“Primal Scream” -- 18 pages
- written by Simon Furman
- art by Geoff Senior
- the displaced Transformers, actually deep inside Cybertron, learn the origin of their race, in which Primus and Unicron fought until Primus hid in a massive metal asteroid and Unicron followed suit
- Unicron learned to shape his metal prison and transform it into a giant robot, spurring Primus to create his own, smaller Transformers
- to this day, Unicron hunts for Primus, who slumbers
- in the present, a shot by Octopunch ricochets and hits Primus, causing him to scream, which Unicron (in deep space) hears
- this issue is notable as the first U.S. issue to feature interior art by a U.K. artist (although U.K. artist Dan Reed did the cover to U.S. issue #56)
Triggerhappy, Landfill, Quickmix, and Scoop profile pages -- 4 pages
