“The New Order, Part 1”

In "The New Order, Part 1," Shockwave’s ruthless campaign reaches a chilling peak as he captures nearly all the Autobots, leaving only Ratchet free—though barely. With the Ark now his fortress, Buster stumbles upon a horrifying sight: the head of Optimus Prime, severed and seemingly lifeless, floating in the wreckage. Written by Bob Budiansky and illustrated by Alan Kupperberg, this pivotal issue sees the Autobots at their lowest, their fate hanging in the balance. The cover by M. D. Bright captures the grim intensity of the moment, a 0.27 GBP comic from 1985 that marks a turning point in the war.
