Storyline
Hot Rod approaches the Decepticon asteroid on the ship he stole from Ultra Magnus and plans to raid the place and recover the Matrix. The Decepticons pick up his signal and shoot it out of the sky causing the ship's debris to fall to the asteroid and hits some of the new buildings on the rock. Bombshell tells Starscream what happened but he's more interested in the Matrix to care.
Hot Rod survived the crash by jumping into the weapons locker Magnus left on the ship before it was stolen and he has now left it, armed with his weapons and using the door as a shield for his chest. He easily manages to deal with Bombshell, Shrapnel and Acid Storm, and manages to force Razorclaw to swallow one of Bombshell's Cerebro-Shells putting him under his command, but only just. He sends Razorclaw into Starscream's throne room and has him attack his commander, however Starscream manages to overpower him.
Hot Rod walks in and shoots the Matrix causing it to overload and electrocute Starscream, he then takes it off of the Decepticon and looks for a way off the asteroid. He evades the Decepticons until he runs into a newly rebuilt Megatron in a corridor. He starts to use the Matrix to attack him, but Megatron blasts a hole through him and sends him flying out the wall, still holding the Matrix into space.
Megatron orders Soundwave to assemble the Decepticons in the main room as they have work to do now that Starscream's "bauble" is gone.
A short while ago Joe Gladki, whom is still paranoid about Cybertronians invading again goes on the internet and joins a group and buys a special gun designed to kill them, so he can protect his family when he starts hearing voices from his radio. Back in the present Bumblebee has just been shot by Joe and is slowly dying. Joe is arrested by Skywatch and taken into custody. They find his gun, and it's the same design as Megatron's old Earth mode, even down to his insignia.
The Autobots are getting impatient on the way back from Korea on one of Skywatch's cargo jets as they're worried about Bumblebee and the others after the attack when suddenly some missiles head towards their jet. Jazz tells the humans to get their Crash Suits on when the missiles hit and the jet explodes.
Skywatch has the gun in their custody and start analysing it, with Brawn wanting it destroyed as he believes that it is Megatron himself. Schwalbe examines Bumblebee, but isn't skilled enough yet to really help him effectively . Magnus tells Brawn to calm down and he asks how Bumblebee is, when Silverstreak runs in and reports about the jet being lost. They're sending out rescue teams, but they won't reach the site for about 5 hours. Maria walks in and reports about some more protesters gathering outside and that a radical group "Earth's Children" has come out and that they supplied Joe with the gun, and their spokesperson, Ben Simpson, explains that they want to destroy the Cybertronians for what they did.
Outside the Protesters are being told to stay back when the perimeter is blown up by the Decepticons killing several of them. Soundwave, Rumble and Frenzy attack the Skywatch base from the outside, distracting the remaining Autobots. Pennington goes downstairs to the holding cells to check on their Decepticon prisoners when he's run over by Dead End whilst the other prisoners, including the dead Scrapper are rescued by their allies, leaving the base in chaos.
Elsewhere in Quetzaltenango the locals are working on distributing the Megatron guns whilst having Megatron's old head on display like an idol.
Nina has another interview with Ben Simpson, where they argue over the right for "Earth's Children" to act as vigilantes and for them to sell deadly weapons to just anyone. On the Decepticon asteroid Megatron recalls how he wound up being mortally wounded and how Soundwave eventually decided to abandon fixing him, and just building a whole new body, and then recycling his dead body into several smaller guns with Shockwave's help. Starscream finds out and is angered, until he sees Megatron alive and says that he's been revived to be a prisoner like the rest of them, when Megatron shows him a Space Bridge that Shockwave's been building to Earth's orbit, much to Starscream's confusion.
A little later Hot Rod invades the Decepticon Asteroid and steals the Matrix, and Megatron blasts him into space with the Matrix. Now that Starscream hasn't got the Matrix again Megatron is free to take full command without anyone following the Seeker. He has Shockwave send a locker full of the Megatron guns made from his old body, as well as his old head through the Space Bridge, which sends them to Earth where they crash into Quetzaltenango and it's found by the locals. The guns are spread out, and in tandem with increased paranoia and hate sites they start to get sold and spread across the world, and when several were all within close proximity in South West America they started transmitting messages to those wielding them which started manipulating them to attacking Transformers, with the most easy to find being Autobots.
Ultra Magnus has had to take command of the Autobots with Bumblebee and Optimus gone and he orders a retreat to Omega Supreme for the humans and Autobots since Skywatch has been compromised. He sends Brawn out on a mission to find Thundercracker.
Thundercracker returns to his lair where he finds that the humans have raided it and smashed up most of his TV's and also finds Starscream greeting him as a brother again.
Nina reports on the Decepticon attack on Skywatch and even shows the death of an anti-Transformer reporter, Lani Gushman on it as well, and reports that several random vehicles were seen leaving the base as well. The Autobot/Skywatch convoy rides across the desert to reach Omega Supreme when they're attacked by some extremists from Earth's Children who tell them to surrender the Autobots to them. The Autobots try to escape without fighting back, as they can't harm humans, but are being chased by the extremists in Jeeps and other vehicles.
Thundercracker and Starscream talk with Starscream trying to re-recruit Thundercracker to the Decepticon fold, but he's not interested and he prefers just having a purpose by helping the Autobots protect the helpless humans. Starscream attacks Thundercracker from behind and goes in for the finishing blow when Brawn rolls in and attacks Starscream, pummelling him to submission, and during the fight Starscream reveals that HE wasn't the one who blasted the Skywatch jet out of the sky like Brawn thought.
Back in the desert the Earth's Children extremists' Jeeps is blown up by a blast from the sky, the Autobots stop running, look up and see a revived Megatron transform from his new stealth jet mode. The Autobots attack him on sight, but it does nothing to the power Decepticon. He attacks the ground under the Autobots and causes them injuries. He begins to mock Ultra Magnus when some Skywatch operatives attack him, he responds by just obliterating them with his cannon and playing with the remains. Magnus asks why he's harming the humans when the Autobots are his targets, but Megatron corrects him by saying that he wants to kill the humans and not the Autobots right now.
Elsewhere the Autobots from the ship and some Crash Suits climb out of the water, having survived the explosion and they call for anyone to respond.
Spike wakes up from a nightmare about how they were trapped inside Optimus' trailer with just artificial oxygen to breath and the seems start to leak. Now awake, they check on the Skywatch broadcasts, but only get the offline signals, but this time they also get a message from Megatron, telling Optimus to come see him outside of Albuquerque or he'll kill Magnus and his other prisoners. The Autobots with him head off to rescue them.
Brawn has finished beating up Starscream and wants to give him the finishing blow but Thundercracker needs medical attention. Starscream escapes and Brawn loads the other Seeker onto his back and drives off towards Omega Supreme. Optimus tells the rest of his team to stay behind whilst he goes to see Megatron as he doesn't want a big battle.
Optimus meets with Megatron, who has Soundwave holding onto the hostage Magnus and he tells Optimus that the other prisoners are in the city nearby (Albuquerque) and that there are several of the gun-totting humans in there ready to kill the Autobots in robot mode, trapped in a playground. Optimus orders Spike, Campolongo and Jazz speed off into the city to try and rescue them, with Jazz just pretending to be a car.
The Autobots and Skywatch officers try to calm down the situation, but the mind controlled humans won't listen thanks to the influences from the guns, and they are being held at gunpoint by the local police as well.
Megatron is mocking Optimus about the situation and says that even if he shoots him it won't harm him due to the way he was re-built, so Optimus shoots Soundwave instead, blasting a hole in his head. Megatron says that he could kill him for that, but when pressured by Optimus to just do it, he relents, since he doesn't want Optimus to die just yet. He picks up Soundwave and flies back to base, leaving Magnus behind.
With Soundwave now offline the gun's have lost their influence on the humans, and they willingly drop them and are arrested. Spike and Campolongo are distracted by the local police asking for clearances etc that they don't see it when Sergeant John Powell picks up one of the guns and decides that he wants to kill them himself (of his own free will). Jazz sees this, transforms and goes to a hiding spot. A weak Bumblebee tries to stop Powell from firing, but before his decision can be made Jazz jumps in front of him and incinerates the human (with the cameras still rolling of course). Everyone is shocked.
Later, inside Omega Supreme's base mode Thundercracker is being fixed up by Wheeljack (much to his disappointment as he wanted Ratchet to do it) and Optimus is watching a news report on Jazz killing John Powell, whilst the other Autobots are rescuing those who were captured earlier. Optimus asks Thundercracker where the Decepticons would be based on Earth, but he honestly doesn't know. Optimus goes to the infirmary and sees Ultra Magnus, who tells him that he placed a tracking device on Soundwave He sets off in the one of the jets to attack them. Jazz tries to come along as well, but Optimus doesn't want to talk to him after what he did, and Optimus has Jetfire rendezvous with Cosmos in orbit for another mission.
Shockwave is working on Soundwave's repairs when Optimus drops in through the roof, ready to fight. They take the fight outside so Shockwave can fix up Soundwave however.
Optimus and the Decepticons leave the hanger and assemble on the air field, with Megatron and Optimus preparing to fight. Optimus shoots Megatron a few times and then transforms and tries to roll away when a beam comes from the sky and hits Megatron straight on, thanks to Jetfire and Cosmos working on a Skywatch satellite with a kinetic harpoon on board, which needed the tracking device she just shot at Megatron to target him.
Optimus tumbles out of his truck mode from the explosion and to his horror he sees Megatron standing upright, having only felt a mild discomfort. Optimus goes mad and starts pummelling him asking him why he can't just die. A short time later Optimus is brought back to Omega Supreme by Megatron, who surrenders himself to the Autobot's custody.
Megatron allows himself to be restrained inside Omega Supreme, who has orders to transform and crush him if he tries to escape, but Megatron is happy to just be there, the two talk, and Megatron spreads seeds of mistrust about the humans, by revealing that they analysed Scrapper's last memories and tell him that Spike was the one who killed him, in cold blood. Optimus won't believe it and leaves, but he does ask Prowl to look into Spike and see what he's been up to. He then goes into a room by himself and begins to contemplate things.
Hot Rod survived the crash by jumping into the weapons locker Magnus left on the ship before it was stolen and he has now left it, armed with his weapons and using the door as a shield for his chest. He easily manages to deal with Bombshell, Shrapnel and Acid Storm, and manages to force Razorclaw to swallow one of Bombshell's Cerebro-Shells putting him under his command, but only just. He sends Razorclaw into Starscream's throne room and has him attack his commander, however Starscream manages to overpower him.

Notes
- Razorclaw is shown in his lion mode to match is Predacon brothers, but it's unclear why since last time we saw him he was a drill tank still
- Some characters like Blurr, Windcharger and Tracks, who were in Magnus' convoy are not tied up with the others, implying that they managed to escape before things got too bad with Megatron
- Razorclaw is able to almost resist the Cerebro-Shells
- The Decepticons used all the Ore-13 they had spare on the asteroid to rebuild Megatron
- Hot Rod talks about the Matrix as if it's another person, much like how Gollum spoke about the Ring in Lord of the Rings.
- One of the Crash Suits says "350" on it....MAN they must get through loads of them!!
- Starscream is shown in his F15 body in the first segment, but later is shown (even in flashbacks to that issue's events) that it should have been his F22 body
- Optimus can generate oxygen in his trailer
- Spike mentions having a sister here
- The Decepticons captured by Skywatch in the past are all released here (though we don't see guys like Axer or Gutcruncher from the Bumblebee series here...hmm...)
- Nina, the news anchor seems to be pro-Autobot.
- Despite being based inside Omega Supreme now, some of the base is also in a rocky area, meaning they've either got tunnels into a mountain or underground for extra rooms not normally in Omega's base mode
- Red Alert is randomly with Optimus' crew here, despite him clearly being in Skywatch whilst thye were in Korea.
My Thoughts
Art
The first story is a Nick Roche piece, so it has a cartoon feel to it, the remaining parts are all much more detailed and more realistically coloured than the first piece.

Story
This was a story I was waiting for for a while, Megatron finally gets some revenge on the humans, also Hot Rod finally resurfaces, but ends up being blasted into space grasping the Matrix, very compelling to read on from.

Continuity
Hot Rod's fate is revealed in the first part of the Chaos Theory TPB. Megatron has been rebuilt since he was last seen in the first part of the International Incident TPB, Scrapper's death was also seen here. Thundercracker has been with the Autobots since the end of For All Mankind and refuses readmission to the Decepticons here. Ben Simpson is later revealed to be a Facsimile in Chaos: Police Action.

Other
Megatron's new character model seems to be a combination of both his proposed G2 toy (repaint of the stealth jet Dreadwind) and the Shadow Blade Megatron toy from the Animated franchise.
Acid Storm's character model seems to be based on the Masterpiece Seeker molds, despite him not actually having a toy in that form. Thundercracker, despite just returning from Korea, where he had his F15 body is now BACK in his F22 body!! ARRGGGHHH!!!!
