Transformers Volume 19

This volume is volume 19 of the Chinese edition of the original Marvel Transformers comics, collecting Marvel US Transformers #19, "Command Performances!". The story follows directly from the Autobots' return to Cybertron: to seize Decepticon combining technology, Optimus Prime carefully plans a raid on the Decepticon base, and the Autobots now have the mighty Guardian Omega Supreme completed to back the operation. Before setting out, however, the team is divided: Ratchet has doubts about the plan, Grimlock simply leaves with the Dinobots, and Brake, though full of complaints, still sets out with the group, only to be abandoned by the roadside during the withdrawal and to embark on an encounter of his own. On the Decepticon side, Megatron is also calculating his counterstroke, and meanwhile a group of Cybertronians arrives on Earth through a space bridge, making the situation even more complicated. This volume continues the original comics' style of building on the toy line and densely introducing new characters and new settings; classic elements such as Omega Supreme, the combiners and the cassette troops all appear here, making it a key link for understanding how the early G1 worldview took shape. This is the single volume of issue #19 within the six-volume boxed set and must be read with the preceding and following issues for the plot to make full sense.
