Description

Presenting the final phase of IDW's Transformers universe in recommended reading order, including one-shots, crossovers, and event series! The fate of Cybertron lies in the hands of Starscream and Windblade as each tries to win allies and support for control over the Council of Worlds. After the costly victory against the Titans, Iacon is in shambles and Starscream finds himself on shakier ground than ever. The key to his political (and likely literal) survival rests in the outcome of a very unlikely event- the trial of the Council's first official war criminal-Chromia of Caminus! Revolution is over-but the danger to Earth is just beginning. As Optimus Prime pulls Earth into the larger universe, he's painted a target on it... and a new alien incursion begins when a corkscrew-shaped craft drills into our world! Plus, follow the adventures of the crew of the Lost Light! In the aftermath of Revolution, Rodimus and his crew are stranded with no ship-and no hope of escape! Collects Transformers- Till All Are One issues #9-12 by Mairghread Scott and Sara Pitre-Durocher, Transformers- Optimus Prime issues #1-6 by John Barber, Kei Zama, and Alex Milne, and Transformers- Lost Light issues #1-7 by James Roberts and Jack Lawrence.

Author Biography

John Barber is IDW's Editor-In-Chief. A former editor at Marvel, his comics writing credits include- Transformers, Optimus Prime, Spidey, Doctor Strange, Back to the Future, and many other projects across many other media. He lives in San Diego with his family. Mairghread Scott grew up in Dearborn, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit, and was raised on a healthy diet of Shakespeare, Monty Python, and three iterations of Star Trek. After college, Mairghread worked her way up as an assistant while writing plays and honing her talents. Then she landed a job as a Script Coordinator for Transformers Prime and G.I. Joe Renegades. Mairghread got her first opportunity to join a writer's room there and it led to her first professional script, "Stronger, Faster." Since then, she has written for many different TV shows and comic books as a freelance writer and story consultant. She has had the joy of helping to create the first fan-built transformer, Windblade, and bring her to life in the IDW comics series of the same name as well as writing Windblade's introduction to the new animated series Transformers Robots in Disguise. James Roberts is a British comic book writer best known for his contributions to the Transformers franchise, having worked consistently with the robots in disguise since he co-wrote the 2010 limited series, Last Stand of the Wreckers, with Nick Roche. His first solo story, the two-part "Chaos Theory," appeared in Mike Costa's ongoing Transformers title and explored the origins of Optimus Prime and Megatron's relationship. He and Costa co-plotted the series' finale, "Chaos." Roberts is best known, however, for Transformers- More Than Meets the Eye (often abbreviated to MTMTE), the ongoing series that launched in January 2012 and ran for 57 issues, plus annuals and one-shots, and the series Transformers- Lost Light, which continues the events from his previous series.
