Again, there weren't too many comics produced for this Era.
IDW produced 6 issues, with one issue being exclusive to the Jetfire/Jetstorm 2-pack (and later included in the TPB of the mini-series). These issues were intended to fit into the cartoon story universe.

Meanwhile in Japan, they had a Manga publication called "The Cool" that mostly retold episodes of the cartoon, as well as a few original stories... so it probably fits in the cartoon universe.
The first 10 chapters were reprinted as a complete book, with an exclusive translucent Activators Optimus.

But leave it to the UK to create some unique comic material, a tradition since Generation 1. Unfortunately, it was a very short-lived comic, but it did introduce some original characters... that most fans have never heard of.

Details of the Animated era can be read about here.


If you have any of these comics, have a refresher read and tell us a bit about them.

Are they worth buying after all this time (do you recommend them), and what do you think is good or bad about them.

How do they compare to the current era of Transformers comics?
