Notes
- As the full-page Next Issue proudly proclaims, from issue 27, The Transformers goes weekly, in full colour, and with a redesign. With this being the perfect jumping-on point for new readers, it falls to issue 26 to provide a clean break. Following last issue's finale of Planet Terry and between-volumes pause on Machine Man, this issue abruptly writes out The Chromobots. Additionally, this also becomes the first (and only!) issue of TFUK to print an entire story from The Transformers U.S., further facilitating the clean break (and saving having to fill pages by starting new back-up strips and features).
