Titan Books
In 2001, Titan Books acquired the rights to reprints of Marvel Comics' Transformers run, publishing the complete near-complete American series in several volumes of trade paperbacks and hardcovers. They have also released much of the Marvel UK material.
Their sister company, Titan Magazines, is currently publishing a Transformers title based on the 2007 film.

Non-Marvel Collections
Uncollected Material
- G.I. Joe and the Transformers #1-4 - Marvel US's 1986 crossover. This story did not take place in the UK continuity- at least not before the changes wrought by Time Wars.
- Transformers Universe #1-4 - Marvel's character profiles.
- Transformers Universe (various) - Character profiles printed as backups throughout the Marvel US run.
- Man of Iron!, The Enemy Within!, Raiders of the Last Ark!, Decepticon Dam-Busters!, The Wrath of Guardian!/The Wrath of Grimlock!, Christmas Breaker! and Crisis of Command!. It seems unlikely at this point that they will be reprinted.
