TFtember: Transformers#14

 "Rock and Roll-Out!" the Transformers#14 (March 1986) with credits to Bob Budiansky (script), Don Perlin (pencils), Al Gordon (inks), Nel Yomtov (colors), Janice Chiang (letters), and Mike Carlin (editor)

Adds for the upcoming toys and the single greatest cameo ever. 

Jetifre is now formerly made an Autobot. While Ratchet is trying to get everyone back on their feet, Optimus decides to break out the reserves. 

Yes, reserves. Seems five Autobots volunteered to have their minds uploaded into crystals, so now Optimus figures this would be a good time to thaw them out into new bodies. Thus Grapple, Hoist, Skids, Smokescreen, and Tracks are reborn in Earth vehicles. Everyone save for Hoist is ordered to follow Bumblebee on a tour of Earth. 

Blackrock is meeting an intelligence officer to oversee the captured Decepticon jets, but Shockwave shows up to rescue his erstwhile companions. Thanks to some hidden microphones, Blackrock knows the Decepticons are going to steal some sonic energy. But what can that mean?

Bumblebee is continuing with the tour when guess who's going to doing a show tonight? The BOSS!

Yup, Brick Springstern and the 10th Avenue Band is doing a show tonight! Meanwhile DC is trying to come up with a cover story. Seems the talk of giant alien robots is making Joe Sixpack nervous. 

Well he's about to get a lot more nervous when Bumblebee and the rest of the Autobot rookies crash the concert. They save the band and the people but now the reports are going to be harder to dismiss than swamp gas and mass hallucinations. 

Pretty good, although I'm puzzled by Brick. Marvel's worked with celebs before, was Bruce asking too much?
