In Transformers #5, the Energon Universe introduces the powerful combiner known as Devastator, which could have devastating consequences for Optimus Prime and the Autobots. The Autobots stumble upon a new power source engineered by Sparkplug Witwicky, but their plans are quickly thwarted by the Decepticons. However, with the help of revived allies, Optimus Prime and his team manage to hold off their enemies. Seeking to capitalize on their advantage, Prime decides to confront the Decepticons, only to discover that Starscream has rebuilt Teletraan I and revived the Constructicons, who combine to form the formidable Devastator. This development sets the stage for an intense showdown in the Energon Universe.
After launching a surprise attack on the Autobots, all six Constructicons combine into their ultimate form, the imposing Devastator. This marks a significant development in the Energon Universe and is closely tied to the original G1 continuity. The Constructicons were the first of the “combiner” robots - individual Transformers that could unite to form a larger, more powerful entity. The original Constructicons consisted of Scrapper, Hook, Bonecrusher, Long Haul, Mixmaster and Scavenger. Each was formidable on own before combining to become Devastator.
In Transformers #5, it becomes clear just how dangerous the Energon Universe Constructicons are as they severely damage Optimus Prime even sever one of Ratchet’s legs. Devastator looms over a wounded Prime and Sparkplug on the final page of Transformers #5, setting up major consequences as this first story arc nears its conclusion. Additionally, Skybound has hinted at a significant character death in Transformers #6; with Devastator now part of the conflict between Autobots and Decepticons, tension is heightened further.
Transformers #5 maintains Daniel Warren Johnson's outstanding work on this series; however, it will be Johnson’s last issue as an artist. He will remain involved as a writer while new artist Jorge Corona takes over art duties – an exciting change for fans to anticipate in future issues. With Devastator entering the fray and ongoing developments in store for Energon Universe Transformers series remains one of today's most thrilling comic titles.
Transformers #5 is currently available from Skybound Entertainment.
