Synopsis for "High Noon Tex"
_from_Transformers_(UK)_Vol_1_167_001.jpg){kind=link}
Working as a freelance peacekeeping agent on Scarvix, Death's Head was hired to kill a farmer, destroy his livelihood, and burn all his possessions. His brother, Tex, apparently took it personally. When Tex came looking for Death's Head at his office, the mechanoid had rigged a dummy with a copious amount of explosives. After blowing Tex to kingdom come, Death's Head walked away shaking his head, thinking on how some people had no sense of humor.

Notes
- The second story is the earliest appearance of High Noon Tex confirmed on Marvel Database. It was printed to promote Dragon's Claws #1 released around the same time. On this occasion, much of the "Transformation" page was given to the discussion of Death's Head impending return and the new title, which was still referred to as "Dragon's Teeth" (the name had to be changed last minute due to a copyright dispute).
- The story that is now commonly known as "High Noon Tex" is named "Death's Head" in Contents. It is described as [Death's Head's] "debut solo adventure" in "Transformation".
- About six months after[1] Simon Furman started developing a "bounty hunter" character for Transformers (UK) #113 (May 1987) published by Marvel UK under the license from Hasbro, he decided to create a story for the character independent of the Transformers brand to avoid claims of ownership by Hasbro. The one page comic "High Noon Tex" was thus created and later published in various Marvel UK magazines.[2] In particular, this strip was printed in Transformers (UK) #167 (May 1988) and Dragon's Claws #3 (September 1988).
- This story was reprinted in Incomplete Death's Head #1.
- The names Scarvix of the planet and Lang Building of the building where Death's Head had an office were given in Death's Head #1.
- Indicia explicitly establish Marvel Comics Ltd.'s copyright for Death's Head.
