A few useful tips concerning your free sticker!

Synopsis

[edit]

A sweet little rhyme tells you the do's and don'ts of where to put a Transformers sticker: not on your rear end, as people will laugh at you; not on your teacher, as you'll be placed in detention; not on your school bully for fear of violent retribution; instead you should wear it yourself as a proud Transformers fan.

Notes

[edit]
  • This strip was made to tie in with the Galvatron badge that came free with this issue. Lew Stringer does his best "swipe" of Geoff Senior's artwork for the badge. The subsequent issue would feature a strip in a similar vein.
  • Presumably due to the lack of robots, the contents page for this issue calls this strip "Not Robo Capers", and it ran without the regular Robo-Capers logo.
  • The rest of the issue refers to the free gift as a "badge", rather than a sticker, but the truth lies somewhere in the middle: it was a thick card disc with an adhesive back.

Errors

[edit]
  • Being a proud Transformers fan is considered attractive.
