Some Club Changes

This Transformers club solicitation letter was circulated via mail by Liane 'Tetra Reris' Elliot in 1993. The letter addresses the lack of material and club updates that plagued the 'Transaction' club; the successor publication and group that replaced the first Transmasters fan club back in the early 90's. The letter is only 1 page, but calls for a new club, mentions organization of the new zine 'Overlord II', and addresses lots of internal drama.
