I was a little confused with the message:
a: don't do drugs
b: don't interfere with people doing drugs
C: You can't/shouldn't make a difference anyway.
D: all of the above?
Mostly A, but I wrote the piece as an homage to the old PSA's, and an underlying message was unavoidable. The original PSA's did end on a positive note, but they were supposed to, and this is an IDW/more realistic version of one. Stepper's just trying to do the right thing, but unfortunately it doesn't work out. I guess it's like the old saying "You can lead a horse to water, but can't make it drink".

It's exactly what it says it is: a public service announcement, just like the ones that ran after GI. Joe episodes.
"And knowing is half the battle."
I really liked the first one.
Is Ricochete/Stepper a G1 character? He is not listed in my Transformers offical guidebook "More than meets the eye". [/quote]
Of course Stepper is a G1 character! He came out in Japan at the tail end of Headmasters I believe, and is of course a Targetmaster repaint/remold of Jazz. He was considered a very rare/expensive figure for awhile, along with his release buddy Artfire, which was a repaint of Inferno with a Targetmaster. He was reissued by Takrar with gold chromed versions of Jazz's weapons(the original release Stepper only had a new shoulder mount to hold his targetmaster), but I don't think he sold all that well.
Richochet(Stepper's after the fact American name) is the last Hasbro Commerative series Transformer released. He had black versions of Jazz's weapons, and the elongated missles that comply with U.S. safety standards.
