New Transformers Royal Mail Stamps Available to Preorder Now

My sister in law has ordered these for me.

I beleive theese are based on the marvel comics. Megatron's helmet is black. That's obviously bumblebee from before he died and got rebuilt into goldbug in the G.I. Joe crossover. And where else have we seen grimlock vs shockwave (except maybe foc). But what's with soundwave and arcee?

They just wanted to have a bunch of main autobots and decepticons and have them fight eachother. It doesn't relate to a scene or a battle or even a rivalry in particular.

All the other rivalries did happen.

So to include them in this kind of thing. Basically you can pair her up with anyone, because it doesn't matter.

Blaster is sad

Blaster is always sad. Living in Soundwave's shadow

It kind of makes me mad, he should be a lot more popular, we're all tired of
BUMBLEBEE BUMBLEBEE BUMBLEBEE BUMBLEBEE BUMBLEBEE BUMBLEBEE BUMBLEBUTT!
why?!

I don't know what is wrong with the G1 toon, if it wasn't for that this website would not exist today as comics alone would not have been enough to sustain this toy line going through the years consistently.

The battle with Megatron and Prime with the axe and mace did not happen in the US Marvel comics, that happened in the cartoons first 3 part series over hoover dam.
Grimlock vs shockwave could be in the savage land from the Marvel comics issue #8.

The only thing that ties the directly to the comics is it looks like the artwork of Andrew Wildman, Stephen Baskerville and Nel Yomtov.


And before anyone says it,

The fact-filled pack is compiled by Transformers comic book writer James Roberts and delves into the background stories and attributes of each featured character.

This does NOT mean they are directly from comic book stories, he just talks about the background of each character.

His work is more recent, if anything they should have gotten Simon Furman to write it.

To me, the comment read that it was cool that original pieces of "classic" artwork were used. As opposed to mere stills from the show.

I read it a bit differently.

Yes..? Did I need to repeat what I said under the quoted text?

Nope I edited my last post to show what I mean in bold.
I read it that as there is something wrong with the G1 show.

100%

I am glad someone else noticed as that was the first thing that popped in my head when I saw them.

Nothing is wrong with the G1 cartoon, when did I say it was? Wasn't the savage land in the comics? Even if some of these didn't happen in the comic, they are drawn in the old comic style. I believe bumblebee with a million guns pointed at him is also from the comics.
