The Transformers #35
In "The Next Best Thing to Being There!, Part 1," Shockwave unleashes the Constructicons in a bid to crush the Autobots, setting the stage for a brutal clash that sees the Decepticons merge into the towering Devastator. As the battle rages, Shockwave is left puzzled by Optimus Prime’s failure to awaken Jetfire with the Creation Matrix—unaware that the true power of the Matrix has already passed to another. Written by Bob Budiansky and illustrated by Ricardo Villamonte, with Brad Joyce on inks and Nel Yomtov handling colors, this 1985 Marvel UK issue delivers a tense, action-packed start to a pivotal arc, all framed by Will Simpson’s dynamic cover.
In "The Next Best Thing to Being There!, Part 1," the Autobots face a new threat as Shockwave unleashes the Constructicons, culminating in their fusion into the towering Devastator. With Optimus Prime's mysterious absence from Jetfire's activation leaving questions in his wake, the Autobots must rely on their wits and courage—while a young human, Buster Witwicky, watches from the sidelines, wondering if he can help.
