"Madman's Paradise", the Transformers, October 13, 1986
Daniel and Grimlock team up!
At a diplomatic function, Daniel is bored. Grimlock, pressganged into serving as a waiter, agrees and the pair ditch the party. Exploring some ruins ends up shunting the pair into another dimension, this one vaguely medieval.
Running afoul of some monsters, Grimlock and Daniel are resuced by the Red Wizard. He invites them back to his castle and explains his tale of woe. They are in Menoia (later they establish the Quintessones would use this world as a sort of garbage dump yet this barely makes a difference in the plot) and he is the Red Wizard. Ages ago the world was ruled by the kindly Golden One but one day he vanished without a trace. The Red Wizard stepped up to rule, being the nice guy he is, but wouldn't you know it, some scumbag rebels are trying to overthrow him. If Grimlock could crush those rebel scum, that would be great.
Daniel gets thrown into the wizard's dungeon, and hey, who's that robbed figure over in the corner?
Interesting. Grimlock is pretty much comedy relief but here it works.
