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.
Just a quick reminder that the 16th issue of Titan Magazines' Transformers comic is out today, so make sure you pick up the comic from your local stockest.
To help support the second longest running UK Transformers comic you may want to order a subscription to the comic. This can be done online, in the post or via your local newsagent. becareful if you try to order a subscription online though, as Titan Magazine's subscription service for the comic does not work properly. Although we have informed Titan of the problems, they remain unable to fix the problem.
To make things more confussing your order will be processes as normal, you just won't receive any confimation of the order. If you speak to Titan you'll get a generic answer about their being a problem, though they won't actually look into it.
We're sticking with the old fashioned way of buying it from the shops, which means that Titan miss out on the extra revenue, but at least we can get the comic that way.
I've just picked up out copy of the issue, so here's a little summary of what you'll find in the UK Transformers Issue 12.

Simon Furman has updated his blog with information on the latest issue of Transformers (the comic by Titan Magazines) which is due for release on Thursday (tomorrow).
Out this week (Jan 31st), in the UK only,
is issue #8 of Titan’s Transformers comic/magazine. As usual, in
amongst the features, free gifts and general fabulousness, there’s an
all-new, UK-original comic strip to be found.
This one, featuring
Ironhide and an elite Special Forces unit, is set in the immediate
aftermath of the movie and takes the action back to Qatar, where the
lethal Scorponok was last seen burrowing deep beneath the desert sand
to escape an aerial bombardment. That particular loose end is (over)due
to get wrapped up in spectacular style, but things don’t quite go as
planned for Autobot and escort! Story is by me, art by Staz Johnson
(doing his first Transformers work since… I don’t know when!).
The
issue (as well as the continuing saga of Beast Wars and the Movie
Prequel) contains a Bonecrusher character profile, a lesson in How To
Draw Bumblebee and the usual reader letters & art. Plus, free TF
tattoos and sweat band! For a look at the cover and some of Staz’s epic
interior strip art, click on the link and thumbnail (respectively)
below. And watch this space for upcoming details of US happenings in
the UK movie-verse direction!

You'll find a few images taken on Day 1 of the
London Film and Comic-con which took place at Earls Court in London in our Convention Images area. The pictures include the amazing poster by Geoff Senior featuring Deaths Head.
Warning - the images are dark due to the poor lighting at the event. There are also only 19 as there was actually very little to photograph.
We'll add a review of the Titan UK Transformers Comic Issue three, which was on advance sale at the event, a little later.
Issue 2 of Titan Magazines Transformers comic is out this week, featuring the second part of the IDW Beast Wars and Transformers Movie Preview story (that's the second half of the first US Comic) as well as an all new story written by Simon Furman and drawn by Nich Roche featuring Transformers Movie Megatron, as a Spotlight story.
Speaking of the comic, Simon Furman has updated his blog with an
image from the issue,as well as
comments.
The wait is nearly over!!!! Transformers Comic issue 1 goes on-sale tomorrow in the UK!
This 4-weekly, 52 page comic reunites some of the biggest names in the business to bring the eternal struggle between Autobots and Decepticons to
audiences old and new.
Quote from Steve White, editor, Transformers Comic:
"It's been great working on the launch issue, which has gone amazingly well.
We managed to pull together a great classic team from the Transformers comic
past and bring it bang up to date by immersing it in mythos of the new movie
- and bring in a whole new generation of fans!"
