'''Transformers Annuals''' are hardback books released in the [[United Kingdom]], typically during the run-up to [[Christmas]] the year before the date on the cover. Traditionally, Annuals in the UK contain a mixture of comics, text stories, profiles, puzzles and games, but the balance between these had varied strongly over the decades. The [[Marvel Comics]] Annuals of the G1 era contained stories which are regarded as part of the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)#Marvel UK|Marvel UK comic]] canon, as well as unique [[Transformers_AtoZ|A-Z profiles]] of characters in the context of the UK continuity (such as [[Earthforce]]).

The two Annuals produced during the [[Unicron Trilogy]] period are almost entirely reprints of the contemporary [[Dreamwave_Productions|Dreamwave]] comics, with no introductory or background material. In the [[Live-action_film_series|live-action movie]] era, the balance has swung the other way, with the Annuals filled with games and puzzles, interspersed with a text story such as a movie adaptation.

While some annuals, notably those concerning [[Wikipedia:Rupert Bear|Rupert Bear]], are so rare as to fetch thousands of pounds, Transformers Annuals have so far failed to attain that sort of value. Indeed, while they typically retail for £6.99 - £7.99 before Christmas, after the holidays they can often be picked up for under £1.

K1darkknight: replaced british slang "quid" with "£1" to eliminate uncertainty of non-british users.
