Transformers #[2]

In a desperate bid to reclaim the Ark, Ratchet teams up with Optimus Prime, who urges him not to lose hope. With Megatron’s promise of victory over Shockwave as his only path forward, Ratchet sets off into the wilds—knowing full well the Decepticon leader’s deceit—but determined to find the buried Dinobots and turn the tide.

When Josie Beller dons her new exosuit and takes the name Circuit-Breaker, she sets out to dismantle every robot she believes is to blame for her paralysis—Autobots and Decepticons alike. With Wheeljack, Prowl, and Jazz tracking her path, and Starscream watching from the shadows, her crusade threatens to ignite chaos across the battlefield. As Optimus Prime, Ratchet, and G.B. Blackrock try to reason with her, the line between justice and vengeance begins to blur.

In "The Next Best Thing to Being There!", the Autobots face a dire threat as Shockwave unleashes the Constructicons—each a master of destruction—only to see them merge into the colossal Devastator. With Optimus Prime leading the charge and allies like Prowl, Bumblebee, and Jazz standing firm, the battle tests their unity and resolve. But when the dust settles, Shockwave is left puzzled: how could his creation, forged with the power of the Creation Matrix, fail—especially when he believed he’d inherited Optimus Prime’s full strength?

In "Brainstorm!", Optimus Prime and the Autobots face a new threat when Shockwave unleashes a powerful new creation—Jetfire—meant to destroy them. With Buster Witwicky unexpectedly taking control of Jetfire using the Creation Matrix, the tide turns, but the young human soon finds himself in peril as Jetfire, still under Shockwave’s influence, takes him captive.

In "Prime Time!", the Autobots face a chilling deception when Shockwave hijacks Optimus Prime’s body with a cunningly crafted fake head, turning the leader against his own kind. As the team struggles to fight a foe who looks and moves like their commander, a desperate hope flickers when the real Optimus Prime’s head reappears—just in time to reclaim control and turn the tide.
