If I may ask, how did you read the marvel UK comics?
(I'll be copying and pasting some of an answer I gave to someone else who asked me this once.)
To find the comics, search for “Transformers Marvel UK comics read online” or something like that in a search engine, and you can add a number afterward for a specific issue. The UK comics run includes all the US stories, but with lots of unique material as well. To read the stories in the annuals, you can look up something like, “Transformers UK annual 1985” and find them all that way.
Very early into your read, I recommend reading the story “State Games” from the 1986 annual. This story gives the origin of the War and many major characters.
Then, once you've read UK issue #120, read “Vicious Circle” from the 1987 annual. I guess as an ad for the annuals, issue #120 leads into this story with a cliffhanger.
Once you've read to UK issue #290, read “The Magnificent Six!” in the 1991 annual, a story that closes out the Earthforce arc from the comic.
Once you have finished all the comics, read “Another Time & Place” in the 1992 annual, the story that ends this UK comics continuity.
The letters pages etc. are optional but often fun and recommended by me and are on TFWiki.
If scan quality is bad, check to see if there are scans of reprints available, which there are for some stories like “Target: 2006,” or check to see if it’s a story that’s in both the UK and US comics. I know I had to switch to the US comic scans when I ran out of UK-exclusive comics when I got to #290.
I want to also say to anyone interested in the Marvel comics that even though I really love a lot of the lore and characterization and bizarre funny things in them, there’s also plenty of bad, too. Approach these comics critically like you would the Sunbow cartoon, knowing that while it can be really fun, there’s also negative elements (particularly regarding women). With that in-mind, have fun reading these comics in which the Space Bridge was a literal bridge made out of a tortured guy and Optimus Prime blew himself up because he didn’t save some NPCs in a video game.
