Transformers#18
Transformers #18 jumps around to follow the same separate storylines from the past couple of issues. We get more of the battle between Devastator and Bruticus as the internal war within the Decepticons comes to a screeching halt with the sudden appearance of Megaton which signals bad news for the rag-tag Autoboots on Earth. Elsewhere, the American Military catches up to the group of Arcee, Beachcomber, Ultra Magnus, and Carly. Not yet realizing the difference between Autobots and Decepticons, they attack and take Ultra Magnus prisoner. While the comic doesn't go quite as far to confirm the group as G.I. JOE, this suggests the very slow interweaving between the two properties may finally be picking up.
The only storyline that goes well for the Autobots in issue #18 is on Cybertron where Shredhead makes a memorable debut saving the lives of and the other by slicing and dicing the Decepticons with relative ease, potentially changing the tide of the war on the Transformers' homeworld.
