Megatron discovers the true meaning of fear...

Synopsis

Soaring above his enemies, Swoop strikes a pose as an unseen narrator details his abilities. He calls out his motto, "Fear can hit targets unreachable to bullets!" which prompts Megatron on the ground below to question what kind of secret weapon could possibly strike fear into the heart of a Decepticon? Swoop responds by unleashing his deadliest payload yet - Dinobot droppings!

(Numbers indicate order of appearance.)

Items of note

  • This is the only Robo-Capers strip to feature "real" Transformers without reference to the letters page, or some other fourth wall-breaking device and could be said to fit into Marvel UK continuity, if one so desired.
  • As such it has the dubious honour of adding defecation to the humanisation canon, which raises all sorts of complicated questions.
  • Or we could just treat it as a joke and nothing more.
