Macdonald Purnell put out a series of Transformers coloring and activity books in the UK in 1986.
They lacked individual titles, and most had no story, though some included short comics.

Content: Black & white battle scenes. Some of them based loosely around an Autobot assault on a Decepticon mountain foretress, others not.
Trivia: Beachcomber, who appears on the cover, does not appear inside.
Colouring Book (Optimus Prime)
ISBN 0-361-07162-0
Content: Black & white illustrations of Transformers based on their box art.
