Plot: Ravage and Windcharger team up to find Auntie's core, only to find the prize blocked by the Ark's resident security robot, Guardian. Meanwhile, spurred by Optimus' conclusion that Auntie has no intention of releasing anyone, regardless of her verdict, Megatron announces he may have a way out.

Miserable glitches: Megatron really bows to Optimus' persuasion rather easily. This is his aeons-old enemy, after all.

Notes: I reviewed this issue from the scans on Lizzard's site.

Comments: There's a few nice character moments in this issue, both from Decepticons, as it happens. We see the more cautious and contemplative side of Megatron again - in his more arrogant later days he'd just assume that he and the Decepticons would defeat Auntie somehow, regardless of her verdict. And Ravage comes up with a bit of honour when he stops to repair Windcharger. Otherwise, really, it's just marking time until the story wraps up next issue.
