“The New Order”

In "The New Order," the Autobots are reeling after Shockwave captures nearly all of them, leaving only Ratchet free and the rest damaged and imprisoned aboard the Ark—now Shockwave’s fortress. As Buster stumbles upon the severed head of Optimus Prime, the fate of the Autobots hangs in the balance. Written by Bob Budiansky and illustrated by Alan Kupperberg, with vibrant colors by Nel Yomtov and sharp lettering by Rick Parker, this pivotal 1985 issue features a striking cover by M. D. Bright.
