To be honest, I never paid much attention to Transformers comics in the past and usually just skimmed through them online without any desire to buy physical copies. However, this book completely changed everything for me. After finishing Volume 1, I immediately went out and ordered the rest of the volumes. Here is my review from an illustrator's perspective: Revolutionary Ink Art Style: If you appreciate high-level illustration, the art style here is a massive and refreshing departure from traditional Transformers comics. Daniel Warren Johnson brings a gritty, ink-heavy, and highly expressive line art that gives the giant robots an incredible sense of weight and organic power.Cinematic Visuals & Vibrant Colors: Every page feels like a high-budget movie storyboard. The framing is cinematic, and the action sequences are packed with incredible dynamic tension. Combined with Mike Spicer's beautifully bright and vibrant coloring, the visuals practically leap off the page. Gripping, Action-Packed Plot: The storytelling is fast-paced, thrilling, and intense. It creates an addictive reading experience that keeps you turning pages non-stop. A Treasure for Art Enthusiasts: As someone deeply passionate about illustration, I find this book to be an exceptional reference. Every single panel is worth studying and admiring for its composition and raw artistic energy. Final Verdict: This physical trade paperback is an absolute masterpiece and worth every penny for your permanent collection. Whether you are a long-time Transformers fan or just an art lover, do yourself a favor and buy a physical copy to appreciate the artwork properly. Highest recommendation!

I’ve recently gotten back into Transformers after over a decade and wanted to dive into the comics. After hearing much praise of this story, I wanted to check it out. The end result: HOLY CRAP! This story is incredible and very engaging so far. This volume packs so much of a punch that I was entirely expecting. The brutality is insane where I felt so many emotions while reading it through. Sadness, heartbreak, anger, anguish all wrapped into one. The art truly shines and comes to life through every page. This volume has already highlighted why Optimus Prime has always been one of my favorite characters. So much respect, compassion, nobleness. So many layers and good ideologies presented through this volume alone. The Decepticons are a force to be reckoned with - Starscream being new leader after the fall of Megatron and decides to go on a killing spree. Just crazy, R rated material and it works very well. I will definitely continue reading this storyline! As a renewed Transformers fan, this is a hard recommendation! Certainly has lived up to the hype.

Transformers as I never thought I'd like. I'm a 80s baby so the kids only version is what all I knew and is my definitive version of the series. BayFormers they're meh mostly but don't hate them because again I'm a 80s baby Ive seen and know the lore of series so I know it wouldn't be what I already know completely plus it's geared towards those who are familiar with the franchise and get a new generation of fans. This comic flips the series on its head with a more hard core dark and serious tone definitely not for kids and I'm all for it so I'm going to read every issue of this there is.

Great read with incredible characters and amazing artwork

5/5 writing and art. Already one of the best transformers comics ever. I wish the physical graphic novel had at least the covers and some sketch/preliminary art pages in the back. Hopefully they come in a future hardcover or omnibus version.

Book arrived in good condition and good quality pages

Gift for my husband he read it in a day, he couldn't put it down once he started

... à un univers qui m'était totalement inconnu. Des scènes d'action spectaculaires très bien illustrées guidées par un scénario simple et ultra rythmé. Seul défaut, tout va si vite que cela en devient à la limite confus notamment au jeu du qui est qui et du qui veut quoi. Une deuxième lecture n'est d'ailleurs vraiment pas inutile. Au final, il en ressort une belle histoire qui, si elle est dominée par l'action et l'héroïsme, n'en demeure pas moins touchante de par les relations entre humains et robots. Un très bon premier volume qui appelle la lecture du suivant.

I thought this was a great re-telling of the G1 universe earth arc. The art is impeccable. Would make a great Netflix series as long as they don’t skimp out on production costs

Fantastic storytelling and artwork! Highly recommended for any fan

The detail is amazing and is very well fit in the panels. It has a different look from the G1 series perspective, but has that original style look from the series. As someone whose childhood has been Transformers (and I’m only 11) this was a very fun experience. The book was overall, an interesting read that brought together the simple elements of G1, combined it with the details the author gave and created a master piece. Kinda sad about Bumblebee’s death :( . But still beautiful book,

Está genial. Me gustó mucho, los dibujos, la historia. No lo recomiendo para niños
