Which US & UK comics weren't collected in any TPBs?

Since the Titan Books TPBs of a few years ago collected the majority of the American Marvel comics runs, I was curious as to which issues weren't collected? Also, are there any issues of the United Kingom Transformers comics that we never got overe here?

I know its a tall order, but I can't figure out which American issues correspond to the UK issues, and vice-versa.

I'm trying to build a complete collection, naturally

Hey, thanks a lot! That helps out a TON. Incidentally though, what does.... this.. mean?

Note: several of these story arcs were reprinted in
a Collected Comics line by Marvel during the 80s,
giving additional opportunities to track them down.

I followed the link but couldn't make heads of tales. Does this mean that some of those other UK issues were collected elsewhere? If so, whereabouts?

Man of Iron, Enemy Within and Crisis of Command are collected in those. The first two are also quite beatufilly coloured.

so's the third.

its just that it was already beautifaully coloured so they didn't have to change it.

That's what I meant.

I bet that even if Titan reprinted Man of Iron they'd use those inferior version US issues.

sadly i suspect you are right.

as an aside - dear God i love senior's art on the first 2 issues of Crisis.
