Transformers Generation 2 #7 1993

Transformers Generation 2 #7, published by Marvel in 1994, presents 'New Dawn,' where Megatron's Decepticons purge a planet for resources, introducing new G2 characters and reintroducing Dreadwing. Having captured the Matrix, Megatron builds an army but suffers a brutal defeat at the hands of Jhiaxus, resulting in a massacre of Decepticon forces. This issue is notable for its continued dark tone, significant character deaths, and a pivotal moment where Megatron is decisively beaten, furthering the intense conflict of the Generation 2 era.
