We received our copy of Transformers Animated issue 3 today from Titan Magazines. The comic contains two stories as usual an introduces another new character, Crossroads. Crossroads is a human super villain character, whom the Autobots send Prowl, Bulkhead and Afterburn after him.
The story uses an interesting "focus" technique in some of the frames, which works well, and the colouring of Jason Cardy is top notch (as always). The drawings, by TFA artist John McCrea follow the previous issues, and there is still something odd about the way Afterburn is drawn. The style is unique to the UK Transformers Animated comic, giving it it's own style.
Issue 3 of the UK Transformers Animated Comic is released UK wide tomorrow.
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.
