The Worse of Two Evils! · 22 pages
Megatron, although damaged, goes to confront Shockwave after Shockwave's assault on an oil platform to capture its energies, which injures one of G. B. Blackrock's employees (Josie Beller) in the process. Megatron then fights Shockwave, but loses and concedes Decepticon leadership for now.
