Transformers in Action: In Memory of Earth

After the nuclear disaster in Kalis, a member of the Autobot cleanup crew finds a video tape. He is unable to do anything with it until he returns to Autobase. There it is discovered that the tape comes from Earth. Using technical drawings stored in the central computer, an Autobot is converted to be able to transform into a video recorder. Inferno encourages his fellow Autobots to watch the tape closely to learn from it, so that the disaster in Kalis is not repeated.

We are then treated to a word-for-word reprinting of The Troy Principle.

After the tape has finished, Inferno claims that Megatron's planetary warp engines were a Trojan Horse too, and that the Autobots must continue to be vigilant for more Trojan horses. (source)

Articles and features

  • A boardgame that features the Ark being attacked by three multicolored Trypticons.
  • Four whole pages of puzzles presented by a selection of bafflingly colored Transformers, from a pink Gears to a green Optimus Prime.
  • Character profiles for Ironhide and Inferno (though the layout seems to have swapped around the images for the two).


Reprints

Notes

  • The comic is titled "The Legion of the Lost"
  • The text story is set directly after the events of City of Fear!.
  • The bulk of the text story is a reprint of issue 4's story, showing that writer Robert Mann has no shame at all.
  • Robert Mann also seems to not understand the concept of a Trojan Horse, since Flame's use of Megatron's planetary engines bears no relation to that situation at all.



Errors

  • After a long absence, Horsehead returns! This is due to the text story being mostly a reprinting of a previous adventure.


Advertisements

  • A one-page advertisement for Skyquake
