Transformers: Devastation #3

by Simon Furman

Part 3 of 6! In the aftermath of Escalation's thundering showdown in Brasnya, factions on Earth stir into bold and demonstrative action. With both the Machination and Skywatch poised to strike, each possessing CYBERTRONIAN tech and inside knowledge of the alien enemy they face, the AUTOBOTS have no choice but to relocate. But the arrival on Earth of the DECEPTICONS' living super-weapon, SIXSHOT, tells of more Devastation to come. What role do SOUNDWAVE, SCORPINOK, and the REAPERS play in the coming confrontation?

Really Good

The groundwork laid in previous issues is really starting to pay off. Things are getting interesting with Headmasters, Sixshot, and Nemesis Prime. Recommended!

⚙️ Issue #3 – The Mask Comes Off
Everything starts to unravel.
Ratchet’s mission to uncover Starscream’s activities leads him straight into a nightmare. The Decepticons aren’t just experimenting — they’re infiltrating governments, sabotaging communications, and planning something catastrophic.

The Autobots — Optimus, Ironhide, Bumblebee, Prowl — debate intervention from orbit, torn between caution and duty.
Meanwhile, the humans begin to understand: these aren’t invaders in ships. They’re already inside the planet’s systems.

It’s the perfect midpoint — secrets breaking open, trust collapsing, and the line between savior and soldier blurring.
