Yes. Issue 5 went on sale on the 21st January 1995.
A dark day for us all.

I remember seeing #1 in the newsagents... and then not bothering with it because I figured it had nothing to do with the original series. I picked the issues up several years later though.

The "Transforming" comic itself. Ah, for an issue or two it seemed like we'd have another era of TF UK awesomeness....

I remember going round newsagents in Dunfermline to get multiple copies of Issue 1 and 2.
Damn you free stickers!

My newsagent told me there was no #5.. Imagine my joy months later when I stumbled upon a bunch shelf warming in a town we randomly stopped at for lunch on the way back from a job interview my father had just had.
And inside... when I 'transformed' the cover... TMUK!

I sadly didn't bother writing to Matt. I simply did my own comics for fun at the time both in print and on the computer, even then blazing a digital trail!

After seeing two G2 comics stop I needed the adventure to continue. That CG2 with Martin's Prime.. burnt into my soul.

A belated happy birthday to G2UK.
I only ever saw one issue of it on the shelves, but have read and enjoyed the others since. I may be a bit late (Time Travel. Finicky science) but a very happy birthday to it.

I wouldn't say you were late... Just paying tribute to the title with matching ambiguity and uncertainty on dates!

I did get all 5 issues then only kept #1,2 for the new stories & didn't keep the other that had reprints with having the US comics #4,5.

Did The Official G2 Annual come out before or after the Fleetway comic?
