I don't necessarily agree about there being better versions of the Marvel Transformers years than the Titan editions. Those have the original colouring while the more recent IDW offerings use redone colours that were farmed out on the cheap rather than done in house. I have the Hachette hardbacks that put in the UK originated material more or less in order (barring a single issue that got missed out) and includes the stuff that never made it into any of the Titan books (Man of Iron, Big broadcast, Movie adaptation, Action Force crossover) but uses the IDW colouring on the US material so I've kept my Titan versions as well. Very glad the later UK material was coloured by John Paul Bove for the Hachette books though, I only picked up the first couple of the digest sized Titan collections of the later stuff and the rest of them have gotten crazy expensive since.
That's very interesting! I did not realize all the differences between editions. I'm glad that I have so many titan editions. Do you know of a list somewhere so I can figure out what I'm missing? Not that I need anything else to looks for! lol
@@plpiro While Titan had the license they put out 4 sets of books, the main two in both hardback and paperback versions. The US Marvel run was collected as 16 books, Beginnings, New Order, Showdown, Breakdown, Treason, Trial By Fire, Maximum Force, Dark Star, Last Stand, Primal Scream, Matrix Quest, All Fall Down, End Of The Road, Dark Designs and Rage In Heaven. That collects almost all of the 80 issue run (no Man Of Iron and Big Broadcast Of 2006), the Headmasters limited series and the Generation 2 series from the 90s. Not included are the Movie adaptation, the Universe profiles, the GI Joe crossover mini, the lead in GI Joe issues that set up G2 and the Halloween special preview story for G2. These are all standard US trim size and look to be the set that you already have in the paperbacks. The second set are in a larger European album format and collect the colour UK strips from Furman coming aboard as writer through to the end of the full colour stories. 9 books here Dinobot Hunt, Second Generation, Target 2006, Prey, Fallen Angel, City Of Fear, Legacy Of Unicron, Space Pirates and Time Wars (with the colours redone on the one page that had inverted colour mapping originally, not something they managed to do with the couple of late run US pages that had the same problem). Still no Man Of Iron since that was pre Furman and only part colour and no Race With The Devil which was presented as two coloured parts and two black and white when the budget dropped so didn't fit here but got put in the B&W digests. I think all of the original strips from the hardback UK annuals make it in. Third set, these only in paperback are the little digests with the black and white UK strips. Only 5 of these, Aspects Of Evil, Way Of The Warrior, Perchance To Dream, Fallen Star and Earthforce. Some really fun outings in the five page format that these were run in as back up stories originally but silly expensive nowadays. Last set of 3 paperbacks are called Transformers Adventures, not Marvel era, these collect the UK originated material from the live action movie era UK comics. All told Titan put out a fair amount.
@@gavinbannister4263 this is fantastic! Thank you so much for getting this information to me. Very helpful. I imagine a lot of these are hard to find now but I may want to track some I don’t have downs. But I’m more than pleased that I have most of brag original run.
First, you made no mistake if you like them! I like some runs with oversized art. If it’s an omnibus it’s oversized and a complete run which is what I prefer.
@@plpiro oh I had no idea, I am a big Superman fan as well, currently going through the Byrne run.. Do you know are there any must-read collections leading into Doomsday clock? Or does it pretty much stand-alone.
@@TheComicBookReport I’m going to read the Byrne run soon myself. For Doomsday clock at least having some knowledge of Watchmen helps. You could read that, The Rebirth one shot, and the Batman/Flash: The Button. Those help but idk if I’d say they are totally necessary for Doomsday Clock. I think they intended them to be but didn’t quite connect as well as they should have.
Geoff johns green lantern is just on a different level
You are so right. One of my top all time runs!
Awesome collection.
Love the collection. Thanks for sharing
Love your Lemire section! Great video.
Thanks so much! He is definitely a favorite.

great collection!
i know I am quite randomly asking but does anybody know a good website to watch newly released series online ?
@Gustavo Tomas I would suggest FlixZone. You can find it by googling :)
But awesome collection thinking about getting into omnis myself also
Is there a reason why you prefer hardcovers over trade paper back? I feel like I did a mistake because I just bought all the Geoff John GL run in TPB

Great collection thanks for sharing! How was Doomsday Clock?
Thank you! I enjoyed it very much. It’s not as much of a watchmen follow up as it is a Superman story. I’m a big Superman fan so I don’t mind that.
