'''Transformers: The Definitive G1 Collection''' is a fortnightly eighty-volume partwork from [[Hachette]], edited by [[Simon Furman]]. Partworks are a Hachette specialty: a series will be collected out of order (the first ''Definitive'' was Volume 6) for commercial purposes but can be collected on your shelf in order with a fancy picture on the collective spines.
The plan is to republish ''all'' Generation 1 comics (as of 2016) and all of the original [[Marvel Comics]] run, UK and US, as one run again. Wow! That's great, right?
Only if you live in the [[United Kingdom]] and [[Ireland]], suckers!
However as of August 2017, the subscription also became available in Australia.[http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?s=438cea1ad48786466241053a45f743ae&t=24685]
Each issue has a special cover and bonus content, and older strips will have recoloured artwork. [[Transformers_(Titan_Magazine)#Fantastic_Free_Gift.21|Fantastic FREE! Gifts]] are provided for subscribers, to make you buy all of them; the fourth delivery for subscribers would have [[Autobrand]] and Deceptibrand bookends to hold your collection.
This was given a trial-run in parts of the UK before a national release started in early 2017. The first volume was a collection of ''[[Target 2006]]'', coincidentally out on newsagents thirty years after the story originally ran!<ref>[http://thesolarpool.weebly.com/transformers-uk227.html Solar Pool]: "The Target: 2006 book is already out... if it doesn’t [finish], Target: 2006 was back on at least some newsagents shelves towards the end of its 30th anniversary week. How cool is that?"</ref> The extra features included character profiles and The Middle Years that ran in the original issues.
US reprints are taken from IDW's ''Transformers Classic'' 'remasters', complete with desperate attempts to 'fix' errors. Instead of running the black and white UK strips in their original form, [[John-Paul Bove]] has coloured them with emulations of both 1980s American and latter-day Marvel UK colouring techniques.<ref>"A Different Approach to Colour", Vol.16</ref>

==Notes==
* When the website launched, it accidentally credited [[Andrew Wildman|Andrew ''Wlid''man]].
* Copies of the first issue (volume 6 - this ''will'' get confusing in the long run) provided to general retail and initial subscribers have an error on the spine, with the black volume number box at the top being the wrong size. Subscribers received free corrected copies. Everyone who bought it at a newsagent has to wait for a replacement copy to be included with issue 7 (which is not volume 7, if you see). Hachette were seen giving away error-stricken copies for free at a signing event at a London comic shop.<ref>[http://forums.millarworld.tv/t/the-trades-thread-hardcovers-graphic-novels-and-more/4923/2359]</ref>
* This error shouldn't be confused with the change in spine art for the first four issues made between the limited trial run and the mass release<ref>[http://www.facebook.com/TransformersG1Collection/posts/1533415153338562?comment_id=1533436356669775&reply_comment_id=1533593929987351]</ref>, which means that anyone who subscribed to the series from its trial will end up with three different copies of issue 1.
*When the series was originally mapped out, it's apparent that Hachette believed they were going to be the first company to finally be able to reprint latter-day Dreamwave material, like the [[Transformers: Generation 1 (Dreamwave)|Sunstorm arc]] and [[Transformers: Micromasters|''Micromasters'']], in volumes 27 and 28. That evidently didn't pan out (presumably for the longstanding reason these stories have never been reprinted; that is, nobody's quite sure if the creators ''got paid'' for them), because the two volumes would wind up containing issues from the [[Transformers: Armada (Dreamwave)|Dreamwave ''Armada'' comic]] that merely guest-starred G1 characters—comics that it's ''very'' hard to believe anyone would have considered worthy of inclusion in a "Definitive G1 Collection" at the planning stage.
