Megatron takes his wrath out on Starscream and other Decepticons. We're
left with more questions like what is ore-13 and where'd it come from? And
who is the Machination?
Heralded as nothing but robots on Cybertron, this takes place concurrently
with Infiltration. The four issues came in two covers not including

available in
poster form.
