{{quote|Four million years ago, they came from '''Cybertron''', a world composed entirely of machinery... a world torn by an age-old war between the heroic '''Autobots''' and the evil '''Decepticons'''.

The comic was initially set in the main [[Marvel Universe]], but soon moved to a separate [[Alternate Universe]] along with the ''[[G.I.

Most of the early issues were written by Bob Budiansky; he and his successor, Simon Furman, would end up having more influence on the overall ''Transformers'' mythos than anyone else.

* [[Alternate Continuity]]/[[Alternate Universe]]: Canonically, the US and UK stories take place in different universes. ''Earthforce'' seems to be in a third universe.

** This is also how the Marvel comics relate to the original cartoon and [[Transformers Generation 1|the rest of Generation 1]].
