After reaction to the first book in The Transformers Trilogy proved disappointing, ibooks editor Steven A. Roman brought in David Cian to write the second and third books.<ref>Speaking of Books</ref> Cian would go on to edit the Transformers Legends anthology, also for ibooks.
David Cian was originally to write the prequel novel Ghosts of Yesterday; however, the deadlines and further problems resulted in a situation in which he was forced to turn in a rushed draft, and the novel was later rewritten by Alan Dean Foster.<ref>Brief Note about Ghosts of Yesterday</ref>
