    A Blast From The Recent Past
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 September 2011*

First a note as to what is actually contained in this volume as the marketing blurb is just plain wrong.  This is a reprint of the first 13 issues of the Marvel (US) Transformer series which started in 1984.  UK readers will recognise these as they all appeared in early issues of our comic too.On to the quality of the collection.  Unlike previous Classics reprints, there are no issues missed here - IDW and Marvel have sorted out their licensing quibbles so that characters like Spiderman and Circuit Breaker no longer cause anything to be missed.  Also different is the colouring - gone are the dot matrix grids, replaced by solids.  This doesn't really improve the look in my view - these are old comics, and I'd prefer them to look as they did originally.  The solid colours give everything a rather flat look and highlight any problems with the artwork.  It's not a dealbreaker however.  The cover is embossed and it's a fairly handsome trade paperback.  There is a new two page introduction and three small notes highlighting trivia on a few of the comics - these are fine but more could certainly have been done from an editorial standpoint.  The covers of each issue are reproduced.As for the content itself, it's aged a bit but not as badly as I expected.  These were written to sell toys and for the first four issues it really shows as both writer and artist struggle to breathe life into the robot characters.  Credit is due though for establishing the Transformers mythology.  When Budiansky gets hands on with scripting duties things start to improve.  These comics could easily have been terrible given the huge roster of toys to sell, but he quickly focuses on a few and isn't afraid to build up an overarching plot between many issues - something that kept me hooked as a kid.  Included here are Shockwave's grand entrance, the plight of Ratchet as last remaining Autobot, and the return of Prime and Megatron after long absences.  There isn't a settled artistic team, and some people get to grips with the subject better than others (William Johnson in Warrior School is the first to get the Bots to show some kind of emotion) however it's passable for the most part.  They stand up OK for what they are, and if you are buying as a Transformers fan, or just to indulge in nostalgia, then you'll enjoy them again.  I wouldn't recommend them to a neutral reader of course.Finally, if you want a copy of this I wouldn't hang about.  IDW has a terrible record of keeping stuff in print, and Amazon UK seem useless at getting much stock - use a reliable Marketplace seller or order directly from Amazon.com rather than wait.

    Nostalgia heaven
  

*by M***M on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 November 2013*

With the recent Michael Bay films proving to be huge blockbuster hits now is the perfect time to revisit these old comics from the 80's. For something that started off as just an advert to sell toys, there has actually been a lot of thought and plot put into these comics full of great characters and even set in the Marvel Universe with guest appearance from Spiderman and cameo from Nick Fury in one issue. A lot of fun to read though i suspect this book will simply appeal to fans only with fond memories of the original comics or fans of the new films curious to see where it all started but if you are a fan then these comics are pretty much as i remember from the 80's and will no doubt love. Graphic novel contains the first 12 issues and sees the arrival from the Transformers home planet Cybertron.

    Transformers begins
  

*by H***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 January 2015*

Bought this book out of nostagia for the Transformers comic I used to get as a child - certainly a superior incarnation than the current films.The book comes with a bit of background about how it came to be created, which is quite interesting.Credit is deserved for creating an interesting plot around something which could have been seen as a cynical marketing exercise.Did find I got tired of the constant changing of the characters eventually, but the comics did have a good run and there were some exciting stories with clever ideas.
