The UK Exclusive Transformers Animated comic, but Titan Magazines, is out today. To mark the occasion Simon Furman updated his blog with some information.
Out today (October 23rd) is the first issue of the UK’s very own Transformers Animated comic. Each issue features an all-new 11-page comic strip created exclusively for the UK, the first of which introduces an all-new Autobot character, one who’ll make a big impact on TFA universe as the story unfolds. The first story, ‘Burnout’, is written by me and drawn by John McCrea, with colour by Kat Nicholson.
What else? Well, lots! More comic adventures with the adaptation of the TV episode ‘Blast From the Past’ (introducing the TFA Dinobots!), puzzles, features, part 2 of the ‘Many Faces of Optimus Prime’ poster/feature (part 1’s in Transformers #17, also on sale now) competitions much, much more. Oh, and a FREE wrist-mounted missile blaster. Everyone should have one!

The character which was originally named Sideswipe has also been rebranded as Burnout for the comic, which includes a rename of the script as well. it is unknown if the name Sideswipe was just an original idea for the character / story, or whether the change was down to Hasbro's injuction.
