The Transformers #141

While the Protectobots are transporting their prisoner Blaster back to the Ark, they are ambushed by the Combaticons. The Combaticons merge into the giant Bruticus, whilst the Protectobots merge into the giant Defensor. As the battle rages, Blaster tricks Bruticus with the help of four kids, and manages to put him down. As thanks, Blaster gives the kids a trip into space in Blast Off's space shuttle mode, but they are suddenly attacked by the Autobot's now-functioning Ark ship.
