TFtember: Transformers#51

"The Man in the Machine!" the Transformers#51 (April 1989) with credits to Bob Budiansky (script), Jose Delbo (pencils), Dave Hunt (inks), Nel Yomtov (colors), Bill Oakley (letters), and Don Daley (editor)


Spike's been having some rough nights. While he's glad his brother Buster is back, he's been plagued by increasingly horrible nightmares. He vows to do something about-while he's on a skiing vacation with his buddy Cliff he'll toss his headmaster control helmet away at the earliest opportunity.

He does so at a junkyard they pass on the way to the mountains but this doesn't quiet the nightmares. It also provides Decepticon trackers Carnivac and Snarler the scent to track him down. Which they do as Spike and Cliff try to enjoy the slops. 

Ditching the killer robots for a moment, Cliff relies on his few semesters of classes to try and help Spike, who realizes the nightmares aren't some hidden meaning fluff but rather Fortress Maximus calling for help. Falling asleep, Spike makes contact with the giant robot and summons him for help. 

Pretty decent and the action moves at a good pace.
