Issue 6 of the UK Transformers comic, from Titan Magazines, was released on Thursday 6th December 2007 and was dubbed as "The Movie Special". This was because its release coincided with
the UK (Region 2) release of the first live action Transformers movie onto DVD. The
issue's free gift was a "Tactical Target Shooter".
The issue was made up of the following sections:
1) Prelude: Jazz
2) Character Profile: Starscream
3) Competition for the new Hasbro UK Transformers Shop
3) IDW Movie Prequal Part 6
4) Movie Special interviews with Shia La Beof and Megan Fox
5) Beast Wars: The Gathering Part 6
6) Top Gear
7) Mech Mail
8) Next Issue Preview
Prelude: Jazz
The name of the strip is actually Lost In Space - Part 4, and it was written by Simon Furman with art by Marcelo Matere, Colours by Liam Shalloo and Lettering by Betancourt / Comiccraft.
After the great art from Issue 5, the art in this strip take a step backward, however it is still must better than issues 1 to 4. The artwork is let down in places
by the colouring, though overall it still remains the second best UK exclusive strip in terms of artwork. The story revolves around Jazz though it does also feature Bonecrusher, Ironhide and Ratchet.
Movie Prequal Part 6
The reprint of the IDW Transformers Movie prequal continues for another seven pages and includes the part where Sector Seven find the AllSpark.
The interviews with Shia La Beouf and Megan Fox are by Abbie Beanstein and will probably go down well with kids especially with the Movie now out on DVD.
There is another seven pages of Beast Wars The Gathering and ends with Magmatron recovering the spark of Ravage.
This is followed by the magazines third competition, this time for a watch as well as a nice ad for Forbidden Planet.
There are four pages of letters and artwork with a usual mix of kids and older fans letters being printed.
Website of the month this time goes to the Titan Transformers MySpace site, and finally the issue ends with a preview of the cover for Issue 7, which will be about Starscream and will come
with a free lenticular notepad. Issue 7 hits shops on the 3rd of Jan 2008.
