Description
A chapter in the IDW 2.0 run that burns ever so brightly to me. A catharsis 35 years in the making! I've always been bothered by Issue #6 of the Marvel Comics Run where Megatron suffers a humiliating defeat at the hands of Shockwave. Even though this is several continuities removed, and in a prequel no less, Megatron gets to pay Shockwave back. Finally, Megatron beats the @#$%ing @#$% out of Shockwave.

Also of interest is that this Retailer Incentive Variant Cover actually reflects the content of the story within the interiors, showing Megatron decisively defeating Shockwave while Sixshot and Slipstream stand by. The image of Shockwave's face on the original cover is so brutalized, I guess maybe they were afraid he was beaten to such a pulp as to make the character unrecognizable. So I was surprised to find the patch to the face on the reverse of the board the cover was drawn on.

Transformers #6 is a favorite cover of mine!  It was the 6th issue in a 4 issue limited series.  This one has tighter composition putting everything within the single mass so we'd concentrate on Megatron getting his revenge!

Motha@#$%ing @#$% Shockwave got what he deserved! A wrong has been righted, sorta. But Pizzari could do no wrong turning in this badass TF cover! Sick. Awesome cover - congrats!
