The Transformers: Devastation

The Transformers: Devastation is a 6-issue mini-series published by IDW Publishing in 2007, and set in the main IDW continuity. It directly follows The Transformers: Escalation, and ramps up the action even further for the Generation 1 Transformers. As the Autobots discover that the humans are aware of the location of their base, Megatron summons Sixshot to Earth to hasten its... well, devastation!

Devastation is to be followed by Revelation sometime in 2008.

Upon urging from Sideswipe, Optimus Prime agrees for Hound's unit travel to Earth and assigns Jetfire to supervise the decommissioning of Bludgeon's base.

After discovering that their position has been compromised, the Autobots plan to move the Ark-19 to the Gulf of Mexico. Unfortunately they are intercepted by Sixshot, who has been ordered by Megatron to terminate the Autobots. Sixshot disables the Ark-19 and the Autobots are forced to make a crash landing into the closest shoreline, ejecting an escape pod containing Ratchet, Verity and Jimmy. The ship's data is sent to the Ark-32 before it self-destructs in the ocean.

Prior to the attack on the Ark-19, Hot Rod and Wheeljack embarked on a mission to rescue Ironhide, who was seriously injured in an explosion. Escalation (issue 6) On route, they are forced to deal with a gang of Sunstreaker clones whom they discover are actually Headmasters, controlled by the Machination. At the Machination's headquarters, Hunter, a Headmaster himself, sneaks around and discovers the real Sunstreaker's detached head.

The other Decepticons are upset that Megatron has ruined their efforts at infiltration by bringing in Sixshot, so Astrotrain and Blitzwing awaken Starscream, who is being repaired in a CR chamber.

Meanwhile, Skywatch has reprogrammed Ravage and plans to use him to track down the other Transformers.
