Product Description: Continuing Titan's bestselling Transformers collections, this never-before-collected reprint of the extremely hard-to-find Transformers UK comic material collects the Target: 2006 storyline, which relates directly to the events of the DVD smash-hit Transformers: The Movie! Ultra Magnus, Autobot leader in 2006, is torn between two missions - to help his fellow autobots in a last-ditch strike, or to help rescue a vanished Optimus Prime - and to confront Galvatron, who has returned in time to 1986, with deadly plans for the future! Add Megatron, Starscream, and a cast of thousands into the mix - and you've got a recipe for all-out Transformers action!
A Must for Any Transfan "Target: 2006" is the story arc that fully propelled the UK Transformer comics into the limelight; talk to any Transformer fan, and they'll probably tell you that the UK stories were vastly superior to the US comics at the time. "Target: 2006" is a testimony to this.
The story is quiet different from the US staple, and introduced many characters that the US readers never got to meet: Ultra Magnus, Springer, and the Wreckers, just to name a few.
Basically, Galvatron goes back in time to create a machine of mass destruction and then use it against Unicron in the past; from there, Galvatron will be free of Unicron's influence, and can rule the Decepticons without his interference.
Highlights of the storyline include the fight between Galvatron and Megatron, the introduction of Ultra Magnus, and Starscream's betrayal of both Megatron and Galvatron.
The art is very accurate to the toys, except when it comes to Ironhide, Ratchet, and Bumblebee, who are all drawn to reflect their cartoon versions.
This book is great for both young and old Transformer fans.
This is where it all kicks off! This book collects the opening story of the UK comic's long-running Galvatron saga, which came to an end with the last issues of the US comic. This is a companion piece to Transformers: The Movie, as the plot interweaves with that of the film. Here, Galvatron jumps back to 1985 in order to improve his situation in the future, with disasterous results. Simon Furman, well into his stride as writer by the time of this plot, threw away the Transformers rulebook. By using the Movie characters, Furman was no longer shackled by the US comic continuity, and let loose. Hardly a page goes by without some shocking event, or an event that makes the fanboy in you sit back and go "that's cool!". The art is spectacular, showing up the art of the US comics, and fully conveying the intensity of this storyline. This is complex, mature and astonishingly well-executed stuff that you really shouldn't miss.
Good This is a collection of the Target: 2006 Storyline of the UK Transformers comics. I enjoyed this graphic novel alot. Although, neither this or 'Fallen Angel' can ever be better than the last issue's of the US comic(by far my favorite). Pick this up if you have already read this US comics (if not get those first).
The Best Transformers Story ever told! This is the best Transformers comic book story ever told! Target 2006 was written by Simon Furman, with Art By Jeff Anderson, Will Simpson and Ron Smith! But the Best UK Transformers artwork is done by Geoff Senior! Ultra Magnus, Autobot Leader of 2006 travels back in time to 1986 stop Galvatron,Cyclonus, and Scourge from creating a weapon of distructive power that could destroy the Chaos-Bringer Unicron! These characters came from the epic saga of Transformers the Movie! on the back of the book it says "In Target 2006, Arch-Decepticon Leader Galvatron travels back in time to lay the foundations for the future destruction! With Optimus Prime missing, feared dead. Cybertrons greatest Hero, Ultra Magnus maybe Earth's last hope! These Books reprint Transformers UK #78-88! Highly Recommended!
