The Top Ten Issues of the Marvel Comics Transformers Series Part II
posted October 29, 2009 - 8:41pmHasbro's Transformers are more than just toys — they are now an undeniable part of pop culture. The Marvel Comics Transformers series published from 1984–1990 is a big part of that. Here is part II of our countdown of the top ten Marvel Comics Transformers issues.< p>
9. Transformers #79: “The Last Autobot” — The Sunbow Transformers cartoon series quickly forgot characters after their accompanying toy had been discontinued, but this focus on Fortress Maximus’ battle against Galvatron exemplifies the Marvel Comics’ series tendency to continue focusing on the best Transformers characters even after they had no figure on the market. Spike Witwicky comes to terms with his calling as earth’s defender while human refugees on Cybertron discover the planet’s last hope.
8. Transformers #7: “Warrior School” — One of the things Bob Budiansky did best in his early work on the Transformers comic series was to take characters that were largely forgettable on the television screen and make them star players in the comic book. Autobot medic Ratchet shines in this issue far greater than he ever did in the Transformers animated show as he stands against alone the mighty Decepticon leader Megatron and must fight a losing battle for the restoration of the Autobots.
