If Marvel UK carried out their plan to publish a monthly The Transformers comic after #332 in January 1992, we'd be on issue #558 by now.

And how long has taken you to calculate that?*
*I would take me about a year - even longer if I've had a few beers inbetween!

Probably not - they might've restarted it from #1 a few times to match the franchise reboots.
(And we'd have gotten RID strips!)

What would be more interesting if what would be in the comic if we had it featureing the toys released since - that they where all in the same timeline [ie Optimus Prime being same one from 1984 to 1997, 2001-2010]

I think up until "Generation 2" would be fine, but considering all the name re-uses on toys since then, the characters would be changing bodies every other issue!
I would certainly have loved to see 200 more issues of the 1984-1991 cast, even if it was 5 new pages per issue.

The interesting one would have been if they had done BW following Kenners original concept, basing it on the mini comic and the early tech specs so it was a direct continuation of G1. It probably woul have had to have ended in simialr style to the cartoon so that their BM story could go along with the toy line and cartoon.
But how would they have made the leap from BM (they wouldnt have had to have the same ending as the show) to RID? From there AEC would have been fairly straight forward and now maybe we would have the movie stories with the continuing G1, now in to classics/universe guises as the back up.

That's kinda how the "TMUK" version of Beast Wars began, spinning out of the CG2 fanzine at the time. Of course, none of us had seen the television series at that point! |

Yeah I really enjoyed those BW issues. Art was really good.

If you keep Primal & Prime apart - then Optimus from G2 can turn up back on earth in RID [seeing we never covered Cybertron in that series] but with Megatron [depends which you are going with, if having BW being renamed guy so you can do BW series 3, then this would make RID happening easy - if not then you need to somehow cover Megatron mixing with himself & then coming back from the dead at end of BM] But RID is where we start with the whole Megatron to Galvatron & back stuff. |
