 What’s up, dudes? There’s more than meets the eye today! I’ve got Gaz and Dange from the Insanely Dangerous Retro Podshow here to talk all things Transformers! The toys! The traumatic movie deaths! The Marvel UK comics!! It's a Transformers Christmas bonanza, and we get into all of it!
 
In the 1985 "Christmas Breaker" story from issue #41, Optimus Prime, dressed like Santa, throws a Christmas celebration for Buster Witwicky. Afterwards, while delivering presents, Jazz and Buster get into an accident. The cyborg Circuit Breaker attacks Jazz, thinking he hurt Buster. Buster pleads for mercy, and as nearby church bells chime for Christmas Day, she grants it. Jazz then begins to understand Christmas Spirit and its effect on humans.

In issue #93's "The Gift," Buster is spending Christmas studying when Jetfire interrupts him. Jetfire is confused over his disparate actions in two separate Decepticon encounters. He didn't react as confidently when his fellow Autobots were endangered as he did when humans were imperiled. Buster assures Jetfire of Optimus's trust, and that he should be proud to be created on Earth. The words of encouragement are his Christmas gift.

Autobots? Check. Decepticons? Got 'em. Vengeful cyborg lady unique to the comics continuity? You bet! So grab your energon cubes and hot cocoa and roll out to this episode on Transformers Christmas!
