The Who's Who was a feature in the Marvel UK comics that kept readers up to date with the current status of their favourite Transformers characters. Three editions of Who's Who were produced: one for the Decepticons in issue #48, a two-parter for the Autobots in issues #53-54 and one for the humans in issue #59. The Autobot Who's Who and the Decepticon Who's Who were subsequently reprinted in the Transformers Annual 1987.

They are in line with the then-current UK continuity where, for example, many of the Autobot characters that were deactivated during "Prime Time!" in the US comics were still active, and the human edition includes UK-only characters. Despite calls for its return on the letters page, the idea was never revisited, probably because the rapidly-growing Transformers cast rendered it impractical.

Notes

  • Though Megatron is listed as "presumed destroyed" following his battle with Ratchet and the Dinobots, he returns to the comic just three issues later in issue #51.
  • Jetfire is referred to as a "Valkyrie jet-fighter".
  • Sunstreaker was not so badly injured after all — he would be revived twice, sometime before issue #174 and during issue #260.
