Transformers (fictional comic)

Humans react in a lot of different ways when Transformers invade their world. Usually this involves setting up a top secret organization to combat the invaders, or working with the Autobots to combat the Decepticon threat, but sometimes they also start writing, illustrating, printing and distributing Transformers comics based on the adventures of the invading giant robots from space. Go figure.

Fiction

EarthSpark cartoon

After the creation of Twitch and Thrash, Robby and Mo Malto sneaked them back to the barn and gave them copies of the Transformers comic stored there to read so they could learn how to be Transformers. This did not turn out to be as effective as the kids had hoped. Secret Legacy, Part 1 When Arcee showed up on the Malto farm, Mo recognized her from the Transformers comic, pulling out an issue to compare the picture. Decoy Jawbreaker consulted the comics while trying to select an alternate mode, but was left none the wiser. Outtakes

Robby missed out on collecting an issue of the Transformers comic due to being busy saving the world, and with the previous issue ending on a cliffhanger too. Mo had the idea of going into the Chaos Dome, erected over a portion of Witwicky, and retrieving the issue from a comic store there. The mission did not go off without a hitch, as Shockwave managed to snatch the issue off her and held it hostage to try to force her to release the Decepticons from the dome, until Bumblebee beat Breakdown at a race. The Need for Read On meeting Prowl, Robby noted that he preferred the Autobot's personality in the comics. No Soldier Left Behind

Notes

• As the Marvel UK The Transformers comic letter page featured Transformers such as Soundwave and Grimlock answering letters, that means the real world comic also existed as an identical fictional version. Presumably.
• If so, that would equally apply to the Panini Armada and Titan movie and Animated comics.
