Some nice action in this one.

And this installment has the power of RIVAL FUSION! Which I always dig.

My only gripe is...

Roberts has been hinting more toward the fact that Zeta Prime was assassinated in public, likely by Megatron with a giant sniper rifle (as seen in MTMTE # 3), but here he dies in a relatively-private location. His head is still "comprehensively-emptied" (as described in Bullets), but there's a degree of squinting involved to get this to work here.

I was kinda wondering about that too, honestly. As a sniper rifle was kinda implied.

Also, Magnus helping the Autobots seemed OOC. I figured he'd be like Zeta's Javert - more interested in the rule of the law rather than whether the law is right.

Where abouts were these implications? I seem to have missed them completely. I've just been through MTMTE again and didn't see anything like that Sad

I think they heard me cheer in the office here when Zeta and Megatron tangled Smile

Love this series!

It's been pretty explicitly mentioned that Zeta was assassinated in the LSOTW extra prose story Bullets. In the flashback scene in MTMTE#3 we see Megatron with a gun.

Hmmm, good stuff, Megatron may be truly, the ultimate bastard.

And Shockwave....whoa....amplified in gun mode indeed!

But Bullets doesn't say at all that Zeta was assassinated...unless I missed something...the paragraph that was referred to above just said:

'...a Decepticon's bullet had comprehensively emptied the back of an Autobot's head and the whole world had started to unravel.'

Which is incredably vague and could be read many ways...are there more vague mentions like this that help to better connect the dots?

Also that image of Megatron in MtMtE #3 does not relate to anything specific...so I'm a bit puzzled as to how the conclusions drawn above came about and how they don't tie neatly with this issue of Autocracy without squinting...

Oh. You want Bullets in the LSOTW hardcover collection. James changed it a bit.

In the original version of Bullets, James wrote:
...when a Decepticon's bullet had comprehensively emptied the back of an Autobot's head and the world had started to unravel...
