The story
In a pre-war flashback, Megatron is a Quintesson captive forced by Prosecutor Dezimir through an arena trial he dies in hundreds of times. Dezimir's unseen master grants him the power of the dark opposite of the Matrix, giving him a handheld gun form that controls its wielder.
Why this issue matters
Megatron's origin and the introduction of the dark Matrix, the source of his gun mode's mind control and of the corruption in Optimus. First appearances of Dezimir and the Mechanokoar.
