So what if instead of The Transformers snoozing right through to the 1980s they'd woken up around a hundred years earlier? What if they all went a little Steam Punk? What if they meet John Henry and Mark Twain? What if it was all steam trains and biplanes? What if over the course of a four issue mini series the plot quite literally careers off the rails and into a ravine? We answer all these questions and more in the latest episode of We've Got Back Issues where Galactosh, Sleeves and special guest Michael Quintesson discuss The Transformers: Hearts of Steel from IDW Publishing.

A story of drugs smuggling rackets, rogue CIA agents, serial killers, Yakuza Assassins, Iranian arms deal, and coked up fish!

Transformers... THE Transformers the original Marvel run that started it all (sure there was a cartoon too but that was rubbish... kids stuff) is a bit of an obsession for Sleeves.

Reforming the same band of contributors that brought you an overstuffed look at Skybound's Transformers relaunch last year, Sleeves, Galactosh and special guests Virtual Dave and Michael Quintesson pore over the pages of The Transformers issues 5 to 8 reprinted in issues 22 to 28 of Marvel UK's fortnightly larger format comic.
