About the series
A single-issue milestone from IDW's acclaimed Transformers run, this 2011 one-shot marked a turning point for the series following the end of the "All Hail Megatron" and "Last Stand of the Wreckers" arcs. Written by James Roberts and John Barber, it sets the stage for the two parallel ongoing series that would follow, "Robots in Disguise" and "More than Meets the Eye," by exploring the ideological fallout of a fractured Cybertron after its leader steps away.
