"Mechanical Difficulties!" the Transformers#28 (May 1987) with credits to Bob Budiansky (script), Don Perlin (pencils), Ian Akin/Brian Garvey (inks), Nel Yomtov (colors), Janice Chiang (letters), and Don Daley (editor)
Remember the Mechanic? Yeah, he's back. He managed to steal some tech from the Ark and he's now on a crime spree. As his first official order of business, Grimlock sends out Blaster and Goldbug to bring the tech back.
They come into conflict with the police, who are fighting the Mechanic and his souped up cars, but they come to an understanding. Pity they fail, the Mechanic gets away, and the two Autobots figure Grimlock is a bit too bloodthirsty for their liking.
Guess someone at Hasbro wanted more synergy, as Grimlock now talkes like his cartoon version. Not bad though, and Blaster and Goldbug get some great character moments. We also see the Autobots as more flawed, and not always as paragons as the cartoon portrayed.
