"The Cure!" the Transformers#30 (July 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 Throttlebots? Ratbat sure does and he makes it clear that unless they destroy the scraplets in ten hours, he'll make sure they get blown up with the rest of the Earth.
Charlie, the scientist from last issue, is pushing an infected Goldbug to nearby gas station when they discover the cure-water! Pity that both Rollbar and Wide Load arrive, ready to fight. Seeing the cure at work though, convinces them to focus their efforts on the bigger picture.
Which turns out to be rather literal as the remaining scraplets suddenly form into a giant being. Curing both Blaster and the infected Decepticons gives Goldbug enough firepower to keep the beast at bay before he can destroy it for good.
Astrotrain, meanwhile, learns of Mister Blackrock and figures he could be of use to the Decepticon cause. He flashes a light pattern in front of his eye before escaping with the rest of the Decepticons, along with the orginal ship's unseen cargo.
Good and nice use of the new characters. The cure is a bit odd, as #29 and this one makes it clear that the scraplets are known, and the cure is known, but the cure's chief ingredient is apparently so rare and legendary most doubt it exists. So they don't think water is real? Kind of odd considering what the last previous issues have said.
