Which Marvel Transformers Comics Are In Which Collection?

[Philip Ayres]

Inspired by this afternoon's question on what order to read certain trades in, I have engaged on a little research.

First Column is UK issue numbers. As is right and proper there are 332 rows in this table.
Second Column is US issue numbers. If the story in question appeared in a US issue, then there's a number here.
Third Column is story title.
Fourth Column is the title of the Titan Trade they appeared in.
Fifth Column is the edition of the US Classics Trades the story appears in.
Sixth Column is the edition of the UK Classics Trades the story appears in.

Apart from the obvious exception, these last two columns can be used to tell if a story is US or UK in origin.

Some issues are marked with an asterisk. They contain a second Transformers story. See bellow.

Issue 232 is unique in having three Transformers stories: in addition to the two above the colour back up strip is the second part of the reprint of Resurrection from 104.

[blueshift]

Good work but the back up strips extended past 270

[Philip Ayres]

Odd, something gone wrong with the Excel I used to produce this or my research. Bear with, will correct in an hour or so when I can get back to the laptop with Excel on.

The data is obviously in the model as I can see the marks for the extra stories all the way to 289.

[Philip Ayres]

Sorted. And the subsequent problem where the new entries weren't breaking rows in the right place.

[Pinwig]

When you look at it like that it makes you realise we aren't that far from having the Classics UK series collect everything. I really hope that sequence goes the distance, if anything for the supplementary material.
