Revision as of 14:03, 12 November 2018
You are the editor of Marvel UK's brand new Transformers comic. You need to run the US issues in smaller chunks, in order to keep a fortnightly (later weekly) frequency without running out of stuff. But... what are you going to run in the rest of the comic? Features alone won't grab the kiddies! You need more strip! You need...
Back-up strips!
Marvel UK back-up strips
A great way of padding out the comic while not taking the mick, back-up strips ran throughout the entire Marvel UK run. These would almost always be reprints of other Marvel titles.
| “ | ...anything, in truth, that featured a robot or someone in an iron suit | ” |
—Editorial in Titan Books "The Legacy of Unicron" trade | ||

Reprints
Action Force
Action Force was the European equivalent of G.I. Joe. Initially, there was a separate Action Force comic but it was cancelled after fifty issues. As was standard in UK comics, it was merged with the more successful Transformers and the title was changed to Transformers and Action Force when Action Force strips were run. From 249 it was rebranded as G.I. Joe - The Action Force and the comic was rebranded as Transformers and G.I. Joe - The Action Force.
Treated as main stories (no backup strips), the Ancient Relics! UK cross over story ran in #125 continuing in Action Force #24–27 and the US cross over series G.I. Joe and the Transformers ran in issues #265 to #281
Hercules
Hercules is a Demi-God. He is the son of Zeus and a mortal women, and eventually a member of the pantheon of Olympus.

| #70 - #73 | "What Fools These Immortals Be!" | Hercules Vol 1 1 |
| #74 - #77 | "For the Love of Gods" | Hercules Vol 1 2 |
| #78 - #81 | "Whom the God Would Destroy!" | Hercules Vol 1 3 |

Inhumanoids
Another Hasbro property with an obligatory Marvel Comics series, in this case just four issues reprinted in chunks in the UK. The Inhumanoids were a group of subterranean monsters who were sealed beneath the Earth until accidentally released by humans, and were opposed by the Earth Corps and a race of good mutants known as the Mutores. The series was cancelled after only four issues, ending on a cliffhanger.
| Issues | Story | Inhumanoids at Marvel Database |
| #103 - #106 | "The Coming of the Inhumanoids, Part 1" | Inhumanoids Vol 1 1 |
| #107 - #110 | "I Left My Monsters in San Francisco" | Inhumanoids Vol 1 2 |
| #111 - #114 | "The Battle Down Below!" | Inhumanoids Vol 1 3 |
| #115 - #118 | "Metlar Unleashed!" | Inhumanoids Vol 1 4 |
Iron Man
Tony Stark is an industrialist playboy who fights crime in a powered suit as Iron Man.
"Man of the Year" was a Spider-Man story set in 2020; however it was rebranded as The Iron Man of 2020 after the more prominent guest star.
| Issues | Story | Iron Man at Marvel Database |
| #43 - #46 | "Night of the Octopus" | Marvel Fanfare Vol 1 22 |
| #47 - #50 | "From the Ashes" | Marvel Fanfare Vol 1 23 |
| #119 - #125 | "Man of the Year" | Amazing Spider-Man Annual Vol 1 20 |
| #126 - #129 | "Deep Trouble!" | Iron Man Vol 1 218 |
| #146 - #152 | "Stratosfire" | Iron Man Annual Vol 1 9 |
Machine Man
Machine Man aka 2ZP45-9-X-51, was a robot built from a durable titanium alloy, trying to live as a human and carry on the dream of his creator, Dr. Able Stack.
The reprints from Machine Man vol 2 are set in the year 2020 and also featured Iron Man of 2020. The impact of this seemingly innocent reprint was huge for Marvel UK: first seeing the Spider-Man appearance of Iron Man 2020 put in, then getting Death's Head moved to 2020 in his solo strip for a third Iron Man appearance, which led to the '90s Marvel UK using the 2020 storyline as a recurring setting for comic after comic!
Probably for good reasons, there was no reprint of Machine Man Vol 1 16 - "Baron Brimstone and His Sinister Satan Squad"
| Issues | Story | Machine Man at Marvel Database |
| #1 - #3 | "Byte of the Binary Bug" | Machine Man Vol 1 11 |
| #4 - #5 | "Where Walks the Gods" | Machine Man Vol 1 12 |

| #15 - #17 | "Arms and the Robot" | Machine Man Vol 1 17 |
| #18 - #21 | "Alone Against Alpha Flight" | Machine Man Vol 1 18 |
| #22 - #25 | "Jolted By Jack O'Lantern!" | Machine Man Vol 1 19 |
| #27 - #29 and #309 - #312 | "He Lives Again!" | Machine Man Vol 2 1 |
| #31 - #34 and #318 - #321 | "If This Be Sanctuary?!" | Machine Man Vol 2 2 |

| #39 - #42 and #326 - #329 | "Victory" | Machine Man Vol 2 4 |
Planet Terry
Often regarded as the worst of the UK back-up strips, Planet Terry was pitched at younger readers and starred the eponymous Terry, who is searching for his parents after being accidentally jettisoned off their ship.

| #16 - #19 | "The Search" | Planet Terry Vol 1 1 |
| #20 - #25 | "The Saga of Princess Ugly" | Planet Terry Vol 1 2 |
Robotix
Robotix was a Hasbro toyline about two warring robotic races which had a tie in cartoon by Sunbow Productions and a single comic issue by Marvel Comics. As this is a completely ludicrous idea that could never catch on, it was short-lived.
| Issues | Story | Robotix at Marvel Database |

Spitfire and the Troubleshooters
One of Marvel Comics' New Universe titles. Professor Jenny Swenson dons the Man-Assisted eXperimental armor, she takes the codename Spitfire and a group of her college students did the same, becoming The Troubleshooters. They fought crime.
| Issues | Story | Spitfire and the Troubleshooters at Marvel Database |
| #86 - #90 | "Beginnings" | Spitfire and the Troubleshooters Vol 1 1 |
| #91 - #94 | "Behemoth" | Spitfire and the Troubleshooters Vol 1 2 |
| #95 - #98 | "Counterattack" | Spitfire and the Troubleshooters Vol 1 3 |
Visionaries
Set on the planet Prysmos, Visionaries depicted the struggle between the heroic Spectral Knights and the villainous Darkling Lords at the dawn of a quasi-feudal age of magic.
Visionaries was another Hasbro property, with a colorful hologram gimmick used on the figures chests and weaponry. A preview copy in #158 printed the first two and a half pages of the first story. When the comic was cancelled it merged into Transformers (changing the name to Transformers and Visionaries) and printed the remainder of the stories. Later Transformers reprinted the first issue in full.
| Issues | Story | Visionaries at Marvel Database |

| #187 - #190 | "Quest of the Four Talismans Part 2" | Visionaries Vol 1 5 |

Other Series
Panini's Armada and Titan's movie series comic have both used the same tactic, Panini with original Transformer strips, and Titan with IDW reprints and unused Transformers Animated strips (and one new one).
