The Transformers is an 80-issue American comic book series published by Marvel Comics telling the story of the Transformers. Originally scheduled as a four-issue miniseries, it spawned a mythology that would inform other versions of the saga.
US title
Issues
Writers
From issue #56, the by then well-known writer of Transformers Marvel UK, Simon Furman took over the reins, having been asked by Marvel US, after Budiansky had grown tired of the comic.
UK title
The US run also inspired a Marvel UK sister title that spliced original stories into the continuity, running for 332 issues (September 1984 – July 1991).
''The Transformers: Regeneration One''
In July 2011, it was announced that IDW Publishing has signed up Simon Furman, Andrew Wildman and Stephen Baskerville (Wildman's Transformers inker) to make a continuation of the Marvel Transformers comic, consisting of 20 issues from #81 to #100 (July 2012 – March 2014), titled The Transformers: Regeneration One.
