Early on in The Transformers comic series, events were depicted as happening in the mainstream universe along with other Marvel Comics stories. Spider-Man played a leading role in issue #3. Cameos and references were made to other Marvel characters and settings including Reed Richards, S.H.I.E.L.D., Nicholas Fury, Dum Dum, Godzilla, the Savage Land, U.S. 1, Ka-Zar, and Dazzler. Editors notes explicitly placed issue #3 prior to Spider-Man #258 and issue #8 before Avengers #257. On the flip side, Circuit Breaker cameoed in Marvel title Secret Wars II which hit newsstands before Josie Beller revealed her new Circuit Breaker identity to Transformers readers in issue #9.[1] Additionally, the Savage Land was the setting for the story "Destiny of the Dinobots!" in the 1990 UK annual.
Nevertheless, the letters page for US issue #64 declared Transformers and Marvel Universes to be separate. It also asked the readers to forget about the issue guest-starring Spider-Man.
In 2009, the universe of the US Transformers comics was unofficially given its own Marvel Comics designation, Earth-91274,[2] which also includes the G.I. Joe comic. In the Transformers classification system, this universal stream is known as Primax 984.0 Gamma.[3]
Notes
- The number is derived from the birth date of Marvel staff artist Nelson Ribeiro, who is a huge Transformers fan.[4]
- 23 years later, Transformers—this time from the IDW Generation 1 continuity—were reintroduced into the Marvel's mainstream continuity with the New Avengers/Transformers crossover series.
