There was a reason for the "Marvel US Comic" label. Marvel UK #259 has a story with the same name (the final UK-only story printed in the regular comic, actually). Here's a link to a page referencing this: http://www.tfarchive.com/comics/marvel/?s=uk_281_290 --G.B. Blackrock 18:42, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

I know that exists, but the US story (being the final US issue and all) is better known so best candidate for the redirect to point to (ie what people intended to search for/link to), and a two side disambig up the top can be added when the UK issue article is added. Or my bored at work project today could be to repair the tags pointing to the redirect to point to US issue I guess... Cyc 21:13, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Whoa whoa. I definitely don't think that the nav chain should connect stories by different publishers and writers like that. It's already a stretch to jump from one series to the next, but I think it's justifiable since there was only the one story at the time, and G2 was the continuation of the original series.

The other continuations are noted below the summary (though in an easy-to-miss format that I feel should be changed.) I don't think they need to be in the nav box. -- Repowers 04:11, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, I asked about it in the channel, though admittedly only once. Nobody said anything. It seemed logical to me, and I had admittedly forgotten about Another Time and Place at the time. I figured, since the comicnav template allows for multiple strings, why not take advantage of it here? I suppose we could employ our "precidence" standards, as established in disambiguation policies, to determine which two are listed. Or we could just modify the template. --Sntint 05:23, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

The successor Marvel comic series gets precedence because IT'S THE FREAKIN' MARVEL COMICS. It was a nationally, heavily distributed fiction, the ONLY original TF fiction of its time, in fact. The Joe/G2 stories are THE continuation of the US Marvel story, and they are a flagship storyline by default. To say that Fun Pub can come along 20 years later and make up this one little story, and suddenly make the original story sequence and order of publication invalid, is incredibly disingenuous. We don't break the nav chain from B.O.T. to TF:TM just because Kiss Players or Binaltech or whatever else came along. Fun Pub is playing in someone else's universe. Yeah, it's a subjective judgment. But it's a common sense one, and one of this Wiki's gratifying M.O.s is to favor common sense over insane literalism on such matters. -- Repowers 02:12, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

UK printing

I've long though that the two UK cover images here look as though they were swapped round. The first tells us OPTIMUS PRIME IS BACK in an issue he doesn't actually appear in, but he does appear in the other. The second is a (kind of) obscured image, teasing a return - a little closer to what the first part does. Is this just me and too subjective to note in the article, or have others noticed or had thoughts? --MissRatbat (talk) 09:01, 12 January 2015 (EST)
