TFtember: Trans-Europe Express

"Trans-Europe Express", the Transformers, December 23, 1985


Megatron is on a rampage across Istanbul. Why? Because he's looking for Pearl of Bahoudin. It isn't because it's a priceless artifact or the monetary value-no. He wants it because it is actually part of a Cybtertronian weather satellite and with it he can rule the world!


The Autobots, meanwhile, are competing in the Europea 2000 road race. They're racing for charity but their actual mission to safeguard the car of the American driver as the Decepticons might want the prototype racer for themselves. 

Yeah, turns out both plots will merge in the end but it turns out the Decepticons faked a road race to lure the American driver and his fancy car out to combine the car's shell with the pearl. So, how did they fake a race across multiple countries? Wouldn't it have been easier to just steal the car once they get the pearl? Why do something that would involve the Autobots at all?
