MP#700-40 - "THE GOLDEN LAGOON"

   Beachcomber discovers a beautiful valley with a lagoon of golden Electrum. He realizes that any robot coated with Electrum would be indestructible, and fears the lagoon and surrounding valley may become the battleground of a war with the Decepticons. Beachcomber decides to tell no one and leaves, but soon the Decepticons find the lagoon, and dive in, making themselves invulnerable. In a skirmish that follows, the Decepticons defeat the Autobots handily, conquering Omega Supreme and capturing Perceptor and Seaspray. In an effort to redeem his mistake, Beachcomber rescues the Autobots. They meet the others at the lagoon, and coat themselves with Electrum. The Decepticons attack, but their powers of invulnerability prove to be only temporary. The now-superior Autobots turn back the Decepticons, but Megatron destroys the Golden Lagoon to assure no more Electrum for either side. Beachcomber is left to witness the charred remains of the once verdant valley.


MP#700-41 - "THE GOD GAMBIT"

   On Titan, Saturn's moon, a confrontation between Jero, high priest, and Talaria, rebel leader, is interrupted when Cosmos--shot down by Astrotrain--crash lands nearby. Jero proclaims Cosmos a sky god, but  power-hungry Astrotrain proclaims himself Chief God and, with the help of the other Decepticon "gods," stockpiles Titan's powerful energy crystals. Secretly, Talaria connects a loose wire on Cosmos and finds herself communicating with Optimus Prime on Earth, who sends Omega Supreme, Perceptor, and Jazz in response. They mount an attempt to rescue Cosmos, but the Decepticons capture Talaira for sacrifice. With Omega's help, Jazz and Perceptor save Talaria, free the oppressed natives from their evil high priest, and expose the Decepticons, who flee Titan. The Titans begin building a new civilization as Cosmos is reactivated and the Autobots head for Earth.


MP#700-42 - "MAKE TRACKS"

   When Tracks is shot down in a dogfight above the city, he is found and repaired by Raoul, a street kid whose original intention was to sell the Corvette to the leaders of a hot car ring. Together, they discover the illegitimate dealers are selling the stolen cars to the Decepticons, who are converting them into generic robots, all armed
with heavy-duty blasters. Soon, hundreds of these robots pour into the city, threatening the Autobots. Raoul realizes the huge computer at the conversion factory controls the robots cars. He and Tracks lead the Autobots to the plant where a battle ensues, and the computer control board is destroyed. The generic robots cease functioning, and the factory is blown sky-high. Later, as Raoul joins Sparkplug and the Autobots in reconverting the hundreds of stolen cars to be returned to their owners, he vows never to steal a car again--it's more trouble than it's worth!
