Synopsis
The Autobot leader Sentinel Prime is killed in battle and the Council of Autobot Elders select Optronix, an undistinguished archivist as the new Autobot leader. At first unwilling, Optronix finally accepts the Matrix of Leadership and through its power is upgraded into Optimus Prime.
Shortly after, he is attacked by a Decepticon assassination squad and Grimlock prevents the other Autobots from interfering so that they can discover how good a leader he is likely to be. Prime defeats the three Decepticon attackers without difficulty, much to the admiration of the watching Autobots. Their elation is soon turned to dismay, when Prime announces that he doesn't feel that Cybertron is worth fighting for and orders the Autobots to evacuate.
Errors
- Skywarp's and Thundercracker's colors schemes are reversed in one panel.
Items of note
- This is the first of Dreamwave Productions' series of tales about the early days of the Transformers war.
- The War Within series sees most of the characters being given "new" body designs, due to the fact that it takes long before they arrived on Earth.
- The term Seeker is used in official canon for the first time.
