Transformers — Transforming Robots in Action: New York — A City Sinking in Terror

We meet Commander McCullough and Lieutenant Potter of "Intercontinental Air Control", who spend a lot of time being clueless about unidentified flying objects and deny the existence of alien robots.

Meanwhile, two groups of alien robots—Autobot and Decepticon Micromasters, respectively—arrive on earth and somehow, Autobots and Decepticons get into a huge battle for New York. Amongst the highlights of this battle are a King Con scaling the Empire State Building and Vroom pointing out the obvious while ending every sentence in an exclamation mark.

Said battle ends when Optimus Prime rents a helicopter to fly a banner announcing huge raw oil deposit finds in the Rocky Mountains. After short hesitation, the Decepticons retreat to pursue these findings, coincidentally exactly where the secret base of "International Air Control" is hidden.

Reprints

Notes

  • The reprint of Prey! has the title "Optimus Prime - The End of the Legend?"
  • The cover price increases to 3.50 DM with this issue
  • This issue features the debut of 'Team News' on the back cover, which gives news on Transformers products to buy. Most notable is the rather nice, clean line art of various characters' box art.
  • The winners' names and addresses to the previous issues' competitions are all published on one page. Ah, a more innocent time...
  • The text story features the image of the cover to "King Con!" Consequently, "King Con" is treated as the name of a character.
  • Also debuting: Pretender Funback.

Errors

  • The cover bears an actual resemblance to the contents of the comic.
