Optimus Prime Is Back
"Optimus Prime Is Back" is a British mail-order flyer included with Generation 1 toys, offering various Targetmasters and Headmasters. A small amount of story content helped sell the characters.
Synopsis
Optimus Prime is still alive, but his memory is so severely injured that he cannot tell the difference between Autobot and Decepticon. Wandering off one night, Optimus Prime finds himself trapped on Cybertron's Hemisphere of Darkness. Stuck, he somehow communicates his position, a signal intercepted by both Autobots and Decepticons.
In response, the Autobots create a rescue party of Chromedome, Hot Rod, and Sureshot, named H.O.P.E. (Help Optimus Prime Escape). The Decepticons create an opposing team of Triggerhappy and Mindwipe, named S.T.O.P. (Seek and Terminate Optimus Prime).
With his memory impairment, Optimus will believe the first party that reaches him is his friends.
