Transformers Armada #12 2002

In Transformers Armada #12, published by Dreamwave Productions, Smokescreen and Scavenger observe a new Decepticon rocket base in Death Valley. Megatron, struggling to access the Destruction team's power, makes a deal with Dualor, leading to a super-powered Cyclonus becoming a significant threat to both Autobots and Decepticons. In Alaska, the Mini-Con Adventure Team, investigating an escape pod, is ambushed by Thrust, only for the enhanced Cyclonus to intervene. This issue is notable for the continued fallout from the moon base saga and the pivotal development of Cyclonus's power.
