Synopsis
[edit]Grimlock has decided that Soundwave has been in charge of the Transformers letters page far too long and it's time a Dinobot took charge. He smashes into the Marvel Comics UK building, being mistaken for a rat by a drunken homeless guy. Inside, the receptionist directs him to Soundwave's room as Grimlock wonders what to call the letters page—"'Lock's Letters" or "Grim Grams"? He reaches the door and smashes it open, but is horrified by what he sees. Meanwhile, a blond boy carries Soundwave's tape player mode out of the building, en route to America. Soundwave cannot help sniggering, for Grimlock has been buried by an avalanche of unopened mail!

Notes
[edit]- "I Grimlock"? Which Grimlock is this?
- This one-page special strip was written to explain the changeover in letters page answerer. Simon Furman scripted it but the only credit on the strip itself is to Lew Stringer.
- A similar special, entitled "The Wind of Change!" would appear in issue #183.
- The blond boy was later named as 'snitch' Alan in issue 84's Grim Grams, which revealed that he was one of Soundwave's human helpers from during his time hosting the letters page.
Errors
[edit]- Grimlock's head and arm are green in the third panel and his neck white in the seventh.
- Soundwave's tape player mode has grown in size and is now as large as a ghetto blaster.
