Transformers Universe

    (Marvel, 1986-1988)
The Transformers are © and ™ HASBRO, Inc.

The Transformers were the toy/robot sensation of the 1980s, appearing in movies, on Saturday morning TV, and in a number of different comic books. Even rock band Faith No More mentioned them in a version of their song, “We Care a Lot.” But the legion of characters (along with all the different shapes each can transform into) could confuse even the most devoted fan. Luckily, there’s Transformers Universe to set the record straight. Like the Marvel Universe series, Transformers Universe catalogs each character in turn, along with its powers, first appearance, description…even a telltale quote to sum up each one’s personal philosophy.
