"Ring of Hate!" the Transformers: Headmasters (July 1987), with credits to Bob Budiansky (script), Frank Springer (pencils), Ian Akin & Brian Garvey (inks), Nell Yomtov (colors), Diana Albers (letters) and Don Daley (ediotr)
We open with a usual sight: a pitched battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons. Scorponk and his Decepticons are leading some Autobot prisoners to some smelting pits, but a group of Autobots lead by Fortress Maximus attack. The Decepticons flee and everyone is happy!
Well, everyone save Maximus. He's sick of everything and he announces his intention to retire. He takes his followers and splits for the planet of Nebulos. They arrive and from there we meet the locals. There are quite a few but the chief two are Galan and Lord Zarek. Galan wants peace and is perfectly fine with the Autobots being on the planet. Zarek, on the other hand, sees profit in war and wants to stir things up. They manage to turn the people against the bots when they magnitze Blur's arm and kick off a small riot.
Maximus and four other Autobots arrive in town and beg for peace. To prove their sincerity, they kneel down and tear their heads off.
Wow. A bit different than the show, for sure. I get wanting the leave the war, but why couldn't the Decepticons just follow them?
