Review: The best comic series to come out of Britain (except for maybe the Doctor Who comics). - I love both the US & the UK Transformers comics. While the US Transformers comic had a great start it then got spotty for a bit until Simon Furman took over. The UK comics however were nothing but awesome straight from the get-go. Even when the format turned into 5 page stories in black and white each issue, it still had some very good stories for the most part, although I wish Furman had made the Earhforce stories a little easier to place in the continuity. It was only towards the very end that it jumped the shark, but even then the last 3 stories weren’t the worst of the series. I have all of the Titan Books collections (except for Legacy of Unicron & Second Generation) & have read them countless times over the years. They always entertain, though I wish they had arranged the stories in a more chronological order. It wasn’t so bad for the color collections, but the black and white volumes were just all over the place but hey, what can you do? I got this collection because it’s the only way to get some of these stories. I paid less than $10 for it with shipping & handling, & it was so good I for one won’t mind double dipping (like I did with the DVDs of the cartoon) if it means a better and more complete collection, especially if they color the black & white strips. Here’s a review of the stories. Man of Iron: I had read this one previously in issues 33 & 34 of the US comic, & it’s still quite good. By the way, if you’re wondering about where this story and the next 2 fit in the continuity, don’t believe what the text says in here. I’m going to quote TFArchive. It’s best to slot this story after issue #40. Enemy Within: This was actually one of the major incentives for me to buy this (along with Crisis of Command). I am a huge Brawn fan. He was the first character I latched onto in the cartoon. This was a wonderful spotlight for him & Starscream. I’m sorry Mr. Furman was hesitant to see this reprinted. True, it’s not his best work but it’s definitely not his worst (That would be the black and white story where after the Time Wars Rodimus Prime & crew find themselves in a future where Galvatron is alive despite having just been killed and the Decepticons rule Cybertron and Rodimus can’t kill him because he’ll kill every other Autobot-I’m sorry but, what were you thinking Simon?!). As for the continuity, I quote TFArchive. This story & the next one best take place between #56 & #57. The only problem is the reference to Windcharger beating the Guardian in #32, but you can easily ignore that line, can’t you? Anyways, the only bad thing about this story is the art. Raiders of the Last Ark: Almost as good as the previous story, though Auntie is the dumbest name for a computer ever. I always pretend it‘s Teletran-1. Decepticon Dam-Busters: A very good adaption of the cartoon episode. Wrath of the Guardian/Wrath of Grimlock: This is where Furman really came into his own. The Dinobots rock in this excellent story. Christmas Breaker: I actually enjoyed this. I didn’t think I would, but it was not bad in the least. Circuit Breaker has always been one of my favorite villains in the comic. Crisis of Command: My other favorite in this collection. This is a fantastic little story, probably the best story in the comic not written by Simon Furman or Bob Budiansky. Then there’s the 1985 Annual, which consists of these stories: Plague of the Insecticons: The weakest of this Annual’s stories. It doesn’t fit either in the comic series or the cartoon, & it’s not very good so why bother? And There Shall Come… A Leader!: By far the best story in the Annual. Missing In Action: I liked it. Hardly the best story, but not bad. While it might be hard to place in the comic, it could easily fit in the cartoon. Hunted: Readable, but not memorable. The Jumpstarters on Earth make it impossible to fit in the continuity, though I suppose this could take place in the cartoon. Another really good collection of Transformers comics. Highly recommended if you like the US Marvel comics. Review: Great collection - I loved this book. The first volume of 5, it reprints the early Marvel UK Transformers stories, with a history of the comic and background and interviews with the creators. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #5,520,396 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #17,471 in Science Fiction Graphic Novels (Books) #18,618 in Media Tie-In Graphic Novels | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 60 Reviews | ## Images ![Transformers Classics UK Volume 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gPtt8-4-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best comic series to come out of Britain (except for maybe the Doctor Who comics). *by P***A on December 6, 2013* I love both the US & the UK Transformers comics.

The first volume of 5, it reprints the early Marvel UK Transformers stories, with a history of the comic and background and interviews with the creators. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great, classic transformers. *by D***R on August 9, 2014* I have read the us transformers before but never the uk ones. I found that the uk stories were far better than any of the us comics I have read so far . My only complaint is that the plot can be hard to follow since it mainly just works around the us stories and heavily references them so its best to read the us stories first. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/23630903-transformers-classics-uk-volume-1](https://www.desertcart.in/products/23630903-transformers-classics-uk-volume-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
