TFtember: The Ultimate Weapon

"The Ultimate Weapon", the Transformers, November 10, 1986

Bit of a mess

The Netherlands is apparently an abject hellhole with roving gangs terrorizing the streets. Things are so bad the call is made to the Autobots, who send the Protectobots. They might have fared well against the humans, but when the Decepticons attack Blades is injured. 

While First Aid takes his comrade back to Metroplex for repairs, Galvatron threatens Rodimus with 'the Ultimate Weapon'. 

Back at Metroplex, First Aid is confronted by Swindle, who's in the middle of stealing the city robot's transformation cog. First Aid is a pacifist; a fact Swindle takes advantage of rather easily and gets away with the cog. 

Swindle returns to Galvatron with the cog in tow, they promptly install it in Trypticon. First Aid, guilty over what his inactions resulted in, leaves the team forever. Which is a problem, as the restored Trypticon easily crushes everything in his path, as it turns out First Aid is the only with the technical knowhow to fix Metroplex. Can First Aid overcome his principals in time?

Honestly could have used a rewrite or two. First Aid's whole deal comes across as Lifeline's issues from GI Joe.
