☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeCollecting the second half of the original Marvel US Transformers series, this hefty volume picks up with issues #40–80, spanning the post-Movie era through the end of the run. It covers major storylines like the Underbase saga, the return of Unicron, and the final battles against the Decepticons, all written by Simon Furman and Bob Budiansky with art by a rotating roster of Marvel's finest. This compendium also includes the UK-original stories that were reprinted in the US comic, offering a comprehensive look at the classic Generation 1 continuity.
In "The Underbase Saga! Part One: Club Con!", Simon Furman and Andrew Wildman deliver a high-stakes chapter of the Transformers mythos, where Spike must embrace his role as Fortress Maximus to confront Galvatron’s assault on Earth. On a ruined Cybertron, the Neo-Knights and Hi-Q awaken the Last Autobot, tasked with restoring a world shattered by Unicron, while on Klo, the Decepticons close in on the Autobots after tracking Grimlock’s signal. Daniel Warren Johnson’s striking cover captures the tension, setting the stage for a saga where destiny, survival, and the fate of entire worlds hang in the balance.
In the final hours of Cybertron’s existence, the Autobots and Decepticons stand united against Unicron’s relentless assault, their alliance crumbling as the planet burns. With the fate of all Cybertronians hanging in the balance, Optimus Prime makes the ultimate sacrifice, using the Creation Matrix to end Unicron once and for all. But as the dust settles, a chilling new presence emerges—something old, ancient, and far more dangerous than any they’ve faced before.
In a fractured universe still reeling from Unicron’s fall, the Last Autobot stirs on a ruined Cybertron, awakened by the Neo-Knights and Hi-Q to a task no one thought possible: to rebuild a world beyond saving. Meanwhile, on Earth, Spike must embrace the legacy of Fortress Maximus once more as Galvatron unleashes a brutal assault on the Canadian forces, forcing him to confront a destiny he’s long tried to outrun. And on the distant planet Klo, the Decepticons close in on the Autobots, their hunt guided by the trail of a single, damning tracer left behind by Grimlock.
In "End of The Road!", the Autobots face their darkest hour on Klo after a crushing defeat at the hands of the Decepticons. With hope fading, Optimus Prime is reborn through the Last Autobot’s desperate act, using Hi-Q—carrying Prime’s memories—as the foundation for a new beginning. Though the Decepticons retreat, their departure is far from final, leaving the Autobots on uncertain ground, facing a threat that’s far from over.
