“Showdown!”

In "Showdown!", the Autobots face a tense standoff when Donny Finkelberg escapes from Decepticon custody, prompting Ravage to track him down. Meanwhile, Skids forms an unexpected bond with a human girl named Charlene, even transforming into her vehicle — but their quiet moment is shattered when Ravage catches up, leading to a high-stakes confrontation that tests Skids' courage and quick thinking. Written by Bob Budiansky and illustrated by Herb Trimpe, with inks by Ian Akin and Brian Garvey, and colors by Nel Yomtov, this 1986 Marvel Transformers issue delivers a gripping blend of action and heart, all wrapped in a cover by Herb Trimpe.
