When T2006 was released in the UK there was a TV advert showing Galvatron riding Magnus down the motorway...

Right, does anyone remember this, or did I imagine it?

Sorry Impy, can't say I remember that.
But my memory is *****...

I don't remember a T2006 advert on the tv.

The only time I ever remember the comic being mentioned on the tv was an advert for #113. Probably because it had Roddy on the cover and a competition to win him.

However, saying that, it does seem likely that they'd have a tv advert tie-in for "The New Leaders" given their prominence in the comic at the time.

Good thing to, as by that time, I think, the cartoon had moved to bloody Sky!

Simon Furman was interviewed on a kids show once. Get Fresh I think.

Silly question, Mark: it wasn't this you were thinking of, was it?

Thats not what i was thinking off but its pretty cool!

Still, I now know im not going mad because on my Interweb travels, i found this:

http://www.toplessrobot.com/2010/06/a_t ... _never.php

Scroll down the page a bit and someone says:

"I have literally thousands of comics, maybe even tens of thousands, and it was the TV ad for Transformers' Target 2006 that kicked it all off for me. I can still remember the ad (it was pretty much just reused footage from the cartoon) and that particular storyline still stands up for me as one the best comics I own. "

I think hes wrong, the animation was bespoke for the TV advert and features Galvy riding Magnus just like the comic... I will find it!

Did they interview him? I remember them waving about issue 113 with Roddy looking badass on the cover and asking some poor band if they cared about the fate of Rodimus Prime, to which i think they mumbled some non commital response.

Saw this--a TV commercial for Headmasters that mentions the Marvel comic, and makes it sound a whole lot cooler than it actually was:

Victor Caroli makes anything sound GREAT. "Coming soon, from Marvel Comics" sounds like a threat, not a promise.

Prowl around on Youtube, and you'll see the commercial for issue 42, as well. "It's great to be back!"
