Misinterpretation in Junior Press
The Dutch publisher Junior Press published translations of (mainly American) Marvel comic stories. On the inside front cover of issue number 16, Optimus Prime swore that the Mechabots would fight for good. However, that page shows Autobots fighting Decepticons. The person responsible for the text of that page clearly believed that the toyline was called Mechabots instead of Autobots. (The Mechabots were not featured in this issue: this issue featured the story of the building of Optimus Prime's Powermaster bodies.) The inside front cover even had its own copyright notice, showing that the regular editing and translating staff of the comic were not responsible for that page.
