Before the issue was released, there was a fan theory that involved Cobra Commander wielding Megatron in the Decepticon leader's alt-mode as a pistol, which would be a smart way to keep Megatron involved in the plot without giving him total control of Earth's small group of Decepticons too early. In the current Transformers canon, the Decepticons are being led by Starscream, and it seems that Megatron's full return is being saved for later in the story. This revelation adds another dimension to the story, as it shows that Cobra is being built on the back of the Decepticon leader, Megatron.The possibility of Megatron breaking free from Cobra Commander is an intriguing prospect.
