TFtember: The Transformers#25

 "Gone but Not Forgotten!" the Transformers#25 (Febuary 1987) with credits to Bob Budiansky (script), Don Perlin (pencils), Ian Aiken/Brian Garvey (inks), Nel Yomtov (colors), Janice Chiang (letters), and Don Daley (editor)


The death of Optimus Prime is still being felt. The Army decides to invade the Decepticons base, but they've left for Florida. Megatron is slowly going crazy, as he simply can't buy that 1) Prime is dead, 2) one lone human really did it and not him. 


The last point is all the proof to Shockwave and Soundwave that Megatron should step down. To help move that along, they summon the Predacons, slap some Autobot symbols on them have the combined form of Predaking attack Megatron.

Pity they didn't subscribe to the 'bigger they are the harder they fall' as Megatron easily blasts them apart. Inside the wreackage, he finds a disc, which he leaps to the idea that Prime didn't die. Soundwave plays the disc, which reveals Shockwave's role. 

Shockwave isn't bothered, as he explains thanks to the disc he was there, here (to where his body is), and everywhere else. This causes Megatron even more stress, so the only thing he can do is blow up the Space Bridge with him on it. 


Good, and nice to see the story move along with emphasis on Megatron. Plus we see Shockwave ad Soundwave scheming, which is always nice.
