The action erupts onto the world stage, as MEGATRON and his DECEPTICONS stir things up in the disputed (breakaway) Soviet state of Brasnya, initiating an incendiary border conflict. Meanwhile, the AUTOBOTS—aware that one of the DECEPTICONS’ (facsimile) bio-constructs is active in the area—move to intercept, setting up a truly explosive confrontation. The Transformers: Infiltration team of Simon Furman and E.J. Su continues the ongoing tale. Artist Klaus Scherwinski once again provides a variant cover for the issue, too.
