Product Description

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 Fallen Angel storyline, which relates directly to the events of the DVD smash-hit Transformers: The Movie! Galvatron has yet again managed to jump back into Earth's past - but it looks like this time his circuits are really fried, as he initiates a plan to harness an explosion of unimaginable destructive power, and make himself a god! Now, it will take the combined power of the Dinobots, Ultra Magnus, Rodimus Prime and the Decepticons to stop him and save Earth - not to mention a certain crazy bounty hunter from the future - named Death's Head, yes?


About the Author

Simon Furman has written extensively for both comics and TV animation, including Alpha Flight, Death's Head, Beast Wars, X-Men: Evolution and The Roswell Conspiracies. He is currently producing the online comic The Engine. Geoff Senior has worked on Transformers, Death's Head and What If?

4.0 out of 5 stars Enter Death's Head, 22 Jan 2004
By Mr. J. R. Coupland (Somewhere on Earth) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
'Fallen Angel' is the first true chapter of Galvatron's trip into the past. 'Target:2006' is a stand alone tie-in to the Movie, with a definite beginning, middle and end (as well as a prologue and epilogue). It could have finished there. Sensibly, Simon Furman realised that it may as well not do, and he could use the characters and events to carve out his own storyline away from US continuity. So, following the end of 'Transformers: The Movie', Galvatron jumps back into the past again and triggers off a storyline which would run, on and off, for the next hundred plus issues of the comic.

Another notable thing to be said about the stories presented here is that 'Wanted: Galvatron, Dead or Alive', the second story, marked the debut of Simon Furman's Greatest Ever Creation, the legendary Death's Head. He couldn't have had a better introduction had he put a gun against Simon Furman's head and informed him to "make it good, yes?" At the close of 'Wanted...' Death's Head makes his mark, distressing many a Transformer fan through his actions...

The story also marks the UK debut of Goldbug, the new, improved form of Bumblebee (I always preferred his revamped form, anyway). In the US he had a vastly different origin in the Transformers - G.I. Joe crossover, but as that wasn't published un the UK (until strips were desperately needed), a UK-only origin was created, and one which ties in much better with the comic. Ultra Magnus and Galvatron clash again a number of times, with Galvatron now a lunatic following a number of brushes with death. Pleasingly, in 'Fallen Angel' itself, the great Dinobots show up to have their say.

The collection ends on a downbeat note, but everybody knew even then that the story wasn't over and, indeed, it had really only just begun. Scripting is great (obviously, from this author) and 'Burning Sky' marks the first Transformers artwork of Dan Reed, whose distinctive style (seemingly influenced by horror films, judging from his pictures of Decepticon faces) was very much an acquired taste. He was one of my personal favourites, although at one point he seemed to decide that Rodimus Prime would make a good Decepticon...

This is a fairly good starting point for new readers - as I said, it's really the first chapter of the Galvatron saga - but 'Target: 2006' is better. Still, Death's Head alone makes this storyline stand out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it!, 7 Dec 2002
Hey, loved this one like all the rest!

If your only experience of the UK Transformers strips so far has been the pretty confusing "Target 2006" then don't give up! This collection is much more coherant than the aforementioned one and stars the loveable bounty hunter Deaths Head!

Also the endings really cool and it really sets the scene fo the next collection...

Art wise the book is pretty varied, depending on which style you prefer. My personal favortie Geoff Senior is on top form as usual and in my opinion draws the best art in the book.

One thing to note this collection, like "Target 2006" comes in the "big" UK style.

4.0 out of 5 stars Galvatron's back, yes?, 2 Dec 2002
Fallen angel is the continuation, in the UK continuity, to the events of the movie. In comparison to the moive tie-in, Target 2006, Galvatron is not as rounded a character, instead being a one-dimensional loony who rants about his mad scheme. Although Ultra Magnus that is the main stay of the later part of the book, but by far and away the most impressive character is Death's Head. Cool and mean, his business like (obessed?) approach is a sharp and welcome comparison to the wordy and conscience driven speeches by the autobots. Rodimus Prime, in comparison, is a loser who doesn't seem to know what to do but messes it up anyway. In no way is he a successor to Optimius.
The art has a wide variation, the standout being, of course, fan favourite Geoff Senior, while most of the rest are adaquate. The writing is good, although long on worthy speeches or lunatic ramblings. However, don't feel that I'm damning the book with faint praise. It may be the nostagia that the book creates, but it is still one of the best and tightly written of the UK transformers stories, and deserves a place on the bookshelve of any transformers fan.
