Kiss Players: The Worst Transformers Comic

This week, we take a look at the misguided idea to add kissing to the mythology. In 2006, there were 3 comics made in Japan to promote a small toy release by Takara Tomy, the creators of Transformers. It added the concept that Transformers could get powered up by getting a kiss from pretty girls. And then they jammed the story in between the animated movie and season 3 of the cartoon. It’s a delightfully weird comic so let’s have some fun.
