Transformers #9

Part of IDW's "Bold New Era" for the Transformers franchise, this 2019 issue brings together an impressive assembly of Cybertronians rendered in vibrant purples, oranges, and blues against a deep starfield backdrop. The cover showcases a large orange-and-red Autobot looming behind a prominent purple Decepticon thrusting forward dramatically, flanked by several other robots — including a female Cybertronian in teal and a trio of faces peering up from the foreground — with a sleek orange spacecraft cutting across the composition. With story credits to Ruckley, Hernandez, Malkova, and Lafuente, and cover art signed by the artist, this issue offers a packed, energetic snapshot of the sprawling cast driving this ambitious reimagining of the Transformers universe.
