The Transformers #25

In "Gone but Not Forgotten!", Megatron’s descent into madness after Prime’s demise takes a dangerous turn as Shockwave manipulates the Predacons into attacking him, using forged Autobot symbols to turn the tide. With his mind fractured and his rage unchecked, Megatron barely survives the ambush—only to uncover Shockwave’s deceit and face a choice that will redefine his path. Written by Bob Budiansky and illustrated by Don Perlin, with inks by Ian Akin and Brian Garvey, and vibrant colors by Nel Yomtov, this pivotal 1987 issue sees the fate of Cybertron hang in the balance. The cover, a striking piece by Herb Trimpe, captures the moment of reckoning with chilling intensity.
