I just want to say I've been enjoying these too Martin, sorry for not commenting on every one! I'm enjoying the ones that are less crossovers more, but that's because I'm a filthy Transformers purist!

That's fair enough! The crossovers sort of happened as I decided to take the fact of the Marvel TF comic originally being set in the Marvel superheroes universe - and the G.I. Joe / Action Force universe - to its crazy logical conclusion. I've tried to give extra weight to TFUK backup strips like Rocket Raccoon, Machine Man, Inhumanoids, G.I. Joe / Action Force, Robotix and (the latest cameo) Visionaries, none of which we were told were _not_ part of the TF universe. However, Spitfire and the Troubleshooters will not be getting a mention. Thundercats was a Marvel UK comic (though I don't think it was Marvel in the US). So was Zoids. My biggest liberty has been to throw in the Masters of the Universe bad guys, who were DC, but I've at least made it clear that they are from another universe. Oh yeah, and there are Robo Machines knocking around too.

Anyway, thread numbers 7 and 9 are the main crossover ones, if anyone wants to steer clear of them.

One other aspect to the way I've taken this is that the way I see it, at the end of the Marvel TF comic, Cybertron is restored and it's a huge planet, but only a handful of TFs remain alive, so who's going to make use of all that planet? A few hundred TFs can't hog it all - and lots of the surviving Autobots will probably want to live on Earth once the war is over. So I figured other races would move in on Cybertron, and it would become a melting pot for many different opportunistic space-faring races, particularly robotic ones, with the TFs just defending their corner of it. It might almost become a new Grand Central Space Station for the Galaxy.
