context_page_description: Transformers Universe is the title of several comic book series based on the Transformers series by Hasbro. The first comic book was printed in 1986 by Marvel Comics as a character guide, while later series printed by 3H Enterprises contained fiction for the Transformers: Universe toy line.
context_section_description: Transformers Universe refers to the four-issue limited series published by Marvel Comics in 1986 to showcase profiles of the most popular characters in the Transformers comic and cartoon series as well as The Transformers: The Movie. The series was requested by fans who were already familiar with Marvel's 12+ issues of Marvel Universe, which profiled the characters in alphabetical order. The four-issue run covered most Transformers used from 1984 to 1986 (only Bandai-made figures and those omitted from the American animated series were not shown). A series of Transformers Universe profiles were printed in the closing pages of most Transformers comics from issue #47 to #79. The later profiles covered popular characters in 1987 and 1988. The concept was revived in 2002 when Dreamwave Productions published Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye (and its sister title Transformers: Armada), this time carrying profiles for all "Generation 1" and "Armada" characters, both popular and obscure.
