Next in my list is another one of the Spider-Man minicomics that were slapped on the Peter Pan peanut butter lids but I only own one and the rest I couldn’t find. So let’s go to the next minicomic series on our list and check in with the Starriors.
For those of you late to the party, Starriors was a toyline by Tomy that tried to do the Transformers thing with two factions of robots at war without the actual transforming. On this planet Man was forced to go underground, leaving the post disaster world to two groups of robots. The Protectors were supposed to rebuild while the Destructors were supposed to clean out the potential giant mutations. Slaughter Steelgrave, a name that makes me question what their creators were thinking, decided the Starriors alone should inherit the planet and tricks his fellow Destructors into stopping the Protectors from uncovering proof of Man’s continued existence and waking them up.
This is our third trip to this alternate future, thanks again to the website Virtualnaut scanning all six comics and making it available for everybody. So let’s see what our robot pals are up to this time.
