Editing Transformers AtoZ

'''Transformers A-Z''' is a series of [[profile]]s that were published in the ''[[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|The Transformers]]'' UK comics by [[Marvel Comics]] between [[1987]] and [[1989]]. The first seven Transformers A-Z profiles, dealing with the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmasters]], are little more than the characters' toy bios made prettier. Unlike the later A-Z profiles, the first did not contain information on the characters' first appearances in the comics or their weaknesses, but it did include their chest read-outs. 

The rest of the A-Z profile are divided into two groups: the ones that were published in the [[Transformers Annual]]s and the ones that were published in the regular issues. The latter group consisted of profiles for the 1984-1986 characters, which were slightly edited versions of the ones Marvel US published in their ''[[Transformers Universe (Marvel comic)|Transformers Universe]]'' series in 1986. The most significant details changed were the first appearance entries, which was adjusted from US issue numbers to UK issue numbers, and the decision to designate the characteristic quotes as mottos (despite not being meant as such).

The Transformers Annuals A-Z profiles were based on the second ''Transformers Universe'' series that started in 1988 and dealt with the 1987-1988 characters. They have the same format as the regular issue A-Z profile, but use [[package art]] as profile image rather than ''Transformers Universe'' art. 

In addition to Transformers A-Z, Marvel UK also published a handful of exclusive profiles written specifically for the Marvel UK continuity.
