"Club Con!" the Transformers#47 (December 1988) with credits to Bob Budiansky (script), Jose Delbo (pencils), Dave Hunt (inks), Nel Yomtov (colors), Bill Oakley (letters), and Don Daley (editor)
The Autobots are puzzled. They know what the Decepticons are doing, they're just puzzled as to WHY they are doing it. Namely, running a resort called Club Con. It is decided that Blaster shall go in undercover.
But who will be the humans? Rember the Witwickys? Sparkplug is still worried about the missing Buster, and Buster's gal Jesse is equally worried. Blaster shows up and tells them of the plan. Jesse, saying Sparkplug is too darn ugly to be seen at the beach, opts to go.
They are greeted by Starscream, who acts as the Mister Rourke for the island. Jesse goes for a swim and spots some Sharkicons patrolling the water. Going back with Blaster, they end up finding Buster and the reason for the club.
Seems some time ago, the Autobots sent some micro cassettes to Earth, where they were promptly found by some pirates, who then got sunk. Yup, the club is a front for a slave mining camp so the 'cons can find the cassettes. Jesse manages to swipe them but gets discovered. Blaster spits them out in the ocean and slips away with Jesse, with both of them vowing to return.
We get to see what Buster's been doing since we last saw him. Issues get raised here, namely why a club? Wouldn't the Sharkicons be more useful? How are kidnapping people and making them work underwater the most effective means of searching? And Jesse might have some darn deep lungs giving how deep she's diving.
