With the popularity of the Transformers toy line and a new animated series, Marvel Comics saw an opportunity to publish the robots in disguise in comic books in 1984. The comics were originally intended to be a 4-issue limited series, but were expanded into an ongoing series, which ran for 80 issues. This youth Transformers shirt features a poster promoting the comic books. The poster shows Megatron, Optimus Prime, Starscream and Bumblebee.
