Plot

The Autobots have been alerted to a Decepticon message to the world about them destroying the Statue of Liberty, which they have prevented from being sent out through jammers, and they need to stop them.

Optimus and Bumblebee are sent out as a stealth party to try and stop Megatron (who was hoping to cause panic and have the human media witness this attack). The Decepticons attack the two Autobots, whilst Megatron climbs the statue (why not fly up Megs?) to decapitate it, thuse dealing a symbolic blow to Earth's freedom.

Optimus and Megatron fight on the statue, but just as Megatron is about to decapitate the statue Bumblebee flings a dead Vehicon at him, knocking him off balance and allowing Optimus to send him flying into the waters nearby.

In the aftermath Fowler moans at the two Autobots for causing so much damage to the statue, and for letting themselves be seen (at least partially), but the Autobots promise to repair the statue to PRIME condition (oh ho ho, how whitty)

Notes

• Congrats to everyone's friend Sam Palmer for getting his first pro-Transformers gig here!
• This issue came with one of 6 Kre-O...Kre-O is fun!!!
• The jet Vehicons finally appear here, which makes sense since cars wouldn't be able to get to Liberty Island that easily!
• ...Did Optimus and Bumblebee just snap those two Vehicon's necks?!
• Megatron contacts Soundwave over a communicator to see where the human camera are...was he really expecting a reply?!
• HA! Megatron has a Vehicon thrown at him! (nice inversion of him throwing a Vehicon off the Nemesis in series 2)
