The Energon Trap
High above the Atlantic ocean, [[Thunderwing_(G1)|Thunderwing] trails a submarine with a dangerous cargo: Plutonium rods. Two hours later, the sub is surrounded by Decepticon Micromasters. Shockwave then contacts the human crew and demands the cargo to be surrendered. While outwardly accepting his terms, the crew also contacts the United Nations' Autobot liaison, asking for help.
Several Autobot units including the Micromaster headquarters and Rocket Base are mobilized immediately at Ark and loaded onto a presumably very large container ship. The ship departs as Goldbug thinks about the fortunate circumstance that the Autobots are supplied by the humans, while the Decepticons have to waste their energy scrounging for those supplies.
During the passage to the mission sight, Optimus Prime radios in to tell the Autobots how important it is not to give in to Decepticon demands even once and to show no weakness. Vroom suggests to pretend to give in to their demands in order to surprise them with an attack, then cuts the feed to avoid being detected by the Cons.
Shortly thereafter, the Autobots spot the Micromaster Space Shuttle, which is serving as a mobile command post for a legion of airborne Decepticons, leading Scoop to believe that this is only the first of a series of planned attacks and suggests to uproot those plans. Surprisingly, however, the Decepticons break formation to encircle a freighter onto which the submarine's cargo is being transferred.
The Aerialbots transport several Pretenders and Powermasters onto that ship only for them to be greeted by Decepticon fire. Goldbug spots Bomb-burst attempting to keel-get the ship as suddenly, the battle somehow gets more intense, lasers and signal flares are everywhere, and everyone tries to get out of the line of fire.
Optimus Prime says to no-one in particular that it is fortunate the freighter happened to come by, enabling the humans to start transferring the cargo to confuse the Decepticons. Furthermore it somehow keeps the Decepticons from using planet-killing super blasters because the risk of a giant explosion that would radiate large swaths of the planet uninhabitable is now too big.
Backstreet overhears those words and orders the Micromaster Rocket Base to begin ceasefire negotiations with the Decepticons, then turns around and orders the Triggerbots and Micromasters in his crew to charge up their freeze- and disintegrator rays to blast the Decepticon aircrafts out of the sky. They do so, forcing the Micromaster Space Shuttle (and thus, all the present Decepticons) into surrender.
Articles and features
- Lots of puzzles lacking in Transformers.
Reprints
Notes
- The cover is astonishingly neon orange, to an extent that cannot be captured by human technology.
- The title to the comic is translated as "The Fire-Dance on Mount Verona".
- The comic doesn't print the finale to this story, Vicious Circle! (as a matter of fact, Condor never printed any material from the Marvel UK Annuals.) It finishes on a cliffhanger, and the next issue goes straight into Ladies' Night.
Errors
Advertisements
- A one page advertisement for the MASK comic.
- A one page advertisement for Action Masters, with a huge picture of Skyfall
-
Action Master Skyfall: So... beautiful
