"Triple Takeover", the Transformers, Nov. 19 1985
Starscream, Blitzwing, and Astrotrain are hanging out, blasting their faces onto mountain sides. They do a Mount Rushmore bit with themselves next to Megatron. Natrually they decide one of those things in not like the other and thus doesn't belong.
They trick Megatron easy enough but then 'wing and 'train figure why not kill two birds with one stone? So Starscream gets frozen too.
Now, the question is, who gets to lead? The triple changers opt to challenge each other. Blitzwing sets up shop in a football stadium, with a beleaguered football coach as an assistant. He interprets 'zone defense' and 'long bomb' as rather literal, thus he starts bombing the nearby city and has the Constructicons build a massive maze. He ends up with several Autobots built into a throne.
Astrotrain turns a bunch of trains into some drones, which all end up destroyed or underwater.
When Megatron gets free, as naturally he would, well, he isn't in the best of moods. Can he restore order within the Decepticon ranks?
A bit silly but a nice showcase of the Triple Changers, even if Astrotrain is a bit inconsistent when compared to eariler episodes.
