Soaring above his enemies, Swoop strikes a pose as an unseen narrator details his abilities.

Notes

  • 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.
