"A Decepticon Raider in King Arthur's Court", the Transformers, October 24, 1985
Warpath and Hoist are duking it out with Starscream, Rumble, Ravage, and Ramjet. The 'cons flee and duck into a nearby cave. This isn't an ordinary cave, however, as the bots end up 543 AD, somewhere in England.
They run into Sir Wigend, who takes them to be fellow knights. Starscream and Ramjet are roughly twenty stories tall, so Sir Wigend is a bit dim.
The two Autobots, plus Spike, follow them into the past. Once arrived, they end up meeting Sir Wigend's rival, Sir Aetheling the Red. Spike is taken with the man's daughter. He tries to fight for her hand, but Rumble proves to be better at jousting,
Starscream, now utterly sick of the whole code of honor nonsense, just up and kidnaps Nimue (the aforementioned daughter). An army is assembled but Starscream introduces them to a nifty new invention-gunpowder.
With a dragon prowling around, can our heroes succeed?
Pretty good, even if the 'heroes end up in the past' had been done before a few times by now.
