The Transformers: Revolution

In 2016, IDW launched The Transformers: Revolution, a one-shot comic by writer John Barber and artist Andrew Griffith that served as a pivotal bridge between the publisher's various Hasbro-owned franchises. This single issue brought together Transformers, G.I. Joe, and other action figure icons into a shared universe, setting the stage for the larger "Revolution" crossover event. It matters as the key entry point for IDW's ambitious, interconnected Hasbro universe, showcasing Barber and Griffith's ability to blend high-stakes robot action with military sci-fi.
