This strip originally appeared in T-25: A Celebration. A magazine edited and assembled by myself, Ralph Burns and Karl Thurgood which was available at Auto Assembly 2009.
Taking a look over the last 25 years of Transformers history, this was part of the 1990 feature which was dominated by the sheer joy that is Action Masters!
There are some copies still available here
I love the “Operation Hand in front of face” line!!
Cheers! Cartoon Soundwave dialogue is a rich comedy source!
