Titan Books, the leading publisher of graphic novels in the UK, has agreed a deal with Hasbro to publish trade paperback collections featuring The Transformers, based on the hugely popular toy line, animated series and movie!

Return with Titan to the late 1980s, before Beast Wars and Beast Machines, when the ‘Robots in Disguise’ were truly ‘More Than Meets the Eye’! Re-live the ongoing battle between the heroic Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, and the might of Megatron’s evil Decepticons. Originally published in single-issue form by Marvel Comics, USA, the two titles – The Transformers: All Fall Down and The Transformers: End of the Road, collect the apocalyptic Unicron storyline from issues #69-80.

Transformers writer, Simon Furman, says: “It’s a dream come true to finally see these issues collected and re-published. I’d been writing Transformers for several years, both for the US and the UK, but this for me was when it all really kicked into top gear. At this stage in the saga, we (artist Andrew Wildman and myself) had been given a whole lot more latitude to really go epic on Transformers and basically wreak a whole lot of havok and kill a lot of characters. So we did.”

Transformers artist, Andrew Wildman, says: “The opportunity to draw Transformers was an exciting one. For me, particularly, it was the challenge of taking a bunch of tin boxes and breathing life into them that I relished. I could see at once there was more potential here than first met the eye, so to speak, and Simon and I gave them the depth of character they deserved. For me, this was the best fun I ever had in comics. Fond memories indeed.”

The series launches in August with The Transformers: All Fall Down, by Simon Furman, Andrew Wildman and Stephen Baskerville, and continues in November with The Transformers: End of the Road, by Simon Furman, Andrew Wildman, Geoff Senior and Stephen Baskerville.
