What's that site where you can read the old TF comic books?

Over the last 25 years the Transformers have appeared in media from the exquisite to the scribbled and been licensed to the responsible and the... Pat Lee. Discussion of all the branches of TF media within!

It had G1 (American and British versions) as well as G2 and Headmasters. I know it was on some sort of Transfans thing but I can't find that site anymore.

Pretty much all the sites that used to have comprehensive scans no longer do because Hasbro threatened to sue. There are a few sites that have scans of a few stories, but that's all. If you want a complete set of scans, you'll have to get hold of one of those CDs of scans that pop up most of the time on ebay.

The site you're thinking of is most likely this one. We dropped the scans.

Some nice scans are available at www.oneshallstand.com .

Or DC++

You can find all these scans on Cartoons&Comics hub. I know, I did.

But I owe most of the UK scans to Transfans! So hip-hip-hurray for you guys! :D

Erm... BB I don't think we're supposed to name it right out like that. And DC++ is based on the Peer-To-Peer tech. I'm currently getting an absolutely insane amount of non-swedish publication comics from that very hubb.

I migth as well mention that the equally nifty invention that is BitTOrrent also features some very nifty stuff like this. :o Oh, and there's always the exclusive IRC-channels, that acctually do most of the acctual scanning. The scans then trickle out rather quickly to other parts.

Uh.. what??!! Comic-shops?? No such thing! :D

(and none a yah come give me any of that BS about direct-subscriptions from the publishers... or ordering from a comic-store 40 miles away.. wich get's it's stuff from the other side of the bleedin' atlantic. You may be made up of money, others are NOT.)
