| − | ==Synopsis== |
||
| − | [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream's]] [[Decepticon]]s await the [[Autobots]]' incoming attack on their base on [[Mars]] and send out their drones as a welcoming party. [[Smokescreen (Movie)|Smokescreen]] temporarily disables the first attack wave, which [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]] and [[Camshaft (Movie)|Camshaft]] use to destroy a few of them. [[Hardtop (Movie)|Hardtop]], who [[The Reign of Starscream Issue Number Two|previously]] warned [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]] of the impending Autobot attack, prepares to snipe Smokescreen, but is instead sniped himself by [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]]. But just as the Autobots appear to gain the upper hand, a heavily damaged [[Air Raid (Movie)|Air Raid]] is dropped by Thundercracker, who attacks the Autobots with a sonic blast. |

||
| − | <!-- This is why I should have looked behind my back and returned to the''Nemesis''.--> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Thundercracker makes his way through the Autobots, slicing Camshaft in half and knocking down Cliffjumper. Just as he is about to kill Clffjumper too, Arcee, guilt-ridden for [[Prime Directive (IDW) issue 1|having failed to prevent]] [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee's]] mutilation at the hands of [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], attacks Thundercracker, inflicts some damage on him and then continues to attack him together with Cliffjumper. However, Cliffjumper is suddenly shot in the back by Starscream, who then transforms and proceeds to blow up Smokescreen, who is trying to carry the wounded Air Raid to safety. Starsceam returns to Arcee, who is tending a heavily wounded Cliffjumper, and takes her out with one punch. Starscream then returns to his base and prepares a ship for launch, setting course back to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Meanwhile, on a base in the Nevada desert, an arriving [[Sector Seven]] commander is informed about Starscream's abduction of [[Salazar|Agent Salazar]] and in turn provides a theory about how the Transformers create weapons from their own bodies. Unbeknownst to them, they are eavesdropped by [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], who is standing on a mountain ridge nearby the base. The Sector Seven commander instructs his people that the President of the United States wants to have the vehicles that were given life by the [[All Spark (Movie)|Allspark]] in [[Mission City]] destroyed. |
||
| − | |||
| − | An unspecified amount of time later, Starscream's Decepticons return to Cybertron, landing in the city of [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]]. Starscream and Thundercracker are greeted by [[Ramjet (Movie)|Ramjet]], while [[Dreadwing (Movie)|Dreadwing]] prepares to transfer the data retrieved from [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy's]] body. Starscream makes some "renovations" by destroying a giant sculpt of Megatron's head when he's informed by [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]] that construction of a new All Spark Cube is progressing on schedule. |

| − | ==Quotes== |
||
| − | "They're determined, I'll give them that. It seems to be a trait with the Autobots. Prime brings out the best in all of us, and all we want to do is make him proud. But right now, all I want to do is end this war." |
||
| − | :—<b>Arcee</b> has clearly been spending way too much time smoking out with [[Beachcomber (G1)|Beachcomber]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | "Oh, come on, Smoke. What do you think? Skids was a better sparring partner than these guys!" |
||
| − | :—<b>Camshaft</b> demeaning [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and his fighting skills. |
||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | "The past will not repeat itself, I promise." |
||
| − | :—<b>Arcee</b> reminiscing on her inability to help Bumblebee when he was almost killed by Megatron. |
||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | "For a time, I thought of Thundercracker as a worthy second to my command. That thought has now vanished." |
||
| − | :—<b>Starscream</b> muses on Thundercracker's faults and shortcomings. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Errors== |
||
| − | * In [[The Reign of Starscream Issue Number One|issue 1]] (page 10), Starscream states that the [[human]]s' technology is "anything but advanced". Yet on page 12 in this issue, he suddenly praises his "[[alternate mode|new form]]", claiming that it grants him new power, "as if all of [his] abilities and strengths are somehow advanced." Considering that all modern technology allegedly originated via reverse-engineering from [[Sector Seven]] studying [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], this begs the question: What exactly makes an F-22 Raptor so ''special'' that scanning and mimicking it actually ''improves'' Starscream's abilities? |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Notes== |
||
| − | * The vehicles seen inside the [[Sector Seven]] base which have presumably been given life by the [[All Spark (Movie)|All Spark]] in [[Mission City]] include [[Salvage (Movie)|Salvage]], [[Longarm (Movie)|Longarm]] and at least two [[Landmine (Movie)|Landmine]] units, one of them still caught in mid-transformation after having failed in an attempt to be used as a weapon against Starscream in the [[The Reign of Starscream Issue Number Two|previous issue]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * The Decepticon capital city is called [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]], an obvious homage to the original [[Trypticon (G1)|citybot]]. It remains to be seen if this one also transforms into a [[Trypticon (G1)|giant dinosaur]]. Given the structure (and the fact it is destroyed at the end of the story arc) it seems unlikely, but some features of the city do hint to the G1 version (spiky protrusions seem on walkways do bare some resemblance to sharp pointy [[teeth]]). |
||
| − | |||
| − | * The floor of Megatron's palace is covered with pictures of [[Kremzeek]] on page 20. |
||
| − | |||
| − | * The Autobot [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] is briefly mentioned by [[Camshaft (Movie)|Camshaft]] on page 4. |

||
| − | *[[Hardtop (Movie)|Hardtop]] — shot in the head by Autobot sharpshooter [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]]. |
||
| − | *[[Camshaft (Movie)|Camshaft]] — cut in half by [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]]'s second-in-command, [[Thundercracker (Movie)|Thundercracker]]. |
||
| − | *[[Air Raid (Movie)|Air Raid]] — killed in an explosion from Starcream's missiles. |
||
| − | *[[Smokescreen (Movie)|Smokescreen]] — killed, along with Air Raid, in an explosion from Starscream's missiles. |
||
| − | *[[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]]? — Heavily wounded after being shot from behind by [[Starscream (Movie)| Starscream]]. His fate is currently unknown, but it seems things may have turned out for the worse. |
