The Transformers: Robots in Disguise #18

This "Dark Cybertron Prelude" issue sets the stage for something big, with the cover dropping readers into a tense scene of Autobots in serious trouble. A massive yellow Autobot — bearing the Autobot insignia — lies fallen in the foreground, while red-armored robots tumble through a stormy, violet sky, and a winged figure looms triumphantly atop a jagged cliff above them all. Writer John Barber and artists Rojo and Tramontano deliver a cover charged with a genuine sense of consequence, hinting that the road to "Dark Cybertron" runs through some very rough terrain.
