OK, so you just read ALL the nice things we said about the ENERGON UNIVERSE, right?

Even if you’re not a TRANSFORMERS fan to begin with: you’re gonna love this one!!!
Optimus Prime was supposed to have led the Autobots to victory. Instead, the fate of Cybertron is unknown, and his allies have crash-landed far from home, alongside their enemiesâthe Decepticons.
As these titanic forces renew their war on Earth, one thing is immediately clear: the planet will never be the same. New alliances are struck. Battle lines are redrawn. And humanityâs only hope of survival is Optimus Prime.
Superstar creator DANIEL WARREN JOHNSON (DO A POWERBOMB!, Wonder Woman: Dead Earth), alongside showrunner ROBERT KIRKMAN (THE WALKING DEAD, INVINCIBLE**), reimagines Hasbroâs robots in disguise for a brand-new generation.
