I disagree. The entire Marvel comic run (US&UK) story wise are certainly worth it. Collectively they are the best Transformers G1 comic continuity and perhaps the best Transformers story altogether.

Its only comparable with the Beast Wars Canadian Cartoon when it comes to story telling, character development and complexity in the plot. However Marvel UK stories were much more mature and in your face when it comes to uncensored realism so their collective stories were superior as well as Furman's final US run. Many well developed characters would die during a battle spontaneously, some would have heroic deaths while others would just be tragic, just like a real war.

I loved the bits and pieces that they add to certain characters that I would have seen as bad cookie cutter characters in other continuities. Swoop is one of them. Aside from Grimlock he is the most developed Dinobot and I was shocked and awed to learn how he was once named Divebomb but now had to live with the shame that a Decepticon had stolen his name!
