On this episode of TransMissions Declassified, we go back to the story roots of the Transformers – the G1 Marvel Comics. Comics nerds Charles and Yoshi are joined by special guests Andrew Turnbull and Stuart Webb to discuss their love of these classic comics, and how they’ve influenced Transformers storytelling throughout its thirty-year history.

This is a short teaser. The full episode is available exclusively to our supporters on the TransMissions Patreon!

Huge thanks to Andrew Turnbull and Stuart Webb! Check out Andrew’s fan comic adaptation of the G1 UK Annual story Another TIme and Place and his webcomic The Daily Straxus. Andrew is also on the TFNation team, the UK’s premiere Transformers fan convention.

Check out Stuart on the Transformers podcast Podcast Maximus and his blog, Transformation, exploring all the G1 UK comics (which can also be bought in book form!). Also, in his discussion of UK issue #288, Stuart finds a feedback letter sent from a young James Roberts!

And finally, take a look at Yoshi’s quest to make contact with all the people who had letters published in the G1 Transformers comic TransMissions letters page.

You can find out more about the Marvel Transformers G1 comics on the TFWiki.
