Overview
Set some time after the events of The War Within: The Dark Ages, The Age of Wrath finds the various factions on the brink of signing a peace accord, with the Autobots coming out on top after the Border Wars. The ceremonies are rudely interrupted by the arrival of Megatron, however; soon the Decepticon leader has conquered the entire planet with an army of drones, with most of the Autobots enslaved. A band of Autobot freedom fighters captures one of the drones to study, while searching for the lost Optimus Prime.
The series made prominent use of some later-era characters such as Nightbeat and Getaway, and even the Turbomasters.
Dreamwave went bankrupt after the publication of issue #3, preventing the publication of the final three issues.
Creative team
Like its two predecessors, the series was written by Simon Furman. Pencils were done by Joe Ng, who provided additional re-designs of old characters to give them Cybertronian vehicle forms.
Items of note
- One character from this series was later made into a toy for the Titanium Series toy line: Ultra Magnus. However, while the comic depicts Magnus to look much like his traditional appearance, the toy is a repaint of War Within Optimus Prime, designed by Don Figueroa. Magnus was never seen to transform in the series so it's possible his inner robot/cab was a white repaint of Prime.
