  • Transformers UK TPBs (B&W Digests) by Titan

Notes

  • This volume covers some of the UK tales from issue #230 to #289.
  • The stories in the black and white Titan TPB digests are placed into themes rather than being a chronological collection of the UK tales as they were published. The page count inevitably means some of the TPB collections are more coherent than others.
  • Some of these stories—those involving Thunderwing or Micromasters—sit well within the wider Marvel continuity while the rest are in the Earthforce continuity.
  • There are no changes from the original prints so the teaser at the end of one story/arc usually doesn't relate to the next story in the book. For instance, the "Perchance to Dream" arc (UK issues #255–260) ends with 'Next: Starting Over', only to be followed by "The Big Shutdown" (issue #230).
  • The small size of the books (7½ by 5 inches—less than half the original A4 format) means that some of the fine detail is lost.
