Book DescriptionReview “You couldn’t ask for a better beginning as you get in on ground-zero for a lot of the defining parts of the mythology. The ride begins here and now, so get on board!” -AiPT!”Unbelievably accessible, crafting a reboot that has quite a lot of brevity, while also exuding a ton of charm and fun. With expressive visuals and a promising narrative, Transformers captures the magic of what the franchise can be.” -ComicBook.comGreat world building. The relationship between Orion Pax and Megatron is fascinating. TRANSFORMERS… is in good hands with Ruckley, Hernandez, Whitman, and Lafuente.” -Comicsverse“A new, yet familiar, world for the Transformers to inhabit. Longtime fans will feel comfortable in the settings created and new or returning fans will be able to start fresh with this new series and continuity.” -GWW Read more About the Author Brian Ruckley is the author of five fantasy novels, including The Free, The Edinburgh Dead, and the three novels of The Godless World trilogy. Before he became a full-time writer in the 2000s, he attended Edinburgh and Stirling Universities and had a series of assorted jobs around London, most of them in the charity-sector. Much of his work has involved extensive overseas travel, environmental and community projects, nature conservation, and fundraising. He now lives back in Edinburgh with his wife and misses the excitement of London only a little, and only occasionally. Read more Customers Review: I loved Transformers as a kid growing up in the 80s. I collected the toys, the comics, watched the cartoon, cried at the animated movie in theaters. But I grew out of it in the early 90s and never looked back. As an adult, I came back to comics/graphic novels and while my tastes have changed substantially, I had heard IDW was making Transformers stories that would appeal more to an adult crowd, so when I saw they were starting a new continuity from square one, I was intrigued.I picked up this book and gave it a read. Glad I did, too, because it was excellent. The more nuanced, human-like relationships of the Transformers gave a much more emotional and political touch to the story than what I’ve seen before with these same characters. Dealing with life and death, social turmoil, rising dissatisfaction with the government and an interesting view on the imperfect, isolationist views of the Autobots that stoke the flames of their opposition’s ire make for a fascinating and believable tale.I eagerly await the next volume.
