The Transformers #49

The cover of this 1988 Marvel issue promises internal chaos among the Decepticon ranks, with the bold tagline "Decepticon Fights Decepticon!" setting the stage for a faction torn apart from within. A massive blue robot looms in the foreground, grinning menacingly, while a young blond human scrambles amid a chaotic crowd of battling Cybertronians — Decepticons clashing in a frenzied melee of claws, cannons, and mechanical muscle. A corner caption teases that Starscream is conquering all, making this third chapter of "The Underbase Saga" feel like a real turning point in the arc, with cover art by José Delbo, Danny Bulanadi, and John Romita bringing the mayhem to vivid life.
