Complete list of Fun Publications profiles

Unlike those listed on the Transformers Timelines page, this list sorts the characters more by continuity than by associated storyline and gives the issue numbers for every single profile. Rather than delete this mapping altogether, I thought I'd move it here for future reference.

Universe / Robots in Disguise / Unicron Trilogy

Fifteen profiles were published in the first two years of the magazine, covering basically all of the main characters from Balancing Act and Revelations. Quickslinger's bio wasn't a MTMTE-style one, but rather a short preview for the custom how-to feature which would appear in issue #7.

Classics

When the main story arc changed universe in 2007, so too did the profiles. Slag and the Headmasters got profiles in #22, Topspin (who isn't really from the Classicsverse, but rather a G2 one of some sort) in #25. When Beast Wars Shattered Glass and Another Light brought some Classics characters back to the fore, they started getting profiles again starting with issue #50. Grimlock has the unique distinction of being given three different profiles as part of three different storylines!

TransTech

Two profiles were each published in #22-24 of the magazine as part of "The World of... TRANSTECH," which featured a unique design and layout but was textually almost indistinguishable from the regular MTMTE profiles. A few lowtech denizens of Axiom Nexus got normal profiles later: Blackarachnica and Topspin in #25; "Hero Prime" and Depth Charge in #49; Rhinox in #54.

Shattered Glass

Starting in issue #25, bios were published for Shattered Glass characters. Three profiles were published in issues #25-28 and two each in #29-30 (from #25 and #30, only Whisper and Megatron are listed here; the others are not strictly Shattered Glass characters). This notably included the first time the physical size of the profiles deviated from the full-page norm - Sky Lynx, Computron and Abominus got most of two pages while Ravage, Steeljaw and Ratbat were left with less than half a page each. Another Light gave some more characters the chance to get profiles, but the last two were squashed together at the bottom of one page: they got names, art, faction symbols, mottos, and nothing else. In 2011, a contest was held on Twitter to decide Scourge's bio - the winning submission was expanded into a full-sized MTMTE-style profile released online.

Wings Universe

Profiles for Wings Universe characters started being published with issue #31, with a steady rate of two profiles per issue. A couple of profiles for organics were released as part of Tornado's personal journal in issue #56, plus two regular profiles in issue #58, as a tie-in to "Hoist the Flag"

Beast Wars: Uprising

Although profiles for Beast Wars: Uprising characters had appeared before as part of the TransTech storylines, issue #55 saw the first dedicated profiles dedicated wholly to the universe.

Of Masters and Mayhem

Profiles for various characters appearing in the Of Masters and Mayhem storyline were published starting with issue #67.

Other MTMTE-style profiles

Nexus Prime is made up of a single character from each of the first five-story arcs. A single profile for some Transformers Animated characters (Nightbeat, Siren and Hosehead) was given in the magazine's second-to-last issue; this would be the last profile published by the club magazine.

Diamond Edition profiles

The BotCon exclusive Timelines issues would get mass-retail releases. These versions of the comics usually contained extra profiles and bonus material, with the exception of The Stunti-Con Job which included The AllSpark Almanac Addendum instead and Invasion which included "Invasion Prologue" instead.

Micro-Sized Profiles

Starting with issue #13, profiles for Mini-Cons were published on the "Micro-Sized" page of the magazine. The "Micro-Sized" banner was dropped for the issues featuring the Classics Mini-Cons. This feature ended with #18, but Whisper got a full MTMTE-style profile in issue #25 and three more Mini-Cons received small profiles on the back pages of issues #31-33. Snarl and Divebomb's bios were previewed online in the same format as those last three.

Online Mini-Con Profiles

A large amount of short profiles for various other Mini-Cons were released in the members-only section of the club website:

"Theft of the Golden Disk"

In issues #13 and #14, profiles for the MCSF from Theft of the Golden Disk were published. Stopgap's profile was the exception to this; it was instead added to the members-only section of the Club website. The last two MCSF members, Nitrostreak and Tigatron, didn't get profiles as they only appeared in Dawn of Future's Past. Meanwhile, MTMTE-style profiles were also published online for Cryotek and his minions Backslash, Dirge and Buzzbomb.

Animated Tech Specs

Written by Derrick J. Wyatt, these Tech Specs were published starting with ten in issue #24 and two in each of issues #25-30. Six new Tech Specs and four reprints were published years later in issue #71. All twenty-eight of these plus twenty-four extras were also released as a BotCon 2011 exclusive lithograph.

Other

A single Tech Spec for INSIRT was released online. Thundercracker was to receive a Wings Universe bio card for his Action Master form, but when that figure was released as Shattered Glass Thundercracker instead the bio was shelved and later published in non-canonical form in issue #42. On its last day, the club's Twitter would release four profiles repurposing the BotCon 2015 Waruders as other characters: Bug Bite, King Waruder, Skywasp and Shattered Glass Waspinator. Trickshot's bio was never published on the Transformers Collectors' Club website like that of his teammates, but it did get written. Make of that what you will.
