Mail call: MPG-20 Style Gen Hot Rod This toy is a joy to transform, maybe even more than Style Gen Prime. Toon/Toy accuracy be dammed, if you love Transformers, this is peak. Get it! I feel the need to call out @drivaaar.bsky.social and @hobbydrifter.bsky.social for some reason.

My contribution to an old fancomic; Chapter 4 of "Fire And Iron". Set in early IDW, specifically after Optimus is dropped off on Earth at the end of 'Infiltration', starring his ship's crew. Written by @adtcomics.bsky.social. Read the Alt txt for my attempts to contextualise.

PREVIOUSLY: After dropping off Optimus with Prowl's infiltration unit, his chauffeurs Crosshairs, Backstreet, and Dogfight follow a Cybertronian S.O.S. to England, only to discover escape pods in a cave, open, and the Firecons unleashed! Attempting to avoid incineration, Backstreet dives into a pod and Sparkstalker and Cindersaur give it their full fury.
NOW: The escape pod has melted and buckled and fused with Backstreet as the pair of Firecons gloat before deciding to go help Flamefeather with the other Autobots.

At the mouth of the cave, Flamefeather hits the floor unconscious. Dogfight and Crosshairs are battered but victorious, and issue a warning to Sparkstalker and Cindersaur to surrender or face a worse fate. Cindersaur steps aside and reveals what they did to Backstreet, goading the Autobots into rash action. However, as the Autobots rush in, the fire in the Firecon's mouths abruptly extinguishes and the pair freeze. The two Autobots realise that, luckily, the Firecons had burned through their entire remaining fuel reserves.

At that moment Prowl and Ratchet arrive, having earlier heard Crosshair's call for backup. They rush evac, loading the Backstreet pod and Firecons onto their ship while Prowl destroys the two remaining pods to prevent local human life discovering their technology.
Later, mysterious agents in containment suits search the cave for leftovers, with one of them making an overlooked discovery.

The response to the latest AtoZ special has been amazing — thank you! This edition covers toy/comic characters from 1989 and those from The Movie who never had profiles. I do have some copies left, so join The TFUK Guide Patreon’s Soundwaves tier to get one!

Maybe I've told this before... November 1984, my grandparents took me to Toys R Us. The G1 cartoon had been on a couple months and I wouldn't shut up about Optimus Prime. We walked by the Transformers aisle and Grandma asked me to point out which one he was. She then took me to look at He-Man toys
