deco on Megatron's new body's arguably owes more to his Animated counterpart's "Shadow Blade" repaint, the reveal of his new stealth bomber alternate mode in this issue is almost certainly a nod to his unreleased "ATB Megatron" Generation 2 toy, which also featured a similar color scheme.
- Milne draws Windcharger in his Reveal the Shield toy's design.
Real-world references
[edit]- The title Woken Furies is once again taken from a book by Richard K. Morgan. One of two sequels to Altered Carbon, it was released in 2008.
- Emotional raving like Lani Gushman's isn't unusual among hosts and pundits in American cable news, but it is among on-scene reporters. Perhaps that's why her network broke professional protocol by replaying unedited footage of her on-screen death. That's cold, BNN.
Trivia
[edit]- It's amazing that the Mexican militia was able to smuggle themselves—vehicles, weapons, and all—across the border without any attention-getting conflict. They could potentially be an American militia rejecting government authority (with a slightly different context to "not my country"), but this would leave the matter of the guerrillas from issue #11 unresolved.
Errors
[edit]- The back of Soundwave's leg faces the cameraman when he steps on Lani Gushman. How did she miss a Transformer walking directly toward her?
- Huffer is colored yellow and blue, when he's supposed to be orange and purple.
- Although heavily bandaged and using a crutch, Pennington is up and walking. In the previous issue, Silverstreak stated that he might be too injured to even be transported.
- As he comes out of the water, Ratchet's torso is colored dark gray.
Covers (3)
[edit]- Cover A: A grinning Megatron with a human skull on his finger; art by Marcelo Matere and colors by Andrew Dalhouse. Art reused for TPB cover.
