Written by: Tyler Bleszinski

Editors: David Mariotte & Tom Waltz
Plot
The Constructicons decide to turn against the others on Mayalx, but are unsure of how best to take them out. The Insecticons watch them, and decide to help out by killing some random guys and use their living sparks to make over energised Energon and present it to the Constructicons the next day.
Now overpowered, the Constructicons combine and firm the newly christened Devastator, and wipes out a facility and all the crew manning it.

Afterwards, the Insecticons metabolize the dead bodies into Energon, ready for them to ship it, and themselves back to Cybertron.
Back on Mayalx, the Constructicons decide to stay on the planet and build whatever they want, and build their own home there.

Notes
  • So, this issue came out a couple months late huh? 
  • Just as a reminder, last time we saw them, the Constructicons were not ready to kill everyone on the planet...they just decide to do that randomly this issue...
  • The statue I could identify in issue one is confirmed as of Nominus Prime
  • As I mentioned in the valentine's special, Blast Off and the Combaticons are revealed to be a part of the Rise
  • Shockwave's appearance and demeaner this issue implies that it is set just before his beatdown from Megatron
  • In case you can't tell, I'm not too impressed by this first storyline from Galaxies...let's hope the next ones are better!
