“Decepticon Graffiti!”

In "Decepticon Graffiti!", Megatron sends the Battlechargers to Earth to leave their mark—literally—scrawling their insignia across American landmarks. Meanwhile, Circuit Breaker pushes her experiments further, piecing together a makeshift Autobot from salvaged parts and syncing herself into its frame. The issue’s dynamic blend of high-octane action and inventive sci-fi mechanics shines through Bob Budiansky’s sharp writing and Don Perlin’s detailed artwork, with Ian Akin and Brian Garvey’s inks adding depth to every panel. The cover by Herb Trimpe, inked by Akin and Garvey, captures the chaos in bold, striking detail.

Megatron brings the two Battlechargers to Earth from Cyberton, and they go on a graffiti-writing spree on landmarks around the U.S. Circuit Breaker continues her tests on the half-destroyed Autobots that she's captured, jury-rigs one Autobot together from different parts, and interfaces herself into it. She then confronts the Battlechargers at the Statue of Liberty and beats them.
