Also, spoilers warning, but for those have read the comic in question or don’t mind being spoiled: this is the one where it’s revealed that Blaster was “The Voice” of the Autobots, and basically the one who helped motivate the forces on the battlefield by rallying them. Around the time of the “Thunderwing debacle” (long story short, Decepticon scientist notices Cybertron is dying. No one listens, so he tries an experimental technology that changes his body to resist the death of the planet but it destroys his mind in the process. He becomes consumed with the need to devastate everything in his path, and it takes the Cons and Bots working together to finally defeat him. But not before doing irreparable damage to Cybertron), Blaster is rallying the troops for one final push. Then he’s attacked and goes silent. Years past, and he’s drifting in space, in stasis. When he’s finally back with the Autobots, it’s eventually discovered that Beabcomber was the one who attacked him, and he did so because Soundwave mind controlled him cause the Cons believed taking out “The Voice” would demoralize the Autobots enough for them to have the advantage. This line is taken from the part of the issue where Blaster confronts Beachcomber.

Personally, it’s one of my favorite Transformers lines so far. I can’t even explain why.
