Transformers #9/1988

In "Förbrukade Autoboter," the Throttlebots and Blaster take refuge in a rundown car lot after being ambushed by Vortex, their fuel dwindling. When the lot’s owner uncovers their true identities, he sabotages their fuel with sugar and calls in the police, summoning a RAAT team. As the Combaticons arrive to finish them off, a Protectobots squad sent by Grimlock arrives to retrieve them, sparking a chaotic clash. Amid the confusion, the RAAT team seizes the incapacitated Throttlebots and drives off with them—leaving Blaster to face a new threat and a startling arrest.

In "Bus-streck," the Protectobots are on a high-stakes mission to return their prisoner, Blaster, to the Ark when they're ambushed by the Combaticons. Forced into a desperate showdown, the two sides merge into colossal forms—Defensor versus Bruticus—while Blaster secretly schemes with four young allies to turn the tide. As the battle reaches its peak, the kids earn a thrilling reward: a ride in Blast Off's space shuttle mode. But their journey takes a sudden, dangerous turn when the Autobot Ark, now active, suddenly attacks.
