Blaster tries to help Teletraan 15 out of her funk.
Synopsis
Teletraan 15 is still not fully recovered from her run-in with Galvatron. As she stares off into the sky, Blaster is nearby in boombox mode, and decides it's his job to cheer the moody computer up. After listening to her problems, he advises her not to worry about what she ought to do and suggests that she concentrate on doing what she loved best. To help her out, he gives her a tape and tells her that she should listen to music to cheer up any time she feels down. A thankful 15 takes the tape, feeling better, and Blaster leaves, mission accomplished...
Unfortunately, the tape turns out to be full of really depressing music.
15 Memo
According to 15, Blaster is the Autobots' communicator who transforms into a tape deck. Unusually for Transformers, Blaster is enamored with music, especially rock and depressing songs, to the bemusement of his fellow Autobots. However, he's growing up and being entrusted with important responsibilities such as managing Scramble City. Just when is somebody "grown up", though?
Teletraan 10 comments that Blaster's Electro-Scrambler Gun could theoretically work on humans... but that scary scenario's never been put to the test.

Notes
- This volume's featured toy is the Transformers Collection reissue of Blaster.
- Steeljaw is shown in tape mode in this installment, but he is not identified by name nor is there any real visual clue to let the reader know the tape Blaster gives 15 is Steeljaw. We find that out next volume.
- Blaster handing off a cassette in an effort to cheer someone up with music (that was eventually revealed to be horribly depressing) echoes Blaster doing the same thing to Daniel in The Headmasters.
- The art on this page is a lot less detailed than the previous comics, with very little zip-tone shading to boot. It's likely that since Ohshima had been tapped to draw the ongoing Kiss Players manga around that time, that he was in a rush on this piece.
