"The Falling," Interlude: Who is Onyx Prime? Leader of beasts, and one of the original Primes who led Cybertron, Onyx has been missing for millenia. Yet, his schemes go on. Where did he come from, and how will his reappearance change Cybertron forever?
Through Barber's reinvention of Shockwave and Ramondelli's art,Optimus Prime #18is one of the most memorable issues of anyTransformerscomic yet.
