G1 Marvel Comic Collections

[Sabrblade]

If you can figure out where Earthforce goes you'll be a legend.

Heh, someone once tried to back in the day, and from what I've heard about it, it was a ridiculous attempt that tried to put it all after the final issue as a bridge between it and Generation 2, with a ton of bending over backwards to justify how Unicron was suddenly a forthcoming threat again and then suddenly not, among literally every other discrepancy.

Could another fake Megatron make it work?

Fake Unicron.

I also got the TAAO digital files the other day (the TAAO Compendium is basically my anniversary/birthday/Christmas gift for this year) and have cataloged them in my comic collection and started reading it last night. A couple things I noticed:

* The copyright page of Volume 3 omits the fact that it collects UK #198-205 (Time Wars)
* I was slightly surprised to see that everything that (presumably) doesn't fit the main US/UK G1 narrative got shoved into Volume 4: Earthforce, TF & GIJoe (since it conflicts with the UK origin of Goldbug) and all of the G2 stuff.
* I was even more surprised that there were no editorial notes or explanations or anything, just the stories presented by themselves. Not even back cover copy to tell you what it is you're reading.

Still a pretty sweet collection, and the hardcovers (when they arrive) are going to be amazing.

Wait, there are digital versions of the TAAO compendiums? I thought those were strictly hardcover only.

What's odd about that? Where else would they all get put?

So Skybound released the digital files for their Marvel G1 Transformers Compendiums a few days ago.

I got the Til All Are One version that releases all the Marvel material interwoven in the UK order, with some alterations.

By the way, I've been working on a spreadsheet mapping out the TAAO contents to help visualize it better. What can I say? I'm an engineer. I still need to work on page numbers, but here's where it stands at the moment:
