TFtember: Prime Target

 "Prime Target", the Transformers, Nov. 14 1985


Or, the One Where Optimus Prime said "boobies"


We open with a proper crossover with GI Joe, as an Oktober Guard jet is speared by a submarine. The culprit is Lord Chumley, big game hunter and he's looking to nab the ultimate prize for his collection: The Head of Optimus Prime!


Chumley and his manservant Dinsmore capture several Autobots first. With world tensions reaching fever pitch, Chumley manages to capture several more before sending a message to Prime-his life for his friends. Prime is rather annoyed but Megatron (who's been spying on the conversation) is rather happy. The Decepticon sends Blitzwing and Astrotrain to check out Chumley's lair. They get captured rather quickly.  

Prime fights his way through Chumley's estate and manages to finds his friends. Chumley frees the two Decepticons to fight Prime but turns out you really can't trust someone called a Decepticon. 

Amusing plus we see Hector Ramirez the newscaster here. A rather nice rift on the Most Dangerous Game which has been done before but still rather neat here.
