After their own attacks prove ineffective, Darkwing and Dreadwind abandon Nebulos. They send a message to Razorclaw, who in turn contacts the <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Decepticon_High_Command" title="Decepticon High Command">High Command</a>. After being briefed, Megatron authorizes Razorclaw to do what ever is necessary to stop Thunderwing, even if it means destroying Cybertron in the process.

The Wreckers breach the pressure vat chamber and discover a catatonic Bludgeon within his shell, Iguanus, dying from being cleft in two by Bludgeon's sword and Jetfire, who tells Prime to shut Bludgeon's control throne down. Jetfire gets to work on the data in Bludgeon's computers, but an orbital warning sounds—with Bludgeon's control system destroyed, Thunderwing is returning home...

  • Iguanus has a different design for his face during his "death" scene with Prime.

  • Megatron's brief appearance in this issue links directly to the final panels of <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Infiltration_%28issue_3%29" class="mw-redirect" title="Infiltration (issue 3)">Infiltration #3</a>.
  • The Decepticomments section had readers' mail answered by Chris Ryall.
  • Optimus Prime's hand-held rifles are pretty obviously those from his <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Optimus_Prime_%28G1%29_toys#PMOP" title="Optimus Prime (G1) toys">Powermaster body</a>. This in mind, his arm-mounted twin-cannons could be inspired by the same toy.

  • Cover A: Wreckers wraparound cover by Don Figueroa.

This cover can be combined with similar ones from the other three issues to form a giant battle scene.
