Optimus defends some rabbits... Or is it the inverse?
Synopsis
Optimus Prime and Bumblebee land upon a planet, and meet a friendly race of bunny-like aliens, who seem to worship the local energy pits. However, this peace is quickly ruined by Megatron and Starscream, who decide to take over the planet and enslave the locals. Prime and Megatron start fighting using their respective energon weapons Sherman Dam-style, until the aliens take matters into their own paws... By amassing into a giant rabbit, grabbing the Decepticons and hurling them into deep space! While Prime congratulates the bunnies and their courage, Bee just cuddles them and sings peace's praises.

Notes
- This comic was published in the October/November/December 2023 issue of TV Magazine and advertised the Rise of the Beasts Scourge and War for Cybertron Gamer Edition Optimus Prime figures from the Studio Series toyline and the first collected edition of Go! Go!.
- It was rerun as the March 2024 issue of the webcomic where it advertised the Studio Series Optimus Prime and Bumblebee figures, the Premium Finish Megatron and Starscream toys, and of course the first collected edition of Go! Go!.
Transformers references
- Go! Go! is fairly reference light this month beyond the entire issue being an extended riff on Optimus Prime's famous motto first introduced in his Generation 1 toy bio, "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings."[1]
Real-world references
- While the alien species introduced in this issue is all-new for Go! Go!, their body shape and crater-littered planet is pretty transparently drawing on the common association between rabbits and the moon in Japanese culture stemming from their analogue to the "man in the moon", probably best known to western readers from Sailor Moon protagonist Usagi Tsukino (月野 うさぎ, Tsukino Usagi), whose name is an oft-remarked upon homonym with the Japanese word for rabbit (兎). Transformers fans, meanwhile, will likely recognize the association from the Beast Wars II rabbit named. Uh. Moon.
