"End of the Road!" the Transformers#80 (July 1991) with credits to Simon Furman (script), Andrew Wildman (pencils), Stephan Baskerville (inks), Nelson Yomtov (colors), Rick Parker (letters), and Rob Tokar (editor)
The final issue!
Hey, remember Getaway? Yeah, he just got blown up by Dreadwing and Darkwing.
All told, things are looking grim for the Autobots. Bludgeon and the rest of the Decepticons have utterly steamrolled over the planet they landed on, the Autobots are being picked off left and right. Grimlock is holding his own, but even he can't do everything.
Then, the Neo-Knights arrive!
Oh, and Optimus Prime is with them, plus the Last Autobot.
The Last Autobot then proceeds to bring the slain Autobots back to life and explain that he was built by Primus and the war is to end this second.
Oh, and Hi-Q's body/soul was merged with Optimus Prime and this so impressed the Last Autobot he was able to resurrect Prime from the merging. The resulting battle is quick and Bludgeon swears to go into honorable exile after losing (but promising to raise an army to fight again when out of earshot). Cybertron is restored and the Neo-Knights can bum a ride home!
A bit rushed, true, but all the major plot threads are wrapped up. Would have preferred some more details on the ending; Circuit Breaker is left in a coma, what about her? The rest of the Witwicky clan could have used more closure but as far as endings go it could have been much worse.
