“Mechanical Difficulties!”

Marvel's The Transformers #28 (1987) promises trouble for Earth's mechanical heroes right on the cover, where multiple Autobots are sent tumbling and crashing by an unseen giant force — while a lone human figure watches helplessly from the ground below. The tagline "The Mechanic Strikes Again… and the Autobots Strike Out!" sets up a story of frustration and adversity, with cover pencils by Ian Akin and inks by Brian Garvey delivering the kinetic chaos with real punch. Bob Budiansky's "Mechanical Difficulties!" looks like exactly the kind of off-beat, human-threat chapter that made this Marvel run so entertaining.
