Transformers in Action: Attack at Dawn

Joint Decepticon leaders Shockwave and Megatron have a new plan—to invade Alaska and steal all the oil from the source! However the Autobots led by Powermaster Optimus Prime quickly discover this plan, and a battle breaks out. The Decepticon Pretenders are deployed and battle the Small Targetmaster Autobots and Headmaster Autobots. Siren and Nightbeat are hit and forced to transform. The Autobots manage to encircle the Decepticons, when Quickmix accidently guns down a Minibot and in the confusion the Decepticons escape.

After the battle Optimus Prime sits everyone down and gives them a good telling off for turning off their guidance systems. He then teaches them the difference between Autobots and Decepticons so the Targetmasters don't go on any more Minibot-killing sprees.(source)

Articles and features

  • There are quite a few pages of generic non-Transformers-based puzzles

Reprints

Notes

  • Rather than an amalgamation, this issue contains the entirety of the reprinted US strip.
  • For some reason the reprinted strip is titled "Rock 'n' Roll + Ramba-Zamba". "Ramba-Zamba" is a slang word similar to "razamatazz".
  • The damaged "Minibot" was likely a Sparkabot, which, similar to the UK, are named "Sparkler Minibots" later in the story. Or, more precisely, "Sparkler Minibot" is used as a collective term for both Sparkabots and Firecons. Or something.
  • The text story teaches us that it is prohibited for an Autobot to turn off their guidance circuits.
  • The cover retools interior art of Soundwave into Optimus Prime and surrounds him with a bunch of craziness.

Errors

  • 'Horsehead' is obviously supposed to be Hosehead. The writer uses the name more than once, so either this is some bizarre parallel world, or Hosehead was cursed by the fairy queen.

Advertisements

  • A one-page advertisement proudly displays Dreadwind, although it calls him Darkwing
  • An advert for the Super-Transformers-Club featuring Getaway, Joyride, Sizzle, Landmine and Powermaster Optimus Prime
