In fact, this article is mostly a direct translation of the original announcement of the Marvel ''Transformers'' comic book that was originally published in ''Marvel Age'' #17, although for inexplicable reasons, the translated article is credited to a "Michael Landmann" (which is actually a pseudonym for Michael Nagula, who worked as Condor's primary translator ~~for~~ Marvel ~~Comics~~ from 1989 through 1996, and who would occasionally use that pseudonym for nonfiction articles published in Condor's Marvel publications) instead of the original author of the ''Marvel Age'' article, [[Dwight Jon Zimmerman]].

	A few sentences are cut for space; for example, all references to the creative team beyond [[Jim Shooter]] and [[Denny O'Neil]] are dropped. Furthermore, some sections are rearranged for dramatic effect; notably, the "The saga of the Transformers begins billions of years ago…" portion that begins halfway through the original article is used as a teaser at the beginning of the German article. And of course, the translation still uses the early working names "Blow-Out" and "Spin-Out" for [[Cliffjumper (G1)\|Cliffjumper]] and [[Sunstreaker (G1)\|Sunstreaker]], respectively, because how should Condor have known otherwise?
