Now that's gotta hurt!

Template:Comicnav The Machination's plans proceed as another group enters the field. Oh, and Prime fights Megatron.


Synopsis

An unidentified Transformer appearing to be severely damaged speaks with Dante of the Machination about replacing its body.

In Brasnya, Megatron and Prime have a colossal battle while the other Autobots skirmish with the Decepticons. Hot Rod captures Georgi Koska. But Megatron's Ore-13 power allows him to beat Prime to seeming death and crush Roller beneath rubble.

In Fort Wayne, a worried Ironhide smashes through the auto-parts store to find out what happened to Jimmy and Verity and discovers them unconscious (gassed) and a timer counting down.

In a followup to Spotlight: Shockwave, an archaeological dig in Eureka has been taken over by Skywatch, and have halfway dug out Shockwave and the Dinobots.

Errors

  • Skywarp is coloured as Thundercracker when Megatron calls to him for evacuation.

Items of note

  • The "Decepticomments" section has readers' mail answered by Dan Taylor.
  • When Ironhide smashes into the shop, a poster featuring a girl next to a car advertises "Kiss Players". Optimus wasn't kidding when he said they were exposed...
