Packaged alongside the MC Axis resin model kits in 1996 came a series of one-page The Transformers comic strips, written and drawn by Hidetsugu Yoshioka. One comic was packaged with the Arcee model, one came with the Elita One model and a third was included with the Hot Rod model.
These comics feature a few oddities. Firstly, despite being released exclusively in Japan, they read from left to right like an American comic (something typical of Yoshioka) and are even written in English. Secondly, Yoshioka includes a drawing of Optimus Prime's head down by the assembly instructions. For some odd reason, he is drawn in his Marvel Comics Powermaster design.

Suddenly, they are attacked from behind by a massive Decepticon. Arcee immediately saves them by killing the villain with a single shot. Arcee reminds the two Female Autobots that war is especially tough on females. They then ponder whether danger is tripled when three beautiful women are involved.
Elita One
[edit]
After defeating a towering Decepticon foe, the Female Autobots celebrate their victory, declaring that they can retake Cybertron all by themselves. Meanwhile, a pensive Elita One realizes that although they talk tough, they are actually worn-out. She wonders when Optimus Prime will return and end the war for good.
Hot Rod
[edit]
In the darkness, a shadowy figure commands, "Destroy him!" But Hot Rod won't have any of that. He charges forward, triumphantly, both guns blazing! And he boasts:
