Fiction

Marvel The Transformers comics

Sammy, Jed, and Allan went to an empty train yard to play Space Wars, though Jed had to take his sister, Robin Lindley, along to babysit. While playing, Sammy got tired of Robin's whining to go home, which Allan took as sore sportsmanship. While the two argued, Jed played a prank on the others, pretending to be a policeman and calling out that the gang was under arrest for trespassing, nearly sending Allan into a panic. Afterwards, the sight of a police car driving by briefly forced the group into hiding. After they had sneaked off, Jed spotted a motorcycle with no rider. The other kids thought he was playing another joke, so they followed him to call his fib.

As they poked around, Allan was given another near-conniption by the sound of explosions going off nearby. While Jed tried to convince him that it was only box cars banging into one another, Sammy discovered a mode locked Blaster. The tape deck spoke, which freaked out Sammy and sent him to the other children. Robin then calmly found Blaster, and presented him to the other children, which allowed him to display his speaking abilities to all of them.

A nearby battle between Bruticus and Defensor (the source of the earlier explosions) finally came within visual range of the children, scaring them witless. Blaster, begging his companions for help, convinced Allan to remove his mode lock, despite the protests of the others. The four children were initially startled by the appearance of yet another giant robot, but Blaster assured them that he meant them no harm.

To fool Bruticus, who had defeated Defensor, into believing that Blaster had no loyalty to the Autobots, Blaster and the children put on a show where Blaster "shot" Sammy. The distraction allowed Blaster to put Bruticus out of commission, and Blaster received permission from the Protectobots to escort the children to safety.

Allan and his friends, seeing Blast Off inert, convinced Blaster to accompany them into space. They did so by having Allan mode lock Blast Off, and using him to travel into orbit. Unfortunately, another spaceship, the Ark, came upon them and opened fire on their vessel. Child's Play

Blaster, realizing the danger he was putting the children in, was about to surrender to Grimlock, but Sammy selflessly tossed Blaster out of the space shuttle, away from the Autobots. The kids were taken into Wheeljack's custody and outfitted with spacesuits. They were then brought before Grimlock, who deemed them guilty of helping the traitorous Blaster and sentenced them to death. In reality, this was a ruse to draw out Blaster, who would be compelled to save the children. Just as they were sent drifting into space, they were suddenly swallowed by Sky Lynx, who was saving them on Wheeljack's behalf. Sky Lynx attempted to escape the pursuing Dinobots, but it took Blaster giving himself up to ensure the children's safety. Spacehikers!

The Spacehikers were allowed to be transported by Sky Lynx back to Earth, but when they received a broadcast advertising the Cosmic Carnival, the kids begged to go. Sky Lynx obliged. There, they were delighted by the spectacles, but Berko, working for Big Top, demanded payment for the group. When their supplies of various currencies came up short, Sky Lynx and the children were forced to become part of the circus, working towards some undefined debt. Allan was forced to ride around on a skateboard among other "tricks" for the amusement of slack-jawed aliens.

Optimus Prime and his band of Autobots were attracted to the Cosmic Carnival by yet another advertisement, this time featuring Sky Lynx. Happening upon the children's enclosure, Optimus became enraged that they were being held against their will. Recognizing Optimus's resemblance to their previous Autobot friends, Allan and his friends rushed to him and begged for his help. Though at first it seemed that the Autobots were unwilling to go against the legal contract binding the children to their enslavement, they eventually came through. Goldbug broke the kids out with help from a repentant Berko. Despite some interference from Big Top and his circus gang, the children and Sky Lynx were able to escape in the Steelhaven. The boys then happily played some basketball to pass the time on the journey home. The Cosmic Carnival

Sky Lynx dropped off the children after landing in California, where their parents were eagerly waiting their return. Allan ran into his parents' arms, but a gathered crowd soon turned on the Autobot. Allan and his friends were saddened to see Sky Lynx forced to leave while anti-robot activists hurled insults and refuse at him. Monstercon from Mars!
