TFtember: Auto-Bop

  "Auto-Bop", the Transformers, Nov. 13 1985


The dancing episode


Raoul and his pals are just trying to earn some scratch via breakdancing. Pity they opted to dance near the Danitron disco, who send out some punks to run them off. Thankfully Blaster and Tracks happen by and rescue the teens.


The 'bots enter the disco and notice right away something is amiss. Among the usual teenagers, they spot a middle aged businessman, a woman in hair rollers, a garbage man, etc. 

Raoul and his pals are taking a train home when the conductor goes loopy and tries to crash the train. Hooking back up with the 'bots, Raoul and Tracks notice there's an active construction sit. By itself? Not odd. At one in the morning with the same crew they spotted in the disco? Now that might warrant another look.


Yeah, turns out it's a Decepticon trap. Overall good and Tracks does pretty good. The big reveal was a pinch telegraphed but a decent ride all things considered.
