Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: The Comics is a graphic novel released in 2002 by Million Publishing. Transformers: The Comics effectively collects every issue of the original Generation 1 Transformers manga published in the pages of TV Magazine.
All stories were written by Masumi Kaneda with all artwork provided by Ban Magami.
An official three-volume English translation was released by Viz Media in 2020 under the title Transformers: The Manga.
Contents
[edit]Comics
[edit]- Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (prologue and 8 issues)
- The Story of Super Robot Lifeforms: The Transformers (5 issues)
- The Great Transformer War (3 issues)
- "The Decisive Battle of Planet Beast!" (special)
- The Headmasters (8 issues)
- Super-God Masterforce (12 issues)
- Victory (10 issues)
- Zone (special)
- The Battlestars (special)
Bonus material
[edit]- Gallery of select original episode-themed artwork by Ban Magami spanning all Generation 1 series.
- Two pieces of guest artwork.
- 6 page interview with Ban Magami.
Alterations
[edit]Some issues were modified in order to fit this condensed, black and white collection.
- The Super Robot Lifeform prologue was originally published in color, but rendered in black and white for this publication.
- The Zone special is oddly printed backward, with the last page first and the first page last.
- The Battlestars special is perhaps the most perplexing, with each original page reduced in size, rotated clockwise onto their side and stacked two per page. A quality-disrupting space-saving measure, to be sure.
Contest
[edit]
- To help promote the book, a contest was held in conjunction with its release. Someone who purchased a copy of the book could mail in a black slip that was wrapped around its cover, earning them a chance to win a black version of the original Tracks toy (called, creatively enough, "Black Tracks"). 300 Black Tracks toys were awarded through this competition.
