Simon Furman has updated his blog with the following information on Transformers Devastation issue 6
This time up it’s the turn of Transformers Devastation #6, the wrap-up
of this the third ‘-ion’ arc (and as ever, I’ll try and make this more of a tease than a spoiler).
And boy what an arc this has been! Big stuff happening!
That tired old
phrase ‘things will never be the same again’ is wholly and justifiably
applicable here. Stuff is revealed! Stuff is tied up! Other stuff kicks
off! It’s a packed old end of arc issue, with Reapers versus
Decepticons (to a shattering conclusion!), Hot Rod versus Headmasters
(to a turbo-charged conclusion… of sorts) and Hunter/Sunstreaker versus
the head of the Machination (to a point where we absolutely know who is
who and what is what, but with a distinct ‘To be continued…’). Oh yeah! Plus, (much) more on the Dead Universe cast, with Galvatron making his
first Earthbound moves, and first full appearances for Jhiaxus and ‘the
Transformer formerly known as Nova Prime.’ The main focus, though,
falls on our second fully fledged no-holds-barred (devastating) battle
of this arc, this time between the catastrophic Reapers and the Ore-13
charged Decepticons.
Expect casualties! Carnage! Shocks! Last issue saw
Starscream back in the fray, strutting his stuff, but this issue has
him fighting (once again) side-by-side with Megatron (who isn’t exactly
chuffed to see him!). Fallout/repercussions for sure. Hot Rod makes a
shocking decision (kind of prompted by Optimus Prime’s equally
momentous decision last issue) and Skywatch prepare to kick back before
things get even more out of hand. And if you think that maybe feeds
into a certain upcoming Spotlight, well, you’d be right on the money.
Oh, and don’t think I’ve forgotten about Sixshot. He too has a part to
play. All I can say is… phew! This one has it all! Really.
