Synopsis
Grimlock has decided that Soundwave has been in charge of the Transformers letters page far too long and it's time a Dinobot took charge. He smashes into the Marvel Comics building, being mistaken for a rat by a drunken homeless guy. Inside the receptionist directs him to Soundwave's room as Grimlock wonders what to call the letters page -  ' lock's Letters or Grim Grams? He reaches the door and smashes it open, but is horrified by what he sees. Meanwhile a blond boy carries Soundwave's tape player mode out of the building, en route to America. Soundwave cannot help sniggering. For Grimlock has been buried by an avalanche of unopened mail!

Errors

 * Grimlock's head is green on the third panel and his neck white on the seventh.
 * Soundwave's tape player mode has grown in size and is now as large as a ghetto blaster.

Items of note

 * This one-page special strip was written to explain the changeover in letters page answerer. Simon Furman scripted it but the only credit on the strip itself is to Lew Stringer.
