About this Collection

This volume reprints the earliest issues of Marvel's original Transformers comic series, collecting the first four issues that launched the Autobot-Decepticon war on Earth. It includes the debut of Optimus Prime, Megatron, and the classic cast, adapting their arrival and initial conflict from the 1984 toy line and animated series.

The Transformers Collected Comics #1 (1985) kicks off with the epic clash of the Autobots and Decepticons, two factions locked in a millennia-long war that spills onto Earth after their ships, the ARK and the Nemesis, crash-land on our planet. Written by Bill Mantlo and Ralph Macchio, with dynamic art by Frank Springer and inks by Kim DeMulder, this foundational issue sets the stage for an intergalactic conflict that transforms the battlefield into our own world.
