Ratchet has worked non-stop for the last ten days to repair the fallen Optimus Prime. At last his work is finished, and before the assembled Autobots within the Ark, he flips the switch to send a power surge through Optimus's body. But to the grief of all, no spark of life returns to the Autobot leader, and Ratchet declares that Optimus Prime is beyond repair.
Omega Supreme arranges a variety of heavy armaments, remotely activated via a remote-controlled power booster rod, to defend the Ark so that the Autobots can carry out a full Cybertronianfuneral service for Prime. Ratchet chooses to stay behind rather than face another of his failures; First Aid leaves him with some words of comfort and encouragement before departing with the other Autobots.
Alone in the Ark, Ratchet pays a morose visit to the Ark's life support bay, despairing that he lacks both the parts and the equipment to effect proper repairs on the many off-line Autobots stored there. Gazing on Prowl's inert form, Ratchet decides to stop moping and be more proactive about repairing his comrades. He drives to a nearby used auto parts junkyard, and begins scavenging parts to fit his patients.
While he works, however, a nearby police sting unfolds, as the local police attempt to bring in the head of a stolen car ring who calls himself "the Mechanic". Hiding in ambulance mode, Ratchet is discovered by the Mechanic and his assistant Juan, who promptly use him as an escape vehicle. Forced to aid the Mechanic lest he blow his cover, Ratchet is pursued by local police authorities, and in an effort to evade them, he uses some of his Autobot weaponry (namely, a cryogenic sprayer and a laser scalpel) on the pursing vehicles, hoping that the Mechanic - paralyzed by his crippling fear of the police - won't notice. The Mechanic does indeed see the power of these weapons, however, and removes them for his own use.
The two thieves return to their home base garage and began examining the strange ambulance and discussing what to do with their find. Ratchet finally decides he's had enough - but when he transforms and attempts to retrieve his surgical instruments, the Mechanic uses the cryogenic sprayer to freeze him solid.
Deep in the Cascades, Omega Supreme lays Optimus Prime's body in a funeral bier. After a heartfelt eulogy from Perceptor, the bier is launched into space, to return to the cosmos.
When Ratchet thaws out, he returns to the Ark, only to be followed by the Mechanic and Juan, who hope to follow Ratchet to the source of more Cybertronian weaponry. Before Ratchet realizes that he has led the humans right to the Ark, the Mechanic has stolen the power booster rod from the Ark's defense systems, in addition to Ratchet's weapons.
Using these devices, the Mechanic injures Ratchet and reactivates the Ark's automatic defenses so that the Autobots are prevented from offering assistance as they return from Optimus Prime's funeral. Crippled, Ratchet drives off to the repair bay, doing what he can to restore his fallen friends with the junkyard parts. The Mechanic arrives, and is on the verge of crushing Ratchet with a piece of machinery when a police car arrives! The terrified Mechanic flees... never realizing that the police car is actually the partially-restored Prowl.
The Mechanic escapes with the power booster rod and Ratchet's tools; Ratchet deactivates the defenses and ends the assault on his comrades. Outside, he and First Aid take stock of the damage - nothing too serious. His spirits lifted, Ratchet reflects that he's had no time to think about the dead - he's focused on helping the living.
"He wasn't just another gun-toting conscript to me, First Aid. He was my friend. I'm staying."
"I understand your grief, Ratchet. But remember -- we doctors must concern our selves with those we can still help -- the living. Where there's life, there's hope."
—Ratchet and First Aid
"We are gathered to pay final tribute to Optimus Prime -- commander, leader... friend. His courage was the beacon that guided us through the dark wilderness of this alien world. His love and kindness inspired us when our prospects seemed most bleak. His wisdom washed over us in unending waves. If we each retained but a drop we would each be immeasurably the better for it. We thank you, Optimus Prime. Farewell. We send you to join with the universe -- to return to the cosmic dust from which all life began... and from which it will begin again."
—Perceptor delivers a eulogy for Optimus Prime
"That human was right. I suppose courage wasn't included in my programming -- why would a doctor need it? And I'm not much of a doctor either. I've lost more lives than I've saved! I can't even save myself! Guess I'll never have a chance to repair everyone here. Sorry, Prowl. But at least you're still alive. And.... where there's life, there's hope."
—Ratchet, crippled and hunted
"I'm glad you're in much better spirits than a few hours ago, Ratchet. Have you finally put the loss of Optimus Prime behind you?"
"No, not yet. But I guess I've been too busy to think about the dead... I've been too concerned with helping the living."
This issue takes place concurrently with issue #3 of the G.I. Joe and the Transformers crossover mini-series, published earlier the same month. That issue showed more of Optimus Prime's funeral, in a scene set between pages 10 and 12 of this issue, and back half of its action takes place right after the end of this issue, after the Autobots have completed the ceremony and returned to the Ark. As is common with the crossover, the continuity is not a perfect fit, as it depicts Prime's funeral behind held at the Ark, while this issue has the Autobots leave the ship to hold it elsewhere in the mountains.
In G.I. Joe and the Transformers #2, Blaster ordered "all Autobots" back to the Ark in response to Optimus's death, meaning that the start of this issue gives us a handy run-down of all operational Autobots on Earth. As well as the numerous 'bots past stories have seen put in the repair bay, the notable absentees are the Dinobots, who have been AWOL since issue #19; Bumblebee, who was blown up by G.I. Joe in the first issue of the crossover, and whose remains are currently in their custody; and Bluestreak and Mirage, who have never been shown being damaged on-panel, but who were missing from a similar roll-call in issue #19, thus confirming they're definitely currently on the injured list.
As previously implied by Blaster's appearance in the Joe crossover, he and the rest of the Cybertron Seven are confirmed to have joined up with the Earth-based Autobot forces following the events of issue #23. The UK series got ahead of this development, and actively showed Blaster's group arriving at the Ark in UK issue #103.
Ratchet notes that he's managed to keep most of the Autobots alive in the Ark's life support bays.
As he scavenges in the junkyard, Ratchet finds parts for Ironhide and Gears, as well as Prowl.
Portland businesses visible in the backgrounds include A-1 Used Auto Parts (Domestic & Foreign), Jeanies, a liquor store, Paint World, a sub store, Bar O, Gursky's, and of course, Forbe's Garage.
Having been offline in the repair bay since the events of issue #12, Prowl is briefly made operational again at the climax of this issue, but he remains very weak—too weak to even stand—and after this story, he will disappear from the series again until issue #36 (around the time many offline Autobots will be reactivated), indicating his repairs were only temporary.
The Ark sits in rural Oregon; the funeral happens elsewhere within the Cascades. The junkyard is off Route 26 in the Southeast area of Portland, where the Portland Police Department springs their trap. (Our Google Maps pedant-o-vision tells us that there actually are several junkyards a mile or so off of Route 26 in the city's Southeast neighborhood!)
Assuming the Protectobots were granted life via the Creation Matrix (since the Autobots currently have no means of getting reinforcements from Cybertron), First Aid's words to Ratchet on pages 3 and 4 seem to be words of long experience that he shouldn't really have yet.
Speaking of whom, why wasn't First Aid aiding Ratchet in repairing Prime in the first place?
It's not real clear how Omega Supreme - who has a gun for one arm and a claw for the other - could construct anything at all, let alone an elaborate defence system.
The choice of Perceptor to deliver the eulogy is a... curious one. He and his group didn't join the Ark's Autobots until after the events of issue #23, and Optimus was killed almost immediately afterwards, in issue #24! We never saw the two characters together; in fact, this is the first time in the American stories we've seen Perceptor's group with the Ark Autobots.
The Mechanic removes Ratchet's weapons from his interior with an ordinary screwdriver. Did the Ark adapt the Transformersthat much to Earth?
Similarly, the 'on' and 'off' positions for the Ark's defence systems are marked in English. That certainly makes it easier for the Mechanic to figure out how they work. Maybe Omega Supreme marked them that way because he was created on Earth?
Page 4, panel 3: block coloring gives us a white Skids, a blue Hoist, and a white Fireflight.
Ratchet's ambulance mode is consistently colored all-white - even the light bars! (Partially corrected in Transformers: Classics)
Omega Supreme isn't nearly as huge as he was in #19; now he's maybe twice the height of an average Transformer. (And how did he get to the funeral, anyway?)
Page 10, panel 2: Omega's arm is colored orange instead of gray.
Page 21, panel 6: Powerglide is colored like Seaspray.
When US page 2 was printed, Skids' appearance and caption were blacked out. This was because according to the UK comic's continuity, he'd been displaced to Limbo by a time-traveling Galvatron eight issues earlier.
US page 5, panel 7 was altered to read 'I think this thermostat might fit BLUESTREAK' to account for IRONHIDE showing up prominently in 'Target: 2006'.
The order of US pages 10 and 11 was reversed when they were printed in the UK comic to provide the issue with a more poignant cliffhanger—the beginning of the funeral of Optimus Prime.
In Grim Grams, one reader asks for people to send him nominations for the 1986 Transformers Awards and another reader requests Comic Exchange to be added alongside Stock Exchange.
Issue #110
Back-up strips:The Inhumanoids - "I Left My Monsters in San Francisco" and Robo-Capers
In the US continuity, Prowl has been damaged since "Prime Time!", although he appears in both 'Rock and Roll-Out!' and 'Plight of the Bumblebee!' in error. In the UK continuity he recovered and was seen last attending (fake) Optimus' funeral in "Resurrection!". What caused the injuries seen in this episode for the UK continuity is never mentioned.
{{#if: "I don't care for the term 'grease monkey'." |
US issue #26 - How manly!
UK issue #109 - The UK really liked their lime green. The editor was Scrapper.
UK issue #110 - Now this is more like it! If only we could see what was going on.
