New Transformers Royal Mail Stamps Available to Preorder Now

One set being the iconic clash of Arcee and Soundwave...

My sister in law has ordered these for me.

I keep trying to order them but it always says "failure to order"

I beleive theese are based on the marvel comics. Megatron's helmet is black. That's obviously bumblebee from before he died and got rebuilt into goldbug in the G.I. Joe crossover. And where else have we seen grimlock vs shockwave (except maybe foc). But what's with soundwave and arcee?

They just wanted to have a bunch of main autobots and decepticons and have them fight eachother. It doesn't relate to a scene or a battle or even a rivalry in particular.

All the other rivalries did happen.

The problem is, Arcee never had a rivalry. None of the Fembots did in G1, as far as I can recall?

So to include them in this kind of thing. Basically you can pair her up with anyone, because it doesn't matter.

I don't know what is wrong with the G1 toon, if it wasn't for that this website would not exist today as comics alone would not have been enough to sustain this toy line going through the years consistently.

The battle with Megatron and Prime with the axe and mace did not happen in the US Marvel comics, that happened in the cartoons first 3 part series over hoover dam.
Grimlock vs shockwave could be in the savage land from the Marvel comics issue #8.

The only thing that ties the directly to the comics is it looks like the artwork of Andrew Wildman, Stephen Baskerville and Nel Yomtov.


And before anyone says it,

The fact-filled pack is compiled by Transformers comic book writer James Roberts and delves into the background stories and attributes of each featured character.

This does NOT mean they are directly from comic book stories, he just talks about the background of each character.

His work is more recent, if anything they should have gotten Simon Furman to write it.

No one said there was anything wrong with the G1 toon?

To me, the comment read that it was cool that original pieces of "classic" artwork were used. As opposed to mere stills from the show.

I read it a bit differently.

Yes..? Did I need to repeat what I said under the quoted text?

Nope I edited my last post to show what I mean in bold.
I read it that as there is something wrong with the G1 show.

I am glad someone else noticed as that was the first thing that popped in my head when I saw them.

That's kind of the point. There was nothing wrong in what was written, but how it was read.

Nothing is wrong with the G1 cartoon, when did I say it was? Wasn't the savage land in the comics? Even if some of these didn't happen in the comic, they are drawn in the old comic style. I believe bumblebee with a million guns pointed at him is also from the comics.

Ok and it was the way I read it, so many are down on the toon especially on Reddit. Savage land was from Marvel, that is where Kazar and Devil Dinosaur lived, it is where the Dinobots confronted Shockwave. The other 3 stamps were comic style and the book was Marvel Uk. Maybe they tried a flair from every continuity on the stamps.

Thus is the problem with the internet, you don't hear inflection in voices and tones so things can get read the wrong way.

Yes, I believe I've heard about the savage land in one of Chris Mcfeely's the basic videos. I don't know where you read the G1 cartoons sucks, maybe you were reading the bay verse fan opinions. I will admit the G1 cartoon had a few issues, but it was being assembled, written and recorded at the same time, writers couldn't think ahead too much. It's the first transformers show ever, so that gives it a lot of leeway. I enjoy what it has to offer. Reminds me of how everyone says BW animation sucks while it won awards and was the best for the time and they had to INVENT new technology to make it.


I always loved the blocky G1 designs the most. They were nice, clean, and simple. Easy to draw.
But this doesn't mean I can't appreciate other shows too (Cyberverse was fun , and the Bumblebee movie)

Back to what I was saying, I can't tell the original comics apart. The art style is pretty much the exact same. But I can confirm ALL of them were drawn in the comic style. And that is COOL, I expresss no contempt or dislike of the G1 cartoon or comics. And I'm sure the bumblebee "firing squad" was from the G.I. Joe crossovers, correct me if I'm wrong

Sorry my message was so long. I'm sure there are already 3 replies to you already....

Optimus Prime turned up on a letter at my work today which was quick seeing as they were only released yesterday plus strikes and what not.


No signs of a used Slag yet....o.O



I'll be cutting out and keeping all the transformers ones that I get, covid be damned hahahaha
