“The Samurai Destroyer”

In "The Samurai Destroyer," William McLaughlin, once a member of the Followers of the Light, emerges from the ruins of their sanctuary with a purpose: to complete a massive robot and claim its power for himself. With the help of a mysterious gold heist, he hunts down and destroys the other three Sanctuary robots, only to be confronted by the FF and the pilots they once served—now seeking justice. Written by Doug Moench and illustrated by Bill Sienkiewicz, this 1981 issue delivers a high-stakes clash of legacy and vengeance, with Sienkiewicz’s dynamic art and Bob McLeod’s cover capturing the intensity of a robot war on the move.

William McLaughlin finds the ruins of the Followers of the Light Sanctuary and a giant robot that was under construction. He finishes building it and then tracks down the other three Sanctuary robots and destroys them in their respective hiding places. He then robs to acquire gold and money he hopes will grant him a rich retirement. The pilots of the destroyed robots (Ilongo, Richard and Genji) ask the FF for help. They confront the giant robot in Tokyo and knock it out of commission. William presses the self destruct button and blows the robot up, just as he's captured by the three pilots.
