TFtember: Transformers#52

 "Guess Who the Mecannibals Are Having for Dinner!" the Transformers#52 (May 1989) with credits to Bob Budiansky (script), Jose Delbo (pencils), Dave Hunt (inks), Nel Yomtov (colors), Manny Manos (letters), and Don Daley (editor)


Checking in with the rest of the Autobots, things are looking grim. Dozens are still downed with injuries so Optimus Prime sends out Autobot Pretenders Landmine and Cloudburst to snag some microchips from the Grand Central Space Station. 


They get to the station but things are looking even worse there. Seems the chip market is run by Powermasters Hi-Test and Throttle, neither being particularly loyal to the Autobot ideal. They do manage to lead the two to the missing Sky-Lynx. They find him hanging with the Mecannibals, aliens who just having strangers over for dinner. 

The Powermasters are ecstatic, because that's were Sky-Lynx-he's being had for dinner. Can our heroes rescue their friend? Will they be exposed? Will they stop panicking about being thrown into space long enough to realize they don't need to breathe oxygen?

Ok, good intro for some characters but the Pretenders hard shell? I 'm sorry I just can't buy a three story tall human walking around other humans and not keeping any one fooled. 

Can our heroes escapce?
