Summary
The Decepticons learn of a human-built robot car that is being unveiled in a car show. They plan to steal it and convert it into an army of slaves to build them a new city like the Autobots are creating. Hot Rod and Kup get wind of their plot and investigate.
Trivia
This story is obviously not part of any continuity. Ultra Magnus and Galvatron are the leaders while older characters such as Starscream and Windcharger are still alive and following their orders.
Although Hot Rod is essentially the main character, there is not one picture of him in his robot mode.
Even though Norem had painted his characters with Autobot and Decepticon symbols, black line symbols were superimposed over them in a very cheap manner.
Errors
Starscream is painted like Skywarp on one page when he has captured Kup.
