Transformers: Autocracy

In 2012, IDW launched Transformers: Autocracy, a single-issue comic that delves into the early days of the Autobot-Decepticon war. Written by Chris Metzen and Flint Dille, with art by Livio Ramondelli, this story focuses on the escalating conflict before Optimus Prime takes command. It serves as a key piece of IDW's larger Transformers mythos, offering a gritty, political look at the origins of the civil war that defines the franchise.
