Plot
Billy, Cobra Commander's son has delivered a seemingly dead Snake-Eyes to his father and his troops, and for his good job, the Commander allows the Koh-Buru-Lah monster to kill him by tearing him apart. Elsewhere, the Autobots on Cybertron start to rally together again since Optimus has "tamed" Scorponok, and leads the troops to victory. On Earth, Flagg has killed the special committee and taken over the White House, before Hawk leads him out.
Whilst on Highway Omega, the road starts to transform and take the Joes into space, revealing it to be in fact Omega Supreme, and heads to the nearby Cybertron. On the way, Omega attacks Astrotrain and throws him down to Cybertron, helping to rally the Autobots even further.
Optimus and Megatron begin their fight, whilst having an audience from their troops, and Snake Eyes reveals that he isn't dead, and attacks the Cobras on Earth.
During the "fight" Megatron reveals he has the Matrix within his chest and has begun corrupting it, using it's power and connection to Primus to reshape Cybertron to his will. The Decepticons subdue Optimus, whilst Megatron has his "Evil Cybertron" use it's pincers to stab the Earth, causing it to seemingly blow up. In the aftermath, Megatron blasts Optimus point blank into his chest, and sends him falling down a ravine.

Notes
- Yeah...it's still going on....
- The opening page is design to emulate "The Last Supper"
- Flagg killed the committee off screen it seems, and possibly the President as well....THESE ARE THE GOOD GUYS?!?!
- Also, this means he single handedly killed this "Jonin" as well....
- Viper from the Combiner Wars toyline gets a cameo here...that's a silver lining right?
- Omega Supreme was alluded to being missing along with Optimus earlier in the series. Not sure why he was on Earth though...
- Wreck-Gar seems to be using Dark Energon and Nucleon as a drug during the Decepticon's oppression.
- Wheeljack can take on a form similar to the Arcee trio from Revenge of the Fallen.
- Wheelie is about to get smelted alive by a Harvester Unit...poor fella
- The Pretenders shown here would appear to be final results of the experiments on creating Human-Transformer hybrids, shown in the previous two issues.
- From the end of this issue and the preview for the next one, we can only hope this is nearing the end now...
