Oh let it be over!

A few more issues and it will surpass the first Titan movie volume as second longest running UK TF comic!

[primenova]

Titan did 77 issues in total anyway with a few name changes along the way. The first set ending up being called Transformers Universe at #22 or around then - I remember the cover not the issue number.

3D eraser 1 Steeljaw - others being Bumblebee, Optimus, Drift, Underbite over the next 4 issues
Keyring blind bagged but should be with the next 5 issues. Feels like Fixit, but it could be Sideswipe. It is Fixit.

[primenova]

Not got the new issue yet but its £4.99 & few free gifts

[primenova]

#26 Worthy £3.99

[primenova]

#27 the price of both UK comic do keep going up.

£4.49 King of the hill part 1

#28 - 26/1/18

[primenova]

#28 £4.49 Sideswipe keyring & set of stickers & extra gift. ep 48 & not King of the hill part 2. Just checked last issue & they had done both parts in 8 pages. 3 pages for part 1 then 5 pages for part 2 & missing 70% of the episode out.

#29 23/2/18

[primenova]

RID #29 out today - but I didn't get it because Sainsburys aren't putting on the shelf because the barcode doesn't scan. I'll try later on because I have coupon for £4 off when spend £20 runs outs tomorrow & going to get RID 29 & RB #9 at same time.

The #29 is £4.25 but I've still not got it yet, just waiting for it to have a working barcode.

[primenova]

Picked it up from Morrisons £4 - they scanned 2 lots of mints because the barcode still doesn't scan.

49 Blurred with Optimus Prime toy & the last rubber Bumblebee. & pack of cards - some have the motion sticker or another pack of cards in them. Advert inside for Rescuebots comic

#30 23/3/18

[primenova]

I've not got it yet - but £4.99 #30 with Blurr toy & lots of stickers.

[KnightBeat]

#30 also contains a poster and 'tattoo' (I assume some kind of transformer), in addition to the Blurr figure and 30 stickers.

Blurr is cheap, but could be a reasonable Action Master if it had arm & leg joints and a decent paint job. I was also impressed they had made an effort to tie it into the comic itself. You can make Blurr's vehicle mode if you're willing to remove & cut up the front/back cover.

I notice this issue is simply labelled 'Transformers'. Primenova, was the RID subtitle present on the last few issues?

Edit: Next issue due on April 27th

[primenova]

I'll have to keep checking that- they have had it under 3 different titles so far so I stopped checking it.

[primenova]

I've checked #1,2,3,22-30 & they all state Transformers. I'm sure it said something different on #3 must be later on

[primenova]

I knew I entered it somewhere

Notes:
The comic is titled Transformers Robots in Disguise, but is just called Transformers on the details page #1-3. Now titled Transformers Robots in Disguise from #4. Each issue comes in 2 formats - newsagent edition which is oversized front cover & cheap plastic toy. Airport edition comes with more expensive free gifts. #8 onwards are screen shots from the cartoon

[primenova]

#31 is £4.25

[KnightBeat]

Thanks. I assumed Signature were repeating Titan's approach of dropping the sub-line at the end of its life or preparing for a switchover, but clearly not. It'll be interesting to see how they respond to the Cyberverse line.

[primenova]

#32 out 25/5/18. I don't expect any title change until the month after we start with the new cartoon which looks like being Oct18, but we have no confirm dates at all. We missed the easter launch so they normally wait until October but the toys might hit July time?

For posterity, the issue is sold with stickers, a keyring, and (depending where you buy it) a robot hand or Optimus Prime truck launcher thing.

[primenova]

I got the Bumblebee toy but Asda had the Prime truck. Every issue has the keyring - just what the other gifts are - are random.

[primenova]

Rid #32 £4.49 with Jazz toy & 3 random stuff

grimlock/bumblebee/optimus keyring, set of cards, poster,

#33 out 22/6/18

I might have to get #32 from asda because sainsburys, morrisons have not got the issue. sainsburys at white rose had it in but they weren't doing the points boost on firday.

[primenova]

Got the issue today Tesco are still stocking it. Got optimus keyring with the Jazz toy & poster. ep 52 in the comic.

[primenova]

Issue at Sainsburys the issue scans at 50p more than the cover price & they get in 2 weeks late
