The Transformers Classics UK Volume 1, published by IDW Publishing, is the first in a series of eight collections aiming to reprint the Marvel UK Transformers stories in order of publication, including the Annuals. In addition to simply reprinting the stories, numerous other pieces of both archival and original material are included: James Roberts provides an in-depth historical introduction to the volume over twenty pages in length, charting the development of the Marvel UK universe over the period of time the book's stories cover, as well as writing a two-to-three page introductory essay for every story that discusses its creation, chronological placement relative to the US stories, any reprintings it may have had, and even includes interview snippets with various creators. A gallery of every cover is included, even featuring the issues that reprinted US content, along with images of numerous free gifts and other featurettes from the comic, like fact files, contents pages, posters, competitions, and other special articles. New cover art is provided by Andrew Wildman.
