Transformers Universe

In 1987, Marvel Comics launched Transformers Universe, a single-issue handbook that cataloged the mechanical heroes and villains of the ongoing Transformers comic series. Written primarily by Jim Salicrup, this reference guide profiled characters like Hoist, Jetfire, and Ratchet, offering detailed specs and backstory for fans of the original Marvel run. As a standalone encyclopedia rather than a narrative, it served as an essential snapshot of the franchise’s early lore, cementing its place as a key resource for dedicated readers.
