&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;The Transformers Universe&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; is a four-issue limited series published by [[Marvel Comics]] in 1986 featuring expanded [[profile]]s for the Transformers that had appeared thus far in the comic and toy lines. The entries were organized alphabetically, with the exception that characters who first appeared in &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers: The Movie]]&#039;&#039; were held until Issue 4. Each character had inked and colored versions of the [[character model]]s and lengthy write-up, divided into three sections: Profile, Abilities, and Weaknesses. A header section gave the character&#039;s name, allegiance, function, and the issue number of their first Marvel Comics appearance, for those who had appeared in the book (which included the bulk of the entries). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Entries for characters from &#039;&#039;The Transformers: The Movie&#039;&#039; differ greatly in style from the rest, sometimes omitting sections entirely. The writing style for these characters suggests that their profiles are actually pre-production notes from very early in the characters&#039; development, before their character models had actually been designed; [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]], for example, is described as a &amp;quot;multi-engine, and perhaps multi-wing&amp;quot; spacecraft, with weapons such as &amp;quot;an incendiary bomb rack&amp;quot; which are clearly not present on his character model.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In [[2015]], all of these profiles, including the ones published separately in later issues, were reprinted together in [[The Transformers Classics, Vol. 8|&#039;&#039;The Transformers Classics,&#039;&#039; Vol. 8]].&lt;br /&gt;

*Perceptor&#039;s third &amp;quot;artillery piece&amp;quot; mode is mentioned but not shown.&lt;br /&gt;
*Sky Lynx&#039;s combined bird-lynx mode is omitted.&lt;br /&gt;
*Tracks&#039; flying car mode is omitted.&lt;br /&gt;
*Like Metroplex, Trypticon&#039;s entry contains no artwork for Brunt and Full-Tilt (or even [[Wipe-Out]]).&lt;br /&gt;
*The &amp;quot;base&amp;quot; modes for the four Scramble City combiner team leaders are neither mentioned nor portrayed.&lt;br /&gt;
*Characters entirely missing include the [[Omnibot (G1)|Omnibots]], the two [[Deluxe Vehicle]]s ([[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]] and [[Whirl (G1)|Whirl]]), the four [[Insecticon (G1)|Deluxe Insecticons]] ([[Barrage (Insecticon)|Barrage]], [[Chop Shop (G1)|Chop Shop]], [[Ransack (G1)|Ransack]] and [[Venom (G1)|Venom]]), [[Reflector (G1)|Reflector]] and... [[Hubcap (G1)|Hubcap]] and [[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]]. This despite Budiansky actually &#039;&#039;writing&#039;&#039; bios for all of these guys with the possible exception of Reflector. Many of them not having character models played a role in this omission.&lt;br /&gt;
**Budiansky&#039;s unused bios went on the [http://boltax.blogspot.com/ &#039;&#039;Disciples of Boltax&#039;&#039; blog] in two posts in [http://boltax.blogspot.com/2010/12/extended-bios.html late 2010] and [http://boltax.blogspot.com/2011/01/extended-bio-whirl.html early 2011], with a third post featuring the Omnibots on the [http://blackrockstoybox.blogspot.com &#039;&#039;Blackrock&#039;s Toybox&#039;&#039; blog] (citing an older Allspark post by &#039;&#039;Disciples of Boltax&#039;&#039; author Jim Sorenson) in a post in [http://blackrockstoybox.blogspot.com/2012/10/transformers-universe-extended-bios.html 2012]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Errors==&lt;br /&gt;
Numerous characters are drawn using outdated [[character model]]s as reference, which use alternate, incorrect design elements, or omit parts of them entirely.&lt;br /&gt;
*Bluestreak is missing his shoulder-mounted missile launchers.&lt;br /&gt;
*The Insecticons and several of the Constructicons have individual eyes instead of the visors their final designs have.&lt;br /&gt;
*The guns in Frenzy and Rumble&#039;s hands are an incorrect design that would be modified to be toy-accurate for their finished models.&lt;br /&gt;
*Huffer has a rounded hood behind his head, instead of a large, square truck cab.&lt;br /&gt;
*Megatron is drawn with the totally differently earlier design seen in the [[Commercial/Generation 1|1984 commercials]] and the first [[The Transformers (issue)|two]] [[Power Play!|issues]] of the comic book, most distinguishable by its differently-shaped head and a handle on his fusion cannon. His pistol mode is mostly colored blue-black.&lt;br /&gt;
*Scourge&#039;s alternate mode has his robot-mode head poking out of its top, its eyes replaced with some kind of scanner reading panel.&lt;br /&gt;
*Sideswipe is missing his shoulder missile launcher.&lt;br /&gt;
*The rocket boosters on Sunstreaker&#039;s shoulders are an entirely different design, angular as opposed to cylindrical.&lt;br /&gt;
*Trailbreaker is missing his radar scanner and shoulder cannon, and has two hands instead of a gun barrel in place of his left.&lt;br /&gt;
*Wheeljack is missing his shoulder fins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Dinobots, Inferno, Omega Supreme, and the new characters from &#039;&#039;The Transformers: The Movie&#039;&#039; are all also drawn to the specifications of outdated models, but (Scourge&#039;s vehicle mode aside) these aren&#039;t really goofs in context, because this is how they were &#039;&#039;always&#039;&#039; drawn in the regular comic book.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other goofs include:&lt;br /&gt;
*Bluestreak&#039;s name is rendered as two words, as &amp;quot;Blue Streak,&amp;quot; which is how the comic book would intermittently spell it.&lt;br /&gt;
*Cassette mode Buzzsaw is colored almost entirely red instead of gold.&lt;br /&gt;
*Cliffjumper&#039;s &amp;quot;Weaknesses&amp;quot; section refers to him suffering &amp;quot;literal blow-outs,&amp;quot; a turn of phrase that originates from the fact he was originally going to be named &amp;quot;Blow-Out,&amp;quot; but which doesn&#039;t make sense with his finalized name.&lt;br /&gt;
*Hot Spot&#039;s name is rendered as &amp;quot;Hotspot&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
*The lower half of Kickback&#039;s face is colored the same blue-black as his body, as if he had a faceplate instead of a standard mouth.&lt;br /&gt;
*Optimus Prime&#039;s vehicle mode is only shown from behind, as Marvel had misplaced the model sheet for the front-view. Roller and the Combat Deck are likewise missing.&lt;br /&gt;
*Ramhorn has a Decepticon symbol on both his rhino mode and his cassette mode.&lt;br /&gt;
*Perceptor&#039;s face gets the same colored-lower-half treatment as Kickback.&lt;br /&gt;
*The faces of Shrapnel, Sideswipe, Skywarp, Snarl and Slag are colored the same blue-black as their heads. Most should be white or light gray.&lt;br /&gt;
*Soundwave is drawn as though he has a mouth. He&#039;s colored purple instead of blue, but this is consistent with his appearance in the Marvel comics. &lt;br /&gt;
*Steeljaw&#039;s entry is placed out of alphabetical order.&lt;br /&gt;
*The Movie characters&#039; write-ups are incomplete. Arblus, Arcee, the Quintessons, and the Sharkticon are missing the &amp;quot;Abilities&amp;quot; section; Blurr, Cyclonus, Galvatron, Kup, Springer, Ultra Magnus, Wheelie and Wreck-Gar have no &amp;quot;Weaknesses&amp;quot; section.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Notes==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Universe01.jpg|thumb|Eject? You&#039;re not even in this magazine. Let&#039;s put you on the cover and on the back. Arcee? Bottom of the back page for you!]]&lt;br /&gt;
*The series was later republished in a single volume although a handful of character profiles, such as [[Eject (G1)|Eject]], [[Rewind (G1)|Rewind]], [[Inferno (G1)|Inferno]], [[Steeljaw (G1)|Steeljaw]], [[Sandstorm (G1)|Sandstorm]], [[Tailgate (G1)|Tailgate]], [[Topspin (G1)|Top Spin]], [[Twin Twist]] and [[Pipes (G1)|Pipes]] were left out (their pictures still appeared on the cover).&lt;br /&gt;
*Although cleaned up by artists [[Ian Akin]] and [[Brian Garvey]], all the character artwork was based upon [[character model]]s for the animated series.&lt;br /&gt;
*Characters such as Cyclonus who had two different character models generally use the earlier version, showcasing the divide between models used for the cartoon and models used for the comic.&lt;br /&gt;
*Issue 4 includes &#039;&#039;The Transformers: The Movie&#039;&#039; characters, including several non-toy characters.&lt;br /&gt;
*The profiles were also used as part of the UK comic&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[Transformers AtoZ]]&#039;&#039; feature. &lt;br /&gt;
*Scans of the series frequently appear on the Internet.&lt;br /&gt;
*Although the title on the cover is &#039;&#039;Transformers Universe,&#039;&#039; the title in the indicia is &#039;&#039;The Transformers Universe.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Dreamwave Productions|Dreamwave]] modeled their &#039;&#039;[[Transformers: More than Meets the Eye|More than Meets the Eye]]&#039;&#039; guide books using the &#039;&#039;Transformers Universe&#039;&#039; format, which include profiles for every toy-based G1 Transformer, including the Micromasters.&lt;br /&gt;
*All four issues of the series, along with the subsequent bios included with later issues of the main &#039;&#039;Transformers&#039;&#039; comic were reprinted in the final volume of IDW&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[The Transformers Classics]]&#039;&#039; series.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Addenda==&lt;br /&gt;
A second series was mentioned in the Marvel Comic&#039;s letter column but it never appeared. Instead starting with issue [[Club Con!|#47]] of the Marvel Comic, new post-1986 character entries under the &#039;&#039;Transformers Universe&#039;&#039; heading began appearing on a semi-regular basis featuring artwork that was based upon the character models used in the US toy commercials. Although this process continued for the rest of the series, ending in issue [[The Last Autobot?|#79]], many 1987 and 1988 characters were ultimately denied a profile of their own.&lt;br /&gt;
