The Transformers #108

In the wake of a devastating loss, Megatron spirals into madness, haunted by the memory of Optimus Prime’s fall—fueled not by his own hand, but by the lingering echo of Ethan’s final act. As Shockwave manipulates the Predacons into attacking him, using forged Autobot symbols to turn the tide, Megatron fights back with fury, only to uncover the truth behind the betrayal. With a flicker of memory from a labeled computer disk, he makes a desperate choice—destroying the space bridge in a final vow to never fall to Prime again.

In "The Coming of the Inhumanoids! (part 2) or 'I Left My Monsters in San Francisco'", the Earth Corps is scattered and on the edge, chasing the Inhumanoids through San Francisco’s shifting landscape. As Herc Armstrong and Eddie Auger barely survive a deadly ambush in an underwater cave, Dr. Derek Bright faces a chilling confrontation at the oil rig where Tendril was unleashed—only to be confronted by Blackthorne Shore and his mercenaries. Meanwhile, Jonathan M. Slattery ventures into the haunted Big Sur woods, where ancient trees reveal the dark truth behind the Inhumanoids’ creation, while the team regroups, unaware that Tendril is already closing in.
