The Transformers #36
The title "Spacehikers!" sets the tone perfectly for this 1988 Marvel issue, whose cover — penciled by Frank Springer and inked by Ian Akin and Brian Garvey — shows a group of children in orange spacesuits drifting through the cosmos on what appears to be a flat platform, one of them clutching a small stuffed bear. Looming behind them is a menacing Decepticon jet in robot mode, its sharp-toothed face leering downward, while a pair of Autobots armed and battle-ready fill the left side of the cover. It's a genuinely tense image that pits human vulnerability against the enormous scale of the Transformers' war.

Grimlock orders the ark to attack the shuttle transporting Blaster and the four kids. Grimlock captures the Shuttle, but one of the kids threw Blaster out beforehand to save him. Grimlock orders that the four kids literally walk the plank into open space. Meanwhile, Wheeljack had summoned his old friend Sky Lynx from Cybertron to help them, and he successfully picks up the four kids. Grimlock and his other four Dinobots exit the Ark to go after Sky Lynx, but Blaster gives himself up to save Sky Lynx and the kids.
