Advert comic

The Transformers UK Appendix defines an "advert comic" as a piece of sequential art designed to advertise a product. With our philosophy being that a readthrough of The Transformers UK is incomplete without also absorbing its back-up material, advert comics fall under the purview of this wiki – especially in light of Captain Rik's Space Adventure being treated as a fully-fledged part of the comic in issue 105, despite being pretty transparently a promotion for Kellogg's.

While we do document these comics, they have no bearing on the wider robot universe.

Comic advert comics

In 1988, to try and claim legal ownership over Death's Head, Marvel UK published the strip that would come to be known as "High Noon Tex", a single-page comic telling a full – if brief – story. This seemingly opened the floodgates, as editors all over the company apparently all realised they could advertise their comics with comic adverts, resulting in one-pagers galore.

Unlike the branded advert comics above, these Marvel adverts qualify as valid robot universe appearances for characters and concepts.
