"Crater Critters" the Transformers#29 (June 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)
Blaster and Goldbug reach out to GB Blackrock. He is a bit hesitant to trust them, but he gives them a task; it seems a meteor crashed in Arizona. Taking the job, the pair head out.
The meteor, as it turns out, is actually a Decepticon ship. The fact that the pilot failed to check in makes Ratbat nervous; thus he sends out the Triple Changers!
Blitzwing (robot to tank to jet)
Astrotrain (robot to space shuttle to locomotive)
Octane (robot to oil tanker to jumbo jet)
They arrive and chase off the scientists investigating the crash. The reason the pilot failed to check in becomes clear. The ship's cargo was scraplets. Think metal piranha, only capable of explosive breeding. The Triple Changers find themselves infected with the metal horrors. Blaster falls too, but when Goldbug leaves (to help a scientist find a cure), Blaster swears revenge for his friend's apparent betrayal. Pity that Goldbug is also infected too...
Darn good and great way to introduce the new toys.
