There's a new Transformers Graphic Novel partwork coming to the UK soon

Transformers The Definitive G1 Collection



ISSUE 1
TARGET 2006
Witness the era spanning and groundbreaking ‘Target: 2006’, a mini-epic which span out of Transformers (The Animated) Movie and changed the course of the UK comic forever, and the essential US stories (#21-23) that followed it.


ISSUE 2
STORMBRIDGE
Discover the key Spotlight issues, including the classic Spotlight: Shockwave (featuring the Dinobots), and the pulse-pounding Stormbringer mini-series.


ISSUE 3
THE PRIMAL SCREAM
Featuring specially colourized UK stories ‘Race With the Devil’ and ‘Survivors’, the return of Megatron, the rise of Unicron and the honest-to-gosh ORIGIN OF THE TRANSFORMERS.


ISSUE 4
EDGE OF EXTINCTION
Featuring the whole Unicron saga (US issues #68-75) complete in one volume for the first time. This is the storyline that thrilled a generation of readers, and set the bar for every Transformers story that followed.


ISSUE 5
THE WAR WITHIN
It all begins here. In Cybertron’s distant past, as the origins of the Great War are revealed, we witness the rise of Optimus Prime and Megatron, seeds that would eventually lead to all-out Civil War … and to Earth.

 

HO-LEE crap. I really want this. But they won't allow subscriptions outside of the UK and Ireland, bummer.

Anyone know of any ways of obtaining these? As far as Marvel US/UK goes, this looks like the Chronological collection I've hoped for!

 

Transformers: The Definitive G1 Graphic Novel Collection Subscription Available for the UK and Republic of Ireland - Transformer World 2005 - TFW2005.COM

 

>Dreamwave era comics

My sincere apologies to my UK brethren.

 

Is this available only in the UK? 

 

I subscribed. I need to catch up on my comic reading and it seems like a sweet deal. Plus, no IDW  

EDIT: looks like there are some IDW stories. A shame but not enough to put me off.

 

Already posted UK Transformers Graphic Novel Partwork from Hatchette

 

Gotta admit, the lack of IDW makes this pretty great. I'd go for this if I lived in the land of fish and chips and tea time.

 

Hopefully there will be a way to get these in the states.

 

There's an existing, all but ignored, news thread for this from yesterday:

UK Transformers Graphic Novel Partwork from Hatchette

EDIT: ah I see that was spotted.

Given other recent Hatchette partworks (Doctor Who, Judge Dredd) the chances are this is a trial run which will have limited availability in the UK in just a few areas and consisting of just those 5 issues shown. If it's successful it'll go nationwide, probably early in the new year when most partwork publications start.

 

I'm most interested in finally being able to buy trades of the The War Within 3, Sunstorm saga and the Ongoing as those have only ever been available as single issues, and not even able to read online. If this series covers those volumes.

 

Their website wasn't great. Huge "cookies" pop-up blocking the screen, and an insistence on giving a UK postcode to just even contact them. I understand it's just for uk residents, but communication, especially potentially customer service should be open to all.

Btw, you can just use any fake postcode, such as "TG1 4D7

 

The Dreamwave was not all bad. Some of it was better than the garbage we get with IDW.

 

They're not in order? I'm out.

 

War Within was probably the best thing DW ever did. And a neat series/idea for sure.

 

Issue 1 is £1.99
Issue 2 is £6.99
Issue 3 onwards is £9.99
I sub'd as it will allow me to get the Marvel and Dreamwave comics for considerably cheaper than previous books on Amazon.
I just hope they're in the proper order. (Marvel then Dreamwave then IDW. NO INTERMINGLING!!)

 

These things never are, to keep you buying.

 

Wait, referring to James Roberts as a "comic legend" is a joke, right? Please tell me that's a joke.

 

Awesome!

Definitely tempted to pick these up.
