Around Cybertron issue 8

Rook loses a coworker.

Synposis

Rook greets his viewers, telling them that about the trouble the Decepticons are causing. Rook appears to give the segment over to Andromeda, but quickly cuts off the angered reporter as he switches to their resident Decepticon expert, Punch. Unfortunately, Punch has been given a better offer by Esmeral and Monstructor over on DBN. Transforming to Counterpunch, the traitor apologizes to Rook, telling him that unlike Countdown, DBN makes him feel good about himself. Rook, meanwhile, is more aghast that he's stuck with Andromeda than anything.

• While they never appear, art by Jesse Wittenrich would show that Monstructor is based off his positive-universe counterpart, with his components colors being based off their positive-universe counterpart's Pretender shells, and that Countdown is based on his positive-universe counterpart in the colors of "Shining Edison", who came with the Microman LED Powers L-26 Micro Rocket Base with Shining Edison toy, itself a redecoed version of positive-universe Countdown's Rocket Base.
