Transformers UK 300
Marvel UK's Transformers issue 300 was the last time we would see a wrap around cover poster as the comic was unfortunately cancelled 32 issues later before it could reach 350.

Transformers UK 200
Marvel UK continues it's tradition of a wrap around cover poster every 50 issues of Transformers with issue 200, containing one of the final parts of the epic Time Wars storyline. Inside we see the Autobot Wreckers and Decepticon Mayhem Attack Squad combine forces to combat Megatron and his future incarnation, Galvatron. Meanwhile Rodimus Prime with the help of Optimus tries to unite the rest of the Autobots and Decepticons past and present to take on the threat Galvatron poses to the universe.

Transformers UK 171
Marvel UK's Transformers issue 171 caused somewhat of a stir with it's cover featuring a poster announcing ''Tonight only! From the planet Mil-Wal....Hooligan vs Ultra Magnus''. Fans of Millwall football club took exception to the insinuation that football hooliganism was rife on the terraces at the Den, thought it's track record in this regard was hardley spotless and the club had a reputation for trouble at the time.
