"Transformers One" has released its first trailer, finally giving the public the peek that CinemaCon attendees got last week. Directed by Josh Cooley, the film looks to offer a breezy and colorful animated adventure akin to the "Spider-Verse" films.
Does the title "Transformers One" sound like a misnomer to you? Audiences have already been subjected to eight of these movies and they're infamously not good ("Bumblebee" is innocent and 1986's "The Transformers: The Movie" barely skirts by on nostalgia despite how cynical it was). Well, you see, the ninth "Transformers" movie will be going back to the beginning. Set on Cybertron, the home planet of the Robots in Disguise, the film is set before the Transformers got to Earth, before the Autobots and Decepticons went to war, and before Optimus Prime and Megatron had those names.

Fans of the latter can already mark their calendars for Ghostbusters Fan Fest this summer, and now fans of both franchises can look forward to a new Transformers / Ghostbusters crossover comic book miniseries that will premiere this June from Idw Publishing.
Press Release: San Diego, CA – Spinning out of the mind-blowing reveal that a Transformers-Ghostbusters™ Collaborative figure, the Ecto-1 Ectotron, will be available, Idw Publishing proudly announces that the beloved franchises will unite for an offbeat, out-of-this-world adventure in Transformers / Ghostbusters, a comic book miniseries debuting in June.
In the first chapter of the “Ghost of Cybertron” storyline, the Autobots – having escaped from the war that destroyed their home planet – trace a stray Cybertronian signal to the planet Earth. Investigating the otherworldly source will bring the Robots in Disguise face-to-face...

Transformers: More than Meets the Eye # 20
Written by James Roberts
Art by Alex Milne with Inks by Brian Shearer
Published by Idw comics
After the insane, massive info-dump that was the last issue of “Transformers: More than Meets the Eye”, it’s a welcome change to have the latest installment Not hitting the reader with a barrage of information, back-story and worldbuilding. Of course, it would have been nice for the issue to not feel especially rushed and undercooked, but you can’t always get what you want apparently.
The issue opens moments after the ending of the last, with Ratchet desperately trying to fix a cleft-in-twain Ambulon, Rodimus, Skids and Co still trapped in a cell with new arrival Getaway, and Cyclonus and Whirl going all 300 Spartans on a swarm of Legislators, with the help of the Circle of Light. The issue spends most of its time flitting back...

Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye # 19
Written by James Roberts
Art by Alex Milne with Inks by Brian Shearer
Published by Idw Comics
Especially for a book like “More than meets the Eye”, which is built on a solid foundation of world-building and character development, it takes a Lot to make an issue feel this, well, big. Even more so to make it feel too big, which issue 19 almost does.
A plot summary, or even basic intro, is almost impossible, because nearly every page contains some incredibly important bit of exposition, a dramatic character moment or some substantial world-building. Without spoiling anything, over the course of a mere 22 pages, we learn the true origin of Ultra Magnus, the secret behind cold-cast sparks, just how crazy Pharma’s gone (hint: very), just how crazy Tyrest’s gone (hint: Very), why Tyrest is covered in holes, Why Whirl still has claws and a mono-eyed face,...

Published by Idw Comics
“Transformers: More than Meets the Eye” issue 18 hit the shelves this week, bringing the second chapter of the “Remain in Light” story arc to the increasingly rabid readership. In last month’s issue, the crew of the Lost Light pursued Ultra Magnus through a mysterious wormhole, which would be weird enough if Magnus didn’t have a gaping hole in his chest and a fading spark.
The new issue picks up right after the cliffhanger ending of the last one, with the Lost Light coming under attack by the big lumpy yellow guys who menaced Skids way back in issue one. While the landing party which made ground on the lost moon of Cybertron, Luna 1, try to evade an incredibly spiky Lockdown,...

A year and a bit ago, their main Transformers comics, then written by Mike Costa, imploded in upon itself in a black whole of overblown stories and bad or outright non-existent characterization, and in the aftermath, Idw came back with two new ongoing titles, subtitled “Robots in Disguise” and “More than Meets the Eye” respectively.
