Junior Press was a Dutch publisher of comic books that is located in The Netherlands. It printed The Transformers comic book series up until On the Edge of Extinction!. They also Printed The Headmasters as a stand-alone comic which was given out for free at toy-stores.
Because only 2 issues were printed every three months, it had to omit several comics in order to stay close to the US releases (yet oddly enough they did include issue 43) though there was the occasional double-sized issue. Most importantly they skipped on the storyline in which Optimus and Megatron died. This was due to the fact that "The Transformers The Movie Adaptation" was printed but not in a stand-alone release or mini-series but in the regular series despite not fitting at all. And they felt killing off Optimus twice was too much so they skipped the comic storyline.
