Although Grimlock says he doesn't intend to kill the children, he doesn't seem to do anything that would prevent them from getting killed, should his suspicion that Blaster will come to save them prove wrong.: after Blaster transforms into robot mode, his pose is copied from issue #27 (redrawn but still very similar.) No problem there, except in the original art he was running on solid ground here he's floating in space! Also, Blast Off - already aboard the Ark - is shown in the background behind him presumably this should have been Sky Lynx.(It's apparently pretty easy to get all those transforming space shuttles confused.) : Blaster emerges from Sky Lynx's airlock, not Blast Off's.: Jed's exposition about how Blaster controls Blast Off due to Allan putting the mode lock on him is in a Transformer style word balloon.: Some of the kids' dialog from last issue is omitted, presumably for brevity.The concluding panel, with the kids gathered to look out the window, is redrawn with the kids in different places.Here, they get a whole page's worth of free-fall shenanigans before discovering the Ark's pursuit. The events are portrayed differently, however last issue, the kids went pretty much directly from unbuckling their safety belts to noticing the Ark following them. Pages 4-6 retread the end of last issue, with the kids and Blaster riding in Blast Off.: Earth is colored purple as Sky Lynx approaches it.: In a flashback, Breakdown is seen shooting at Sky Lynx on Cybertron, even though Breakdown was just recently created on Earth.Blast Off is missing his Decepticon symbols throughout the issue.His combined dino-bird form is drawn with only its front legs extended.It's especially prominent in the opening splash page. The main body of Sky Lynx's shuttle component is consistently drawn without any of its detailing - panel lines, passenger windows, and Autobot symbols.Also, at this point in UK continuity Skids should be in limbo rather than on the Ark. Gears and Sideswipe also appear, having been not seen (and presumed deactivated) since the battle in #12 (although both were active in the UK). Neither of them appeared elsewhere in the US Generation 1 comic, and in the UK comic both were established as members of the Wreckers operating from Cybertron and thus could not have been part of the Ark's crew. Amongst the Autobots seen aboard the Ark are several one panel cameos by characters not previously seen in the US comic including Twin Twist and Sandstorm.Sky Lynx welcomes his passengers aboard I have better taste than to dine on humans." (Characters in italic text appear only in flashbacks.) ![]() However, when the Dinobots surround Sky Lynx, Blaster surrenders to the Dinobots in order to ensure the children's safety. ![]() Meanwhile, Blaster successfully makes it inside the Ark, where the other Autobots practically beg him to take command of the Autobots from Grimlock. When Sky Lynx enters a meteor shower too dangerous for the Ark to navigate safely, Grimlock leads the Dinobots outside to pursue the rogue Autobot. This is a ploy to bring Blaster out into the open, but as the children are made to "walk the plank" into deep space, Sky Lynx rescues them instead. Grimlock holds a trial, accusing the children of aiding a traitor, and sentences them to execution. With Blast Off safely incarcerated on board the Ark, the children are discovered, and Wheeljack sees to their needs. ![]() ![]() To save the kids, Blaster orders Blast Off to stop and be picked up by the Ark, but one of the children tosses Blaster out an airlock to ensure that Blaster is not captured. When Blaster is located giving four Earth children a joy ride in the incapacitated form of Blast Off, the Ark immediately opens fire. Sky Lynx arrives in the Solar System, answering a plea from old friend Wheeljack for help in overthrowing the current Autobot leader Grimlock, obsessed with locating and imprisoning Blaster, to the exclusion of fighting the Decepticons.
