** Megatron agrees to a final parley with Orion Pax, mostly because he sees it as an opportunity to trace his hidden position and thus hunt him down, and it's also a chance for him to have Pyra Magna, one of the Great Generals, assassinated. Notable, his own Great General Strika thinks it's a terrible idea and takes no part in the attempt other than acting as Megatron's emissary. Sure enough, Pyra was expecting such an attempt and her loyal followers the Companions handily see off the would-be assassins, and by the time Soundwave tracks Orion's signal a furious Megatron discovers he'd long since left Iacon and was now well out of his reach.

** In issue 40, it's shown that Strika is leading a Decepticon army on the Autobot stronghold of Crystal City, and throughout the issue Optimus Prime is on the point of despair because the Autobots are losing badly. This is unsurprising: Megatron had been planning his coup for a good long time and recruited many former soldiers to his cause. In comparison, Optimus has been on the backfoot from the very start of the conflict, with many of his "soldiers" at best having been involved in mere police actions as opposed to actual war like many of the Decepticons. While the Autobots do have powerful veterans like Ultra Magnus, Pyra Magna, her Companions and Ironhide among their ranks, they're outnumbered by Autobots who not so long ago were police cadets or office workers.
** Issue 40 also has Bumblebee point out that while many neutral Cybertronians who didn't outright side with the Decepticons may not ''like'' the Decepticons, they aren't willing to risk their lives to oppose them the way the Autobots are.

* SignificantNameShift: After quietly scheming behind the scenes, Megatron launches a coup and takes over much of Cybertron's government. When Autobot leader Sentinel Prime is killed during an attempt to rally people against the coup his old friend Orion Pax inherits the Matrix of Leadership and is renamed Optimus Prime. Megatron insistently refers to him as "Orion Pax", declaring him a sham and refusing to treat with him as an equal... until he's completely outplayed and realises that now [[AllOrNothing he's lost his chance for a quick victory]]. Only then does he start referring to his archfoe as "Optimus Prime".

* AdaptationalVillainy: Knock Out, on account of the comic merging his different depictions into this incarnation. His depiction here draws heavily from his original heroic IDW incarnation as a Velocitronian politician. However, it combines this with his original unethical Decepticon characterization from the ''Prime'' cartoon he originated in. As such though he's initially presented as a light-hearted competitor it's clear that as the Ascenticon/Decepticon representative he's the most morally dubious of the competitors [[spoiler:and by comic's end it's revealed that he was in on all the sabotage, murder, and Minerva's frame up]].

** The Legacy of the Primes draws heavily from the old IDW continuity (Nominus Prime originating from there and Sentinel's design and some of his character drawing from the 2005 comics as well) but are much more heroic. Sentinel and Nominus are presented as flawed individuals who are nonetheless trying to do the right thing for their world whilst in the original Nominus was a crony of the pre-war government and Sentinel was a genocidal madman. The pair were also incredibly xenophobic in the old stories while here both of their administrations have drawn criticism by the future Decepticons for curtailing Cybertron's colonialism.

Megatron explains why he thinks Starscream would be great in the role, but is forced to concede to Sixshot's logic and decides to appoint [[TheRival Soundwave]] instead.
