“The Next Best Thing to Being There!”

In "The Next Best Thing to Being There!", the Decepticons unleash the Constructicons—Shockwave’s new enforcers—on the Autobots, culminating in their dramatic fusion into the towering Devastator. As the Autobots rally to face the colossal threat, Shockwave remains puzzled by Optimus Prime’s unexpected failure to activate Jetfire with the Creation Matrix, unaware that the true power has already passed to another. Written by Bob Budiansky and illustrated by Ricardo Villamonte, with inks by Brad Joyce, colors by Nel Yomtov, and letters by Janice Chiang, this 1985 Marvel classic features a cover by Kyle Baker.

Shockwave creates the Constructicons to destroy the Autobots. The Constructicons then later merge into Devastator when faced vs. the Autobots' attack, but are defeated. Shockwave wonders why Optimus Prime has failed to infuse life into Jetfire with his creation matrix (since he doesn't know that Prime passed on the full effects to Buster).
