The Transformers #13

In "Heart Like A Wheel," Hot Rod makes a desperate bid to reclaim the Matrix from a hidden Decepticon stronghold, pushing himself to the edge in a mission that tests his courage and resolve. Written by Mike Costa and illustrated by Nick Roche, with colors by J. Brown and letters by Chris Mowry, this pivotal issue sees Hot Rod’s sacrifice echo through the stars, as a revived Megatron strikes him down in a brutal act of reclamation. The cover by Don Figueroa captures the moment’s intensity, a striking visual of a fallen hero against a cosmic backdrop.
