The Transformers (manga)

Published between 1986 and 1987, The Transformer manga series featured the cast of Transformers 2010 (the Japanese name for the 3rd season of the US television series) yet oddly did not share the same title.

Like the Japanese version of the animated series, the manga takes place in the year 2010 as opposed to 2006. Like the Super Robot Lifeform manga, the "2010" manga is a suppliment to the animated series, often filling in gaps in the story-telling or continuing occasional plots.

A few items of note:


 * Galvatron unleashes a horde of Megatron clones called the Megatron Military which are actuall just drones.
 * Starscream's Ghost teams up with the Quintessons and is given a new body dubbed Guiltar.
 * The Transformers first visit the planet Feminia which would later be seen in the Zone OVA.
