Make first contact in Daniel Warren Johnson's TRANSFORMERS #1

Skybound and Hasbro’s Energon Universe is on the point of develop with the launch of Daniel Warren Johnson‘s Transformers series in October. Johnson and colorist Mike Spicer are teaming for a story that reimagines the arrival of the Autobots and Decepticons on Earth and sets the stage for big things to come from the shared universe that will also include G.I. Joe-centric titles Duke and Cobra Commander. Today Skybound released a first interior preview for Transformers #1, which introduces the series’ human protagonists as they make a stunning discovery.

Here’s how Skybound describes Transformers #1:

Optimus Prime was presupposed to have led the Autobots to victory. Instead, the destiny of Cybertron is unknown, and his allies have crash-landed removed from residence, alongside their enemies—the Decepticons. As these titanic forces renew their struggle on Earth, one factor is straight away clear: the planet won’t ever be the identical. New alliances are struck. Battle strains are redrawn. Humanity’s solely hope for survival is Optimus Prime.

The writer has beforehand revealed the lineups for the Autobots and Decepticons who can be showing in the collection, a minimum of initially. Among the heroic Autobots can be Optimus Prime, Ratchet, Cliffjumper, Arcee, and Wheeljack; Starscream, Rumble, Skywarp, Laserbeak, and Soundwave make up the evil forces of the Decepticons.

Along with a number of covers by Johnson & Spicer, Transformers #1 can even sport variant covers by Ryan Ottley (open-to-order), Orlando Arocena (1:10 incentive), Cliff Chiang (1:25 incentive), Francis Manapul (1:50 incentive), and Ian Bertram (1:100 incentive spoiler cowl). An open-to-order clean sketch cowl can even be obtainable.

The Energon Universe formally kicked off in June in the pages of Robert Kirkman & Lorenzo De Felici‘s Void Rivals #1. The issue saw a pair of aliens, crash-landed on an unknown world, stumble across the Autobot Jetfire while trying to repair their ship. Jetfire’s look was temporary, as he wakened, stated some stuff about needing to get again to Cybertron, and instantly flew off, and it’s unknown the place the character will pop up once more.

Check out all of the variant covers, in addition to 4 inside pages from Transformers #1 under. The subject is ready to reach in shops and digitally on Wednesday, October 4th. You can even learn an early evaluation of the difficulty, based mostly on an ashcan that was obtainable at San Diego Comic Con, right here.
