Simon Furman takes a holiday and future best-selling author Dan Abnett takes over for two weeks, the first of which hardly hints at best selling tendencies. It's Autobots Vs. Kremzeek... Err... the Firebug as wacky hi-jinks ensue. You'll definately need a Tango after reading my look at: Firebug! Plus, the obligatory plug for the QUIZ.

I am not very familiar with Dan Abnett, beyond this issue and the next, a few Real Ghostbusters comics and the excruciatingly bad Heart Of Darkness mini series. ( I only have half of that and it's still awful. )

I enjoyed the can of Tango! And it was orange so a bit like what the Firebug looked like. A PERECT TIE-IN.

Also, a can of Tango cost nearly as much as the comic, so if you drunk Tango anyway (and who didn't then?) then you were getting that weeks issue for almost nothing! Great free gift and much better than the Action Force Sticker Album. If only they'd carried on with free tomato Snaps and free Trio then I could have got my mum to include Transformers in the weekly shopping and had extra pocket money!

Fun fact: This was one of the two UK stories (the other being Cold Comfort and Joy) published in the Finnish edition of the Marvel comic.

I rather like this issue,its a nice bit of fluff and one of Abnett's better TF efforts.

I don't recall absorbing the Galvatron info at the time, I just remember thinking this was one of those dud filler kind of stories. As a kid I had a soft spot for Inferno as he was one of my first Transformers, my mum brought him back for me after she had been away somewhere for a few days (leaving me with my scary aunt). Anyway, a dud story, but little did I know there would soon be black and white strips galore churning out this sort of stuff! Did Bob just run out of time to write Inferno and chums into the US stories a few years back, leaving Marvel UK free to place them in "the future"? Shoud they really have been introduced by Bob around the time Hoist and Grapple and co. showed up? Seems strange that Hasbro didn't want them featured. I know Inferno and Broadside crop up in the background of the present day big moon battle. Probably just Jose using up every character model he could get his hands on?

I'm not sure why Bob ignored Inferno & Red Alert, unless someone pointed out the UK had already featured them in the regular comic but I didn't think it had that kind of clout so early.
