Brilliant

A brightly coloured retro treasure trove, that is chock full of comic delights. Far more than just being extensive toy adverts, these were brilliant tales of action and daring do.

Solidly entertaining sci-fi comics if you grew up on this stuff.

[I.D. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another solid entry in the series this one dealing with hot rod, galvatron, headmasters etc. So much better than the us comics.

Deaths Head and Transformers yesss

This is the point for me where my interest in Transformers started to end, the focus on the next generation of bots. The original transformers are still there but get less and less air time in order to push the newer toy lines.
The highlight of this collection is Deaths Head, marvels robot bounty Hunter, er freelance peacekeeping agent.

good fun

There were some excellent stories in this volume . Had a great time reading them. The new characters were fine even though nothing really compares to Optimus Prime. The writing continued to be very good even if the art was sketchy in places (pun intended!)
