Starscream starts acting odd, which the Decepticons start to worry about, when Optimus and the Autobots invade their former base.

The Autobots manage to get to Mikaela and free her from her mind control. Later the Autobots begin their plans to deal with the Decepticons once and for all.

Comic Notes

• The third jet on the front cover seems to be using Divebomb's character model...despite him being dead, and not a part of Starscream's troops (plus he's the wrong colours as well). Though it could be meant to be Dreadwing from the colours....
• The Autobot's knowing how to disable Cerebro Shells was shown off in issue 15...why can't they do this to Allen and the others then?!?
• Optimus takes on his Entry Pod mode to attack the Decepticon's base, like he did in Issue 1
• Grindcore is coloured yellow instead of green here
• It's revealed that the device Megatron ejected in issue 13 and Starscream picked up, and subsequently downloaded contained Megatron's mind, which Megatron has been "haunting" since.
