Are you big on Transformers comics? If yes, and if you have a spotty collection, the time has come to right the wrong. Folks, meet the ultimate Transformers comics collection, The Transformers Compendium Set by Skybound Entertainment.
Each hardcover beast holds 1,000 to 1,200 pages of glorious 1980s storytelling from both the US and UK runs, all wrapped in faux leather that’s more collector’s vault than bookshelf filler. These editions are Kickstarter exclusives, which means no store hunts or reprint regrets.
For the ultra-fan, the Til All Are One Box Set combines both runs into a seamless reading experience—complete with new art from Daniel Warren Johnson. Backers can pick Autobot or Decepticon versions (or both if you’re feeling chaotic), with extra bonuses like tech spec cards, challenge coins, patches, and even signed editions by Transformers legends Simon Furman and Bob Budiansky.
The campaign runs through May 7, with pricing and rewards that transform faster than a cassette tape into a robot. It’s more than meets the bookshelf, and yes—it’s real. OK, maybe virtual bookshelf included because it is also offered in digital PDFs for as low as 60 bucks for the US or UK Compendiums, or 120 dollars for both UK and US Compendiums.
Obviously, a true fan will need a tangible product fit for their Transformers shrine, and if that’s what you are into, then be prepared to splurge. You are looking at US$150 to a grand 900 dollars—depending on how fancy you want to get.
