This magazine was published by the "Condor Verlag", (in)famous for their cheap pocket books from when they still (badly) translated and published US comics like Spider-Man, during the late '80s and early '90s and contained original text stories. The German Transformers Comic Magazine is pretty much forgotten and the text stories within them have managed to evade the fandom until recently.
However, a couple of fans just couldn't leave well enough alone and decided to not only hunt down and read these stories but also translate them and share them with the English speaking fandom.
So if you're interested in learning just how little care a publisher could put into it's product and want to discover something "new", click here to download the pdf of the fanzine, which is a "best off" of these stories.
Oh and "viel Vergnügen" while doing so.
More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

Been meaning to look into this German stuff, but I'm still busy with Marvel UK comics.

Interpret them how?Mkall wrote:I cannot wait to see how Sabrblade interprets all this stuff.

Now that I'm FINALLY done with all (and I do mean ALL) of the Marvel TF comics, I can at last move on to start reading this German stuff.
