Ironhide and Bumblebee destroy a project to re-construct Devastator.
Synopsis
Ironhide and Bumblebee track a Transformer lifeform to an island in the Bahamas, hoping that it is their missing teammate Prowl. Instead they discover the site of a project to reconstruct Devastator as a separate robot, since the Constructicons have lost the ability to combine.
Ironhide penetrates the Automated Defense Ring protecting the project, and destroys it.
Featured characters
(Numbers indicate order of appearance.)
Items of note
- The search for Prowl follows his offscreen; Bucky-impression after UK issue #261. He will turn up alive in the care of some kindly Louisiana farmfolk in issue #266.
- Devastator's appearance here is presumably intended to promote his Action Master toy. No in-story explanation is given as to why the Constructicons can no longer combine; nucleon is the obvious suspect, but it's never mentioned.
- The front cover of the issue depicts Bumblebee shouting "There's somethin' moving out here, an' it ain't us!" This is a reference to a line in the 1986 film Aliens, where in one scene Private Hudson (played by Bill Paxton) says the exact same thing, verbatim.
