TFttember: The Transformers#23

"Decepticon Graffiti!" the Transformers#23 (December 1986) with credits to Bob Budiansky (script), Don Perlin (pencils), Ian Aiken/Brian Garvey (inks), Nel Yomtov (colors), Janice Chiang (letters), and Don Daley (editor)


Skids is in trouble. Thanks to Donny's double cross, he's now in RAAT's custody and about to be dissected. Donny is starting to feel bad about this. 

Megatron unveils two new characters, IE new toys. Runamuck and Runabout are brought from Cybertron and ordered to deliver a message to Optimus Prime-a duel to the death!

Ordered out, the two Battlechargers aren't real keen on listening to a guy they haven't seen in a few million years. Pulling over to ponder, they notice a child spray painting some graffiti on a gas station wall. Inspired, they vow to follow the family and commit similar acts at every stop. 

Pity the family is going on a cross country road trip, so quite a few national monuments are about to covered in Cybertronian profanity. 

RAAT finally figures it out and confronts the pair. Circuit Breaker gets hurt and is ordered to remain at base. She says nuts to that and thanks to a suggestion from Donny, has the perfect idea...

Runamuck and Runabout decide that spray painting the Statue of Liberty would be their magnum opus when Circuit Breaker arrives!

And she's using a Frankenstein Monster's battle mech made from the Autobots she cut up. I somehow doubt Donny suggested that. 

She manages to drive the pair off and even gives the Autobots back their body parts. She is then fired from RAAT for, well, see above. 

Good way to introduce new characters and Circuit Breaker even gets some chracter moments.
