Like the other titles in Titan's Digest Size Transformers line, Earthoforce is a book I'd reccomend only to someone who's immersed themselves in the TF mythos. Simon Furman delivers his usual splendid writing, and the art is certainly on par with other Transformers comics of the era. Personally, I enjoyed it, but not as much as some of the other Digest titles.

Of the four Titan b&w collections released thus far, this one is the most humorous and light-hearted. Most of the stories aren't too elaborate, as the writers and artists weren't sure when the Transformers comic would be ending, so what we have here are numerous single-issue or two-issue stories, which is fine in that it makes it easier for someone to read them without a whole lot of knowledge of the other plots that were running through the series. The emphasis of these stories is focused on the classic characters (i.e. Prowl, Grimlock, Megatron, Soundwave, etc.) who had lost the limelight in the U.S. series to various "master" and pretender characters. There is plenty of action and verbal wit, and we get to see Grimlock and Powermaster Optimus Prime duke it out!

The best quote of this collection comes when Wheeljack and Prowl scale a plateau to investigate Megatron's latest scheme:

Prowl: Nnf! Should find the answer up here.
Wheeljack: Big deal! Probably some microheadtargetmaster with a pretender shell!
