    Looks good, though I'm a bit nervous as to what'll happen to Buster & Jesse ><

    I wonder if we'll see a cosmic reset button at the end of the series...

    I really like the artwork. Much more so than other comics. Great retro styling!

    It's really the only way this series can have a happy ending at this point...

    retro art is a great way to refer to the past in TF comics!

    I think its an anthology of a few different stories set at different points throughout the timeline.

    The whole issue won't just focus on Deathbringer.

    While the Deathbringer was only mentioned in passing in US Marvel, it was instrumental in the corruption of the Matrix... which was a substantial theme in the US run. I can only assume that this story investigates this aspect on some level.

    Love Geoff Senior's art. :thumbs2: 

    Part of me wishes that the main comic had gone all the way, with retro colouring to match the pencils/ink. Although I do really like how the art has turned out in the main issues. I wouldn't be clamouring for a limited palette with dots everywhere, although it's very nostalgic. I just prefer art with solid colours, instead of all the blending and blurring.

    Hi, I am brand new to the site, and to the TF Comics. So I ask, what is this storyline got to do with the original TF Comics. I ordered, the 1st 2 classics volumes, issues 1-13, and 14-25, plus preodered 5 and 6, got 5 in mail last month. Also got the 1st 2 volumes of Regernation One, which I understand, if correct, is a continuation of the original comics.

    But is this #0 from the UK series, cause I saw those on amazon.com. I hope this doesn't sound stupid. I just have always been a TF fan. Born in 84, watched the original tv shows, G1, and have every season, in the new 25th anniversary sets.

    I also have enjoyed the Robots in Disguise series.

    The UK series is not part of RG1 continuity. It's is a continuation of the Marvel US comic. While the UK material was written (back in the day) to fit with the US stuff, RG1 explicitly contradicts significant UK-specific events.

    Didn't Marvel US also contradict a lot of the Marvel UK works too after Simon Furman took over writing for Bob Budiansky?

    Indeed, specifically the "Earthforce" stories (I'm actually unclear as to whether these were written prior to, or concurrent with, the US stuff, but they're certainly contradicted by the US stuff).

    All of which is especially odd given that Furman wrote the stories he himself was contradicting.

    But the point remains, in answer to the question given: no, this is not #0 of the UK series, as the UK series has been stated repeatedly not to be part of RG1.

    The Earthforce stuff never fit properly into any continuity and is widely ignored when it comes to the main UK continuity. I consider it an Alt Reality myself, I do the same with my Beloved G2 as well. Being a Doctor Who fan it's really easy for me to just shove things into other realities.

    There isn't a distinct end to the Marvel UK continuity and beginning to the Earthforce continuity. Simon was making it up as he went along, not planning or caring about how it contradicts the U.K. stories (now reprints of the U.S. comics). Some Earthforce stories are continued on from Time Wars for example.

    Thanks everyone. Is it a good thing so start from beginning? With issue 1 in Volume 1 of the classics book?

    Is RG1 a continuation of the original US TF series?

    Ostensibly.

    Like IDW's GI Joe Real American Hero, Regeneration One is meant to act as a sequel to the Marvel Comics original series. In both cases, you may have to make some allowances... but yeah, that's what they're supposed to be.

    As to where to start, yeah, you could start from Marvel US #1.

    There are enough references to UK Marvel stories and plot lines I would recommend reading the UK stories too. Auntie certainly never appeared in the US Stories.

    Thanks. I think it's the Marvel set, it's Vol 1 of the TF Classics. I know back in like 2008 it was missing 2 issues, this has all 1st 13, then 2nd one with Megatron on them is 14-25. 1st one has Prime on it.

    I'm trying to forget that she ever appeared in RG1...

    Seriously, that's perhaps the worst homage to the UK works Furman could have brought over. Such a stupid name....

    (I know... yes, it DID originate in the US stuff. Besides the original treatment by Jim Shooter -- although apparently redacted at some point in the process -- Huffer called the Ark's computer by this name in US issue #1. I'd been happy to consider that an out-of-character colloquialism for nearly 30 years. The idea that it's the computer's actual name.... Ugh! Just too dumb for words...)

    ((Never let it be said that I can't criticize even my beloved comics continuity))
