Kinda wish I could get my hands on these UK comics at my local comic book shop. Looks good!

The Titan Transformers Comics are definitely interesting, however most of it wasn't canon (atleast for the first movie). I like how they're using Jolt, I wonder if he'll have a heavier role in TF3..

I was actually blown away by the artwork, I am glad that Titan chose to share with us. Prior to a few months ago, I didn't know these comics existed but they are pretty cool.

I just got home drunk from the club, holla! And This Jolt's face is super bad ass so I just moded my Jolt to reflect this one. I even took out a section of the chin (cause it seemed too pointy and long) and gave him a pissed of grited teeth mouth. Added black to the center of the face to give him a pissed off look. Looks great on my shel f

I want to like it, I really do. But 8 pages of advertisements, a double splash page just for contents, 7 pages of puzzles and competitions and 4 pages of letters just seem excessive to me in a 36 page magazine. There's only 8 pages of comic strip, less than a quarter of the comic.

The Movie verse stories just seem hollow. The art isn't bad but there's something missing. Maybe IDW and Dreamwave spoiled us, I don't know. Plus am i the only one who thinks ROTF Bludgeon looks goofy. The Wreckage repaint was so much cooler. I was actually enjoying All Hail Megatron which is difficult to get over here and the butcher it before removing it altogether.

The large page size make it feel like a kiddie mag and I'm a tad embarrassed buying it.

Given that they have some of the original Marvel UK crew available to them, it's a shame they don't publish it in that format. Smaller pages, 1 page of letters, maybe a competition and some profiles. An 11 page and a 6 page strip.

The Marvel UK comic never felt this childish and it ended when I was 15.

Sorry to be so negeative but I had to get this off of my chassis.

Be nice if they rotated the comic strip to show other versions of Transformers, preferably new stories that follow on from the likes of Marvel G1 or Energon.

Ummm... the original Marvel UK comic was large-page magazine format (and probably less of a 'kiddie mag' than its American counterparts in those days).

My copy is 11 pages unlike 8 pages stated in first post. I dont think Jon was given much design for Bludgeon - but the cgi on the toy box doesn't look to good either.
