The Transformers #174
The Autobots led by Fortress Maximus meet up with the main body of Autobots led by Grimlock, and Grimlock challenges Fortress Maximus to a death duel for the right to lead the Autobots. Knowing that Fortress Maximus is currently not strong enough, Blaster (who is currently being held prisoner by Grimlock), offers to fight in his place. The two factions land on the Moon and the two begin their duel. However, the Decepticons decide to attack and trash the Ark. Grimlock and Blaster make their peace, but Goldbug escapes with three other Autobots, taking the disk with Optimus Prime's memory.
