I can see how they wouldn't appreciate the ruffles in areas such as those.

Nor did they take kindly to the floppy hair and the ankle-length period coat.

I could do what I wanted on Ecclesall Road. I could sit in a cafe with a cup of Earl Grey, reading the latest TF comic I'd just purchased, and no-one would bat an eyelid.

Ahh... Ecclesall Road, the hub of tranquility.
Fine range of comic accompanying beverages vendors too.

A good comic based on the Bay movie and the usually empty IDW TF's?
I so miss Marvel and Dreamwave when the comics had characters or at least had glanced at the tech specs. No empty Stormbringers or meteor riding Hot Rod's there.
Then again we did get Micromasters.
If only it was a 75 page collector's edition with three stories a month. One that continued the Marvel run, one for Dreamwave and I suppose to accomodate everyone, IDW too.

Filth park? is that a real place name or just a local nickname for an area?
As for the comic sounds interesting, will have to give it a look when it's published.

I don't think this UK series will last very long....not many UK comics do....well except for 2000AD and Beano. 
Transformers ain't that big with the kiddies as it was in the eighties.....but then.....I might be wrong if the movie is successful.

Serious question: is the Beano still going?
I also fear the comic may be shortlived, but hopefully the movie will bring in more fans.

I think the movie will be really big with kids (TF is already very popular, maybe not reaching the heights of the mid 1980s, but I think this movie will do it) - and I think the comic will be big for kids and adults, so I think it will be pretty successful. Titan have a history of being very reluctant to cancel any of their comics/magazines anyway, which bodes well!
I'd disagree about the UK comics scene. Panini (formerly Marvel UK) have had success with their Collectors Editions (Spidey and X-Men have been going over 10 years). And it's not just reprints: Panini's "Spectacular Spiderman" is original UK stuff and that's been running for years too.
It certainly is a different scene than the 1980s though. Man, I miss weekly & fortnightly comics
I am very excited about the new Transformers comic. Part reprint/part new sounds familiar - could we see a return to the Transformers glory days?! There's something about UK comics that the US equivalents just can't touch; maybe it's the chatty editorials and general tone which doesn't take anything too seriously without parodying the whole concept; maybe it's something else. All I know is...roll on July!

Yep.

Around the movie, the comic should get plenty of attention. It's surviving between films that'll be the issue.
