• The Transformers (Marvel UK) #168-169 - "Meltdown!" Parts 1 & 2

Notes

• The text story is largely a recycled version of the story published in issue 5. Except that story was credited to Robert Mann, yet this one is credited to Michael Rubin! Since the original story itself was apparently reycled from an issue of the M.A.S.K. Comic-Magazin, published by Interpart, one of Condor's alternate identities/imprints, it's possible that Rubin was the original writer of the M.A.S.K. version, and this version finally credits him properly. All the spelling and facton attribution errors present in the version published in issue 5 are still present in this version, with the most notable change being the fact that Bumblebee is called "Goldbug" now... who is still equipped with a Pretender shell. Which can still transform into a Volkswagen Beetle. And like Bumblebee in the original version, Goldbug is also "tied up and gagged" by the Decepticons. How that is supposed to work with that mouthplate of his.
• The translated comic is titled "Hotter than a Thousand Suns".

Errors

• The Triggerbots fight against the... Triggerbots? Presuambly, those were meant to be the Triggercons.
