I like this comic mainly for the first panel with
Optimus, Hot Rod and Bumblebee running away screaming and the turnaround in
dialogue when Bumblebee first tries to calm Hot Rod down then wants to shoot
him himself two panels later. For those that grew up watching cartoons in the
1980’s, Hot Shot’s “Mega-Shred-Skele-Cobra-MummRa” syndrome was pretty obvious,
but for those who might not be that familiar, it’s just the names of several
supervillains from said cartoons…Megatron (obviously from Transformers,
Shredder (from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), Skeletor (From He-Man), Cobra
(the Evil organization from GI Joe), and Mumm-Ra (from Thundercats). All 1980’s
cartoons aimed at boys were fairly shallow, always featuring a plot in which
the villain would concoct some overblown scheme and the good guys were always
able to thwart it. Naturally the routine would happen in the next cartoon. Poor
villains never get much respect!
