Now that Transformers '84: Secrets and Lies has wrapped up, I figure new people will be wanting to get into the Marvel fiction, so I'm updating my reading order listing all the Marvel US and UK stories in what I believe to be the correct order. You can read most of the issues through the IDW Transformers Classics and Classics UK collections digitally or in print, although the Classics UK series has been put on indefinite hiatus as of Volume 5. The other main options are the Titan Books reprints, which have better printing quality compared to Classics US but don't completely collect some of the earlier UK material, and are only available in print, or the Definitive G1 Collection from Hatchette, which completely reprints US and UK material but is unavailable outside the UK.
