The Who's Who was a feature in the Marvel UK comics that kept readers up to date with the current status of their favourite Transformers characters. Three editions of Who's Who were produced: one for the Decepticons in issue #48, a two-parter for the Autobots in issues #53-54 and one for the humans in issue #59. The Autobot Who's Who and the Decepticon Who's Who were subsequently reprinted in the Transformers Annual 1987.
They are in line with the then-current UK continuity where, for example, many of the Autobot characters that were deactivated during "Prime Time!" in the US comics were still active, and the human edition includes UK-only characters. Despite calls for its return on the letters page, the idea was never revisited, probably because the rapidly-growing Transformers cast rendered it impractical.
