Thanks to his Twitter Page, Alex Milne has been nice enough to show off is cover for More Than Meets The Eye 55. This cover features Megatron in a dimly lit area powered only by the Necrobots flowers, and there he stands holding one, glowing brightly while he looks on solemnly and depressed.

Beware for after the black and white as well as the colored image, we will quote Milne on something he commented on in response to someone's question about the cover, so there is a potential spoiler.

And now that I've posted the story, I can say as a please:

Megatron doesn't kill anyone. Instead, by his lack of action, by his choosing to hide and command from a distance rather than face the threat, someone or some bots die, and he is responsible because he either gave them an order, like "go down that alleyway" and they died, or because he could have fought with them and prevented their deaths. :MAXIMAL:

I love that some of the artists, such as Milne, have been drawing their own faction symbols instead of using the extremely obvious "official" symbols, which look very out-of-place when stamped on a drawing. Thank you for allowing the artists to do this or thank you to the artists for going this route instead of using the official symbols.

That is emotion, pure and simple. When I first saw it, I couldn't believe how well Milne had made Megatron look repentant and sad, tragic loss sad. It's incredible :MAXIMAL:

Megatron needs to stop being a coward.

He needs more of the middle ground, for all those millions of years he fought and it achieved nothing but horror and bloodshed, goes to the other extreme and bots are still being hurt by his actions that were done ages and ages ago.

He needs courage to go forward, strength of spirit to fight for what he truly believes now, and wisdom to learn from his past and acknowledge his unsurmountable past. The other crucial thing he needs is humility that's been growing slowly.

Of course this is just what I think megs needs to continue, but no doubt Roberts has other intentions

I know the cover don't necessarily relate to the events of the story (though in this instance it most likely does) i'm willing to guess the flower's Velocity. Also on a separate note, aesthetically and historically, I would've found red poppies more poignant than blue lilies. However that might've been on the nose

So now the whole story begins to fall into place.

The Galactic Counsel hates Megatron since he is now doing their job of protecting organics whereas he used to hate them. The council fears being replaced, so they rebuild Overlord to kill Megatron, teaming up with Getaway, who puts the mutiny into action. He removes Rodimus and company with the thought that the council only promised to kill Megatron and the others would live. So he's not the total slimeball he's come off as, but he still is slime. Then Tarn shows up somehow (Beginning to wonder about that, coincidence or not. Getaway should know the DJD wouldn't spare the Autobots, so if he summoned them to get Megatron off the ship by attacking Necroworld, did they somehow promise to spare the others as an empty promise?) but the council is ok with this since they want him dead too. But the council has no intent of letting the other Autobots live. Maybe they arranged for the DJD to attack and summon Megatron there then unleash Overlord, but weren't expecting Deathsaurus' group? I'm not sure about that.

And then, Megatron has Trailcutter's forcefields, enabling him to use the panic bubble to save himself. And of course, Deathsaurus is about to have a conscience attack courtesy of Rewind and Swerve, spurring him into Defending Megatron.

So now it makes sense! It feels a bit easier now knowing that Perceptor and everyone else thought it'd just be the Galactic Council sending agents to kill Megatron. The DJD just happened to be there too.
Now I can rest easy knowing Blaster and Perceptor aren't that dickish.

That is true.

But that is also what leads to my confusion. Why are the DJD there then, if they weren't Getaway's plan to begin with, especially since they provided the way to get Megatron off the ship? That whole part is not clicking for me yet

Actually, a thought: They have been tracking down the ship right? They even said that they couldn't catch the Lost Light. So they attacked Necroworld by themselves, and when Rodimus and Megatron decided to investigate, Getaway used that as the opportunity to mutiny. The mutiny was set, they just needed the chance for the captains to leave, and they did, so the trap was sprung, without anyone realizing that the DJD were there.

That helps me make some sense of things

Yeah; that, and reading on TFWiki reminds me that Tarn broadcast the signal as a lure. And maybe there wasn't an arranged place for Getaway to drop them off, it just happened to be the Necroplanet - and that's why it took so long for Overlord to get there!

Problem solved! Yay us!

Now, since Getaway did not want any Autobots to die, I wonder what he will think when he learns Skids died...

Posted by MrBlack on July 19th, 2016 @ 9:30am CDT
My guess would be that Overlord was the one who killed the Necrobot and set up the distress call to lure the Autobots to him. It makes the original plan fit together: The Galactic Council agrees to take care of Megatron; they send their agent, Overlord, to send a distress signal that they know the Lost Light will respond to; the Necrobot modifies the distress signal to warn them away (which doesn't work); the crew makes sure that Megatron and his supporters are the ones to go on the mission; Overlord kills Megatron. There was no reason for the DJD to kill the Necrobot because he was a pre-war neutral (which is why they did not bother him when they first found him). The method of the Necrobot's death also points to Overlord, him being a sadist and all.

As to why the DJD showed up, that is a mystery. The Galactic Council certainly isn't happy about it, and neither is Getaway if his concern for the rest of the crew is sincere.

Off-hand, I wonder if Getaway knew that the Galactic Council would send Overlord. I would guess the answer is "no" if he expected the rest of the crew to survive the encounter.

I like this better than my theory.

EDIT: What kept hanging me up was the fact that the crew was stranded after the Rodpod was destroyed. I forgot that they would have been stranded anyway because the Rodpod only had the juice for one jump and couldn't jump back. Getaway likely wasn't aware that Team Rodimus had been attacked, because his plan was just to strand the ship wherever the group went to so that the Galactic Council could move in after.

Well, there is that conjecture on the wiki, but I'm not sure it has been made clear in the book itself who attacked the Necrobot. I am inclined to think it was the DJD at this point, but the full circumstances have not been made clear yet.

All in all the arc is sounding like a "series of unfortunate events" storyline to me: someone wants to mutiny to kill one guy and just remove the others, which includes his former partner; He doesn't know a group of killers is the reason the mutiny succeeded; he doesn't know the person sent to kill the one will kill them all; everyone is there, all the evil is there, and meanwhile the organics are planning to use something that reminds me of that "geo-bomb" thing from MTMTE 46 that Fort Max mentioned to maybe destroy the entire planet, which I think they will try, but somehow Nightbeat and Rung save everyone. Ba-doom.

But consider this: If it was Overlord who set the trap, wouldn't he have arrived sooner or actually been at the fortress to greet Megatron and kill him there?

Read my post.

I am just pointing out that the solution isn't quite clear yet, as I do not recall Tarn or anyone else taking responsibility for killing the Necrobot or sending the distress signal in the comic, even though I think that theory is likely correct.

I read your post, I was just agreeing with you and providing something else I had thought of while reading through other posts. :D

And I'm looking back through, and I'm pretty sure you're right that no one has taken responsibility for killing Necrobot. We can only assume that this point.

But also using an assumption: what if the Lost Light actually comes back for these guys, if Getaway is anyway alarmed that the council intends to kill the other Autobots, maybe he will come back, and something else in 3 weeks time comic time wise is the reason they are radio silent.

Maybe they intend to use it to kill hundreds of cons, Megatron, and any other robot that so happens to be there. It all comes down as a win for the counsel.

That's a better more believable theory than the ones of "it's rewind's spark" if that was the case one of them would be disappearing.

Where was the "Rewinds Spark" theory coming from?

A lot of people at TFW2005 believe that.

Hmm, can see where that is coming from, but how would Rewinds spark mean anything here, though it could answer the question about what was in Overlord's hand.

I've seen that pointed out so many times and I just don't see it. It's two panels of his hand not in shot and it just feels like a conspiracy theory. "WE CANT SEE HIS LEFT HAND!" Okay? So?

I'm more curious about the memory Chromedome took out of Prowl when he he threatened him all the way back in issue 14. I think Chromedome knew Ambus was agent 113 and removed Ambus's memories of rewind so he'd become agent 113. Chromedome just didn't know that Ambus was the pet

So Trailcutter gets some measure of revenge from the grave. I gotta hand it to Roberts, I did not see that coming. Intriguing, very intriguing indeed. Can't wait until the issue is released. Now I have to go back and read MTMTE from the point where Megatron joined them to make it make more sense.

Which makes zero sense because trailbreaker a force field are because he's a outlier. He's a mutant essentially. It's been stated you can't just replicate outlier tech but here megatron uses trailbreakers ability.

Which brings up a problem with the last issue. Outliers are Cybertronians who are forged. Brainstorm and Chromedome technically should not have had powers

In Brainstorm and Chromedome's case though, it was an artificial outlier ability, and it only lasted very briefly. They were not born natural outliers, but formatted like that.

And as for Trailcutter's shield: Maybe the panic bubble can still operate without him. He did say it is disconnected from his regular systems, so maybe that's how Megatron was able to use it

I don't know. Force fields are part of his ability even his panic bubble was part of him, it's still based off him. Just doesn't seem plausible especially his ability has never been replicated before in 4 million years because he's an outlier.

Also I have issues with Velocity having abilities too. She's only been with the crew for a few months doesn't been possible she would have abilities either. Drift too, he's been away for like 2 years.

I think with regards to the temporary outlier abilities, it is dependent on the one who has the nervous breakdown and spasms. I don't think it has anything to do with the actual recipient having been exposed to quantum energy, just the user.

and I'm not sure about Trailcutter. I just assume the panic bubble was built outside his normal operating system thus it can be used by others.

I'm pretty sure they'll explain more in the issue regardless.

This story has left me a little sour in many ways. I don't like the outlier boost because it just has everyone getting super strength. That's not how that works. Everyone should have a different ability but they all just became tailgates essentially. It shows Velocity got super speed BUT her name is velocity. She's not been totally fleshed out and one panel of her zooming by isn't enough explanation for me. And I don't count Rodimus going human torch an ability because he's already done that in Maximum Dinobots. Kind of figured Skids death would probably have triggered a spasm with a few of them too.

So, that's what Ravage brought him in the mystery box so many issues ago. Yet another off panel image paid off.

Pretty sure Megatron took that with him in issue 35 when he visited Trailcutter's corpse. Ravage brought him one of Brainstorm's Briefcases

Well no. Megatron has done a Ratchet. He's replaced his own hands with Trailbreakers, (Just like Transformers Prime), so technically Trailbreaker's mutant powers are still be used by Trailbreaker's body, just not being mentally activated by Trailbreaker's brain.

Megatron has official gone Red Skull v Charles Xavier.

AH, yeah, you're right. Got my time line mixed up. But, that's the cool thing about these comics. It's like trying to follow clues of a mystery.

Which I've been thinking about the last couple hours actually.
Unless it was already explained and I missed it, what the heck does Megsy want with a time case?
