Here are all the links you will need:

Issue 133
Death's Head, having returned to the future, seeks revenge, and a few thou' shanix against Rodimus Prime. Enjoy.

Issue 145
Starscream gets taught the idea behind Christmas spirit. And, all the scans are high quality. Hurrah!

Issue 199
The first installment in the Reset-button saga known as "Time-wars", featuring (you guessed it) time travelling, in which we see the Quintessons didn't manage to kill any of the Terrorcons, or Blaster in their all-out assault in 2008. Shame. Download the whole story at Daff's site.

 Issue 225
Bugger Bugger Bugger Bugger Bugger . The first half of this ish is just a reprint up to about page 7 of 133, while the second is a diverting little story about Shockwave and the opening of Autobot City. Optimus Prime takes a blast in the back from Shockwave and barely flinches, so it's a little silly, IMHO.

 Issue 282
Inferno, doing his rounds as a screw, manages to act like an Evil Overlord's henchman, by letting three dangerous prisoners escape from Earthbase. There's also an awful American (I didn't need to use both adjectives, I know, they both mean the same) story about the Triggerbots being boring wusses. You'll be lucky if that one ever gets put up.

1987 Annual
The first story is a history lesson about Swoop and Divebomb (or should that be Divebomb and Divebomb?). The second, the story the above link takes you to, is the 1987 conclusion to the excellent Ultra-Mangnus/ futurebots/ Death's Head/ Goldbug etc. etc. story. Download the rest of the story from various sources (Check Maximus Prime's Archive.). Finally, it's back to the future, 2003 to be exact, in which Ultra Mangnus reveals plans about Autobot City to the 'bots. But didn't they have Earthforce base by then..? Oh, well, I guess that's one of the results of time-travel.

The text-story in this annual revolves around the Headmasters on Nebulos. I say revolves, when I really mean "messes it up". Hot Rod, Kup, Scourge and Cyclonus are ignored in the story, Fortress Maximus is drawn with Cerebros' head, and a new means of leaving Nebulos is invented. Finally, we have the tech-specs of the seven regular Headmasters. Not bad for whatever I paid for it, eh?

That is all for now. Check back here weekly, if you wish to see the following issues, which I shall upload soon (shah right):

Issue 180
The prologue, which builds up to the Space Pirates saga, a excellent six-part story, all of which can be downloaded from the aforementioned link (NB, I do not have issue 181. D'oh! But, both issues are already uploaded, albeit in their American guise, without the prologue or epilogue linking the story to Space Pirates. Go here: TF Archive).

Issue 195
Having opened the enigmatic beach resort, "Club Con", Ratbat and the Decepticons try to capture a couple of Autobot tapes. However, I-can't-believe-it's-not-Blaster is on hand to support an annoying chick who wishes to be "alone" with Buster Witwicky. Eck.

Issue 196
Hooray, I have two issues in succession! Following on from the previous issue, we take a history lesson which shows that Autobots, including Optimues Prime, had Earth-modes long before coming to Earth. And Cybertron was populated by some weird droids as well. And don't expect the next part, either.

Issue 307
Well, here we have a reprint of "In the National Interest" (Which is already fully uploaded in all it's glory, so it won't be here), which has probably the worst blooper I've seen in a comic - confusing Swoop with Laserbeak. Also present, is part two of "Eye in the Storm", one of the American stories which leads up to the coming of Unicron in some timeline I know ****-all about. It's unlikely you'll see that issue, as I think someone already uploaded it (US#69, I believe).

The Transformers Annual 1992
I considered myself a bit too old for Transformers when I bought this, at the grand age of 10, but, 170% that age now, I consider it a wise purchase.

The annual, unlike the previous one in my collection, contains a full story, the Carnivac-Catilla story, reprinted from the comic. I didn't own any of the issues containing the story, so I don't mind. Anyway, it's a real belter of the story, killing off several Decepticons and an Autobot Pretender, leading up to the story mentioned in issue 282. You can download the first three parts of the story Here.

The text-story in this issue is a solemn event. Set in the future, it has an ending which not only killed the remains of the Decepticons (Hey, it's not ruined, you know the Autobots always win, and besides, I'm not scanning/ rewriting a text story for you), but the entire Transformers line, in my opinion. Bah humbug. But hey-hey, kids, we also get a Combat Colin story! Using cockney rhyming slang! Woo-woo!

Okay, that's all I have to say, apart from, if you like Star Trek and own Civilization 2, go to:
Civ Trek
