Auto-Update is a Transformers newsletter published in 1993.
This newsletter was by produced by Tony "Auto Forse" Buchanan in May 1993 after continued disorganization of the US Transmasters club. They were circulated to club members from mid to late '93 with help from one or two members but primarily mailed out directly from Tony Buchanan. The newsletter ended with issue 78 dated July 1999 but actually was in Spring of 2000 as issues were behind at the end. Tony has re-started Auto Update online starting where issues left off at 79 in June of 2024 and posts issues on 21 different Facebook Transformers groups so far with plans to make his own Facebook page for Auto Update soon.
Issue 1 (v.1 n.1)
Auto-Update 1 was published in May 1993.
The newsletter is 4 pages and one separate 2-sided page that includes a a brief text address and list of mail recipients for the newsletter in hand. The newsletter addresses the disorganized state of the club as well as some internal opportunities, a focus on the new (at the time) releases for the Generation 2 toy line, and (outdated) contact information for various fan-produced zines and publications.
