- written by Simon Furman
- art by Staz
- black-and-white

- this story was referenced in Transformers Vol. 1 #65 (the only time a U.S. story explicitly acknowledged the events of a U.K. story)
“The Interplanetary Wrestling Championship!, Part 1″
- reprints the first fourth of Transformers Vol. 1 #55
