2005 Board member, D-Drive has once again provided us with the Diamond Comics Shipping list. On tap next week for our beloved Robots in Disguise is:
TRANSFORMERS CLASSICS UK VOLUME 5 TP(W) Simon Furman & Various (A) Jeff Anderson & Various (CA) Andrew Wildman
Classic TRANSFORMERS tales from the UK continuity! These vintage TF stories are presented in order, many published for the first time in the United States! Writer and life-long TF fan James Roberts provides in-depth historical perspective front matter in each volume, and TFUK artist Andrew Wildman provides new covers!

A shout out to Lloyd Young too, who does a lot of the clean up work involved with the scans for the book. Having seen before and after pics of scans, he does good work!
And yeah, honestly, the guys who work hard to put these books together don't get paid, it's done out of love for the material and wanting to share it with as many folk as possible.
8 volumes is the plan, it'll happen eventually.

If that's the case, and the hold up is mainly due to the interviews and extras, I wish they'd do 'no extras' versions just to get the original material out for those who want to read the actual stories. Personally, I have no interest in the extras (I never read them), I'd just like the complete UK material to finally get released in a timely manner.

So much for one comic a week.

If you've never read 'City of Fear' that looks to be in this compilation I'd really recommend it – Zombie robots FTW.

The first 4 came out pretty consistantly with little to no delay, not sure what the hang up is on this 5th volume. Still , it wont complete the UK run, haven't seen a pre-order for a 6th volume yet, these may not be selling well…
General Tekno
They aren't entirely compilations – Roberts edits these and also includes a ton of extras – we get information on what the freebies the comic was offering were, background behind-the-scenes context, letters pages, interviews with the writers/artists/editors… these books are pretty amazing.
(Plus, Roberts is a busy guy, after all.)
El Zilcho
Cool, maybe it will actually come out this time. I don't understand the repeated delays on these things, when they're just compilations of existing material.

Ugh, finally. Ever since the original release date of 6th of Nov 2013……

Never could get into Marvel TF comics.
Bought Vol 1 and had to force my way through it.
