[edit]Notes
[edit]- This volume covers some of the UK tales from issue #215 to #286.
- The stories in these TPBs are placed into themes rather than being a chronological collection of the UK tales as they were published. The page count inevitably means some of the TPB collections are more coherent than others.
- Some of these stories sit well within the wider Marvel continuity like "Two Megatrons" which was written specifically to iron out continuity wrinkles between Marvel UK and Marvel US. The rest are from the Earthforce continuity.
- There are no changes from the original prints so the teaser at the end of one story/arc usually doesn't relate to the next story in the book. For instance, the "Race with the Devil" arc ends with 'Next: Survivors', only to be followed by "Fallen Star!".
- The small size of the books (7½ by 5 inches - less than half the original A4 format) means that some of the fine detail is lost.
