Grimlock takes The
Ark out into space in search of
Blaster and his young human friends, who are cruising around the
orbit in the disabled
Decepticon Blast Off. When the Ark caches them, the kids throw Blaster out into the space in attempt to save him from the
death sentence. The furious Grimlock also hands out the same sentence to the children (and their
teddy bear), but
Wheeljack secretly dispatches help. It arrives in the form of
Sky Lynx, an
Autobot fresh from
Cybertron.
"Grimlock has clouded our optical modules. We've lost sight of our true purpose for being here: to defeat the Decepticons and protect those who are most vunerable to - and least deserving of - their tyranny. Humans. Until we accomplish that, we can't shut our engines off even for a microsecond!" - Blaster
Notes:
- The artists have made a mistake on page 7. When Blaster is thrown out of Blast Off, the picture shows him ejecting from inside of Sky Lynx instead.
- Watch for a "cameo" of Sledge Hammer! himself. :)
