TFtember: Transformers#37

 "Toy Soldiers!" the Transformers#37 (February 1988) with credits to Bob Budiansky (script), Jose Delbo (pencils), Ian Akin & Brain Garvey (inks), Nel Yomtov (colors), Bill Oakley (letters), and Don Daley (editor)


So, how has Grimlock been doing as a leader?


Pretty awful actually


Yeah, with his brilliant idea to take the Autobots off Earth and pursue Blaster across the universe the Decepticons have taken full advantage. 


Thus, the main human faction, Triple-I in case you came in late, is a bit put off. Despite their captives being very clear there are two factions at work, the suits don't care. They even put out a statement-just one more raid or disturbance and they will kill their captives. 

The Decepticons, upon hearing this naturally think "we can steal more stuff and the human will kill 6 Autobots? Maybe humans aren't as bad as we think."

Agent Forsythe, however, thinks this is a bad idea. Sick of the red tape, he manages to act after the 'con do another raid. He removes the Autobot's brains from their shells before Triple-I has them tossed in a car compactor. 

Which would be fine, except Ratbat and some other Decepticons show up to pay their respects, i.e. strip the corpses just to make sure the humans did the job. When they fail to find the brain circuits, this makes Ratbat rather annoyed...

Back on Portland, Walter Barnett has an idea. If they could just get into the Ark they might be able to find something that could stop the 'cons. He tracks down Buster since he was the only human close to the 'bots. Sparkplug gives it the ok but after the two leave, Ratbat shows up and tears his house apart, mostly because he is a jerk. 

Goldbug and Buster, after being stalked by the Decepticons, manage to ditch them and get back to the Ark, only to find it gone. The place isn't empty though, as Ratbat snuck in and he isn't in the best of moods...


Really taking a turn for the serious here, and man, Sparkplug just can't catch a break can he?
