Baron Karza is forced to join forces with the Micronauts and the Autobots when Shazraella makes a decision with terrible consequences.

Synopsis

Main article: Wrath of Karza issue 5 on the IDW Hasbro Wiki

With Shazraella empowered by the power of a Time Traveler, the Micronauts are forced to confront her themselves, while Optimus Prime picks up her husband Baron Karza to deal with the tiny despot. Karza, however, has other plans, and Enerchanges with the body of Micronus Prime, transforming him into a centauroid giant that towers over the Autobots! While the Transformers and their giant foe battle, Shazraella harnesses the blue energy flowing through her, and time is altered: the Transformers now wear industrial-era alternate modes, while the Micronauts' forms and clothing shift again and again. The Micronauts try to stop Shazraella, but in the process, their leader Oziron Rael is reduced to dust.

In the past, Oz meets with a Time Traveler in a strange realm, and it cuts through his jokes telling him that—though he will not remember their conversation until the time comes—he will one day fight in a war between Time Travelers on behalf of Earth, and time itself will embrace him.

When the Karza-Micronus fusion sees Shazraella wielding what he recognises as the power of the Entropy Cloud, he is horrified, and immediately asks that the Autobots end their feud with him in order to not lose their universe to the Cloud as well. Optimus agrees to ally with Karza against the greater threat, but her power means she effortlessly tears Karza from Micronus Prime's form and banishes the latter through time. The Micronauts' and Transformers' battle seems hopeless, but at the last minute, they are reinforced: Oz has returned, ascended to become a Time Traveler himself, and pulls the mad Time Traveler that had given Shazraella her power from her body, sealing him into a time chamber. With the threat gone, Oz promises unity between Microspace and Earth; the Time Travelers will create permanent space bridges between the two dimensions, and repair the harm caused by the Entropy Cloud. Optimus pledges to help the refugees of Microspace adjust to Earth, while the Micronauts set off on a new adventure without their captain.

But across the country, Shazraella still has cards to play, while Baron Karza clings to the idea of saving his people...

Notes

Continuity notes

  • The mad Time Traveler was established to be the root of the Entropy Storm back in Wrath of Karza #3. We don't blame you if you forgot, since those Karza-in-the-Entropy-Storm interludes seemed a bit samey at the time.
  • The second set of time-warped forms taken on by the Transformers are all Cybertronian bodies used by the characters earlier in IDW history: Optimus Prime sports his original pre-Earth design, which debuted in Stormbringer, Jazz has his body from his Spotlight's flashback story, and Arcee wears the War for Cybertron design she spent Robots in Disguise "season 1" in.
