Transformers: Escape

In the wake of IDW’s sweeping Transformers reboot, Escape (2020–2021) follows a small band of Autobots and Decepticons stranded on a hostile alien world, forced to forge an uneasy truce to survive. This five-issue miniseries, written by Brian Ruckley with art by Bethany McGuire-Smith, deepens the post-war character dynamics introduced in the larger relaunch. It matters as a focused, intimate character piece that explores trust and desperation away from the main Cybertronian conflict.
