Transformers: Generation One Audiobook The Battle for Planet Earth

I picked this audiobook up a long time ago, but just recently I found a set that included the cardboard box they came in. I believe it was available in the UK and it’s dated 1985. It was manufactured by Pickwick International.

It’s a two cassette set. The individual boxes are identical on the outside, but the j-card (for anyone not old enough to remember audio cassettes, that’s what they call the cardboard insert inside an audio cassette box) shows the names of the individual stories. Volume 1 includes “Terror on Mount Sheelah” and “Bumblebee to the Rescue”. Volume 2 includes “Menace at the Dam” and “Espionage!!!!”.

I haven’t listened to them myself, but according to TFWiki.net they have a single narrator rather than a full cast of voice actors like the audio versions of the Ladybird Books Transformers stories. Pickwick International collaborated with Ladybird Books on those. (I will have to do a blog on the Ladybird Transformers books sometime.) The four stories are available on YouTube if you want to listen to them.
