Grimlock hates jokes.
Synopsis
[edit]On Cybertron, amidst fierce fighting, Bumblebee comments to Jazz that since they've become Pretenders he's noticed a change has overcome Grimlock. This confuses Jazz, since as far as he can tell from watching his comrade mercilessly rip through Decepticons, he's the same old violent, inarticulate Grimlock. But Bumblebee is adamant. You see, ever since their resurrection you could say (and Jazz begs him not to)...
He's come out of his shell!
Unfortunately, Grimlock hears Bumblebee's joke, and is so outraged he turns his fury on them.

Notes
[edit]- As with the rest of the Sunday Times Transformers strips, this story was written by Simon Furman and drawn by Robin Smith in anticipation of a weekly newspaper strip deal that never materialised, though a copy remained in Smith's possession, and was discovered by James Roberts while he was interviewing Smith, who gave Roberts (and IDW Publishing) permission to rummage through his old Transformers works and see if there was anything they might wish to use. The strips were eventually printed in 2022's "Best of the Rarities" collection.
Continuity notes
[edit]- While most of the Sunday Times Transformers strips take place in a continuity-light area, this one fits in during the early pages of "Yesterday's Heroes!".
