Information

When is it?

This story, and the previous eight UK stories (113-20), take place between the US issues 27 and 28. Continuity scmontinuity Well, the American west coast is doomed! It looked pretty muck like there was no hope for Ultra Magnus last issue. But, he lives.
 
Please welcome... With only three characters in this story, there are no new appearances. Bloopers None that I can see. Musings of a Transformer comic reading disciple So, Ultra Magnus lives. But it doesn't look good for him, what with having to destroy Galvatron 'n' all. Is suicide the only option here? Well, without a gun, and probably unable to beat him to death, it seems so.

As for Ultra Magnus' charcter in this story, he's starting to go a bit loopy. He's scared of Galvatron, but luckily isn't reduced to a pathetic crying baby. No, that doesn't happen until the mid-hundreds.

Goldbug, on the other hand, is a brave little soldier. Not exactly reknowned as being the scariest of Autobots as Bumblebee, it's nice to see him take a stand. But, like in most of his major appearances, he gets shot within an inch of his life. And manages to make it out alive. If he knew the hardships that followed him, I reckon he'd have shosen to stay at the volcano.
