The Transformers: The Complete Works, Part 2 is the second of two hardback books published by Marvel UK, almost identical in format to the Annuals.

Part 2 reprints the contents of the third and fourth issues of the Marvel US The Transformers series in full colour, previously published in the UK in issues #4-8 of the Marvel UK Transformers comics as a mixture of black & white and colour pages, and in the first two issues of Transformers Collected Comics.

Uniquely amongst the printings, however, is the altered ending of "The Last Stand". In this version, Shockwave never strikes and the series ends with Optimus Prime declaring the Decepticons defeated once and for all.

Some have theorized that this ending was created by the US comics in case the series failed to progress past issue #4. Others disagree, claiming it must have been created by uncredited artists working for Marvel UK as the art on these panels, particularly a closeup of Optimus Prime's face in the very final panel, is markedly different from Springer's. However, while the stylized corners of the text balloons in the final two panels are drawn slightly differently from the rest of the issue (with straight lines forming the "stars," unlike the other text balloons in which the edges of the "stars" in the corners are slightly curved), the handwriting therein is very much the same as the previous panels.

Contents

• Inside covers - artwork of Optimus Prime and Megatron in robot and alternate modes with Cybertron in the background. Inside the front cover, this is overlaid with a brief prehistory of how the war came to start on Cybertron which namechecks great warriors such as Prowl, Jazz and Sideswipe for the "noble Autobots" and Ravage, Soundwave and Starscream for the "fearsome Decepticons".
• "Prisoner of War!"
• "The Last Stand" (w/ alternate ending - see above)

Cover

• Reuse of UK issue #56's cover showing Megatron tearing up the Decepticons' Wyoming base, by Robin Smith.
