"Plight of the Bumblebee!" the Transformers#16 (May 1986) with credits to Len Kaminski (script), Graham Nolan (pencils), Tom Morgan (inks), Nel Yomtov (colors), Bill Oakly (letters), and Mike Carlin (editor)
Our first fill-in issue. Supposedly Peter David was meant to handle this but issues with the art held things up.
Shockwave is calling a meeting of the Decepticons. Their focus is on the weakest Autobot, according to Shockwave, so the jets are ordered to take out none other than Bumblebee!
Bumblebee is sulking as his contributions to the fighting in the past few issues wasn't a whole lot. Deciding it would be better if he just left, he gets attacked by Laserbeak. He manages to ditch him by hiding in a car lot and powering down.
Which is fine, except for that night when two teens are looking to do some joyriding and they figure a yellow VW Bug would be the perfect ride. They wake him up but to keep the illusion he goes along with it. At least until the Decepticons resume their attack.
Not a bad issue and good use of Bumblebee.
